The open source variant of Paros hasnt been updated for many years.
However the OWASP Zed Attack Proxy
is a fork of Paros and is under active development.
See http://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Zed_Attack_Proxy_Project
for more details.

Its nice to see they are working on this again (instead of the original
paros which vanished behind a paywall) but it is still using self signed
certs that expired in 2002. I am looking more at webscarab
(http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_WebScarab_Project)
although recently IE has had issues with its certificate spoofing (it
uses the exact same public key for its fake CA as for the issued cert;
this saves coding, but IE is doing something stupid with that and
believing its a self-signed cert instead of looking up the CA cert in
its keystore.)

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT 
and CEPT certs require a full practical examination in order to become certified.
