I've seen several blog posts recently announcing SWFScan, a free tool from HP for decompiling and inspecting swf files for security vulnerabilities. In this post, we'll take a quick glance at what the tool can do for you.
Search engine optimization has always been a thorn into Flash’s side. But on July 1st Adobe issued a press release stating that they had developed, in collaboration with Google and Yahoo!, a new Flash player intended to help search engines...
