Gents,

The has nothing to do with asp. asp.net is as secure as classic asp
is insecure.

To extend the car analogy, I would point to a vehicle made in the USA
called the pinto. A poorly engineered product makes it much more
likely for an individual to mess up.

Regarding asp.net, the only times I've found sql injection issues
during a pentest, have been when developers of the app have taken it
upon themslevs to change the defaults (found in vs.net 2005 and
greater).

So the question, restated, is has anyone found any common issues in
asp.net apps developed with vs.net 2005 or greater?
