Whisker is an excellent tool and the price is right.  You may want to also
check out VLAD from BindView RAZOR, http://razor.bindview.com

And while I am on the topic of BindView, for a good commercial product check
out HackerShield. I wrote some product reviews for www.ntsecurity.net on all
of the major scanning tools and if I had to compare them head to head, I
would go with HackerShield as my primary then back up the information with
multiple freeware tools.

Disclaimer:  at the time of my product reviews, I was truly an unbiased
third party.  Today, I cannot claim the same to be true.

Some good non-commercial web scanners (available for
free on the Net) include "whisker" a PERL based script
by rainforest puppy (which does a good job on UNIX web
servers), and GNIT (which does a good job on IIS/NT
servers).

I like to use at least some of the same tools that the
web defacers out there are using, in addition to
commercial tools. I think sometimes commercial tools
lag, or don't seem to understand the significance of
some vulnerable script, etc..
