- Application Type - What type (language and framework) is this? The "Detect" option is preferable because ThreadFix will look at the project folder and attempt to detect the language and framework. If there are detection issues, the specific language and framework can be selected. Please note that currently only Java/JSP and Java/Spring applications are supported by ThreadFix's HAM engine.
- Source Code URL: This is the git URL where the application's source code can be found. Currently only anonymous git access is supported and this is a known issue.
- Source Code Folder: This is the folder (from the perspective of the ThreadFix server) where the application source code can be found if the application is not available via unauthenticated git/SVN.
Providing ThreadFix with access to the application source code will allow the server to perform a lightweight static analysis of the source code and build an internal database of the application's attack surface and the source code elements responsible for each piece of attack surface. This attack surface database allows for the advanced interactions both inside of ThreadFix and with external tools that was mentioned above.
