AxMan ActiveX Fuzzer

As promised, I have released my ActiveX fuzzing tool, aptly named AxMan. This tool was used to discover and debug almost every single ActiveX flaw published during the Month of Browser Bugs. In addition to the MoBB issues, this tool discovered over 100 unique flaws on a Windows XP SP2 system with common third-party packages installed. I am releasing this tool without my blacklist.js file of discovered vulnerabilities; this should give the vendors some breathing room while they figure out how to address these problems. An online demonstration of AxMan is available, but the interface is not designed to work across a slow network and a locally installed version will run much faster. Enjoy and happy bug hunting!

Dangerous tool. Very dangerous. I found flaws in third party programs such as, flash, acrobat reader etc.
Microsoft should consider to remove the Activex. But very much application rely on them so this is a tough one.

The Flash and Acrobat plugin bugs are probably exploitable as well.
