Hi:)
First of all, this is just a basic security test, not an advanced tool. Please keep in mind that in the current version I do not check the existance of suhosin module or SELinux mode. As far as I'm aware most of these vulnerabilities are NOT fixed by specific distros, but by suhosin module only.
I prefer the "better safe than sorry" approach and show some false positives (which can be manually filtered out by reading bug descriptions reported in links created by my class) rather than showing "you're secure".
Please. remember that this is not a tool like metasploit and I'm not trying to create one:) This application should be treated rather as a security lesson, that increases the security awareness among PHP developers and LAMP administrators.
Cheers,
Artur
