Apparatus and method for securing web application server source code

A web application server source code security system, comprising:

• one or more servers coupled to a network and configured to enable access to web application source code responsive to an access request from a client device;
• the one or more servers, responsive to the access request, pushing to the client device polling functionality code that communicates to the one or more servers an activation notice of a client debugging console and responsive to the activation notice storing a console status;
• and
• the one or more servers enabling client device access to the source code, responsive to both the access request and determining when the client device debugging console is inactive.

A web application server source code security system, comprising:

• one or more servers, coupled to a network, that enable and disable access to web application source code responsive to an access request from a client device;
• the one or more servers (a) parsing the access request and extracting data from an internet protocol referrer field, and (b) comparing the extracted data to a list of one or more trusted referrers in one or more databases to determine if the client device is a trusted referrer;
• the one or more servers, responsive to the access request, pushing to the client device polling functionality code that communicates to the one or more servers an activation of a client debugging console and storing a console status;
• and
• the one or more servers configured to enable client device access to the source code, responsive to the access request and determining at least one of the client device (i) debugging console is inactive and (ii) is a trusted referrer.
