Huge thanks for this, Ivan; you've done some excellent work here (some of which 
I know was not easy) that will be useful to us and, hopefully, many others.

Cheers,

mgoodwin

Subject: java script tainting project is functionally equivalent to DOMinator

Hello Everyone,

I am pleased to announce that I have finally brought my volunteer project
that adds string taint tracking to spider monkey to
functional equivalence with the community edition of the DOMinator project
https://dominator.mindedsecurity.com/.
This was the original goal when we started.

Mark Goodwin and I started this journey in December of last year and it has
been a long and difficult process.
The goal of the project was to add taint support for JSString objects in
spider monkey. This can be used as the basis for a
dynamic analysis framework, which can be used to detect DOM XSS
vulnerabilities.
Here is the tracking bug for it:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=811877.
This achievement allows us to focus on a new goal - namely to improve the
overall approach and performance of the framework,
so that it can become an integral part of spider monkey one day. Jim Blandy
will assist us in this new endeavor.

There is a lot of work left ahead of us, but if you want to look through
some of the code, you can do so at

Thank you,
Ivan
