Automatic exploit generation for Node.js applications.
When building Explode-js from source, it is recommended that you first ensure the following:
$ opam init
$ opam switch create 5.3.0 5.3.0
Then, you can proceed with the installation of Explode-js:
setup.ml
script:$ git clone https://github.com/formalsec/explode-js.git
$ git submodule update --init
# Or, if you only want to run explode-js and not the evaluation, use:
# $ git submodule update --init bench/graphjs bench/ECMA-SL
$ cd explode-js
$ ./setup.ml
$ dune runtest
For examples on how to run explode-js in different settings, see examples.
For benchmarking and evaluation see bench
