On this list we talk a lot about various vendor provided tools quite a bit. In general it appears most solutions are Windows-centric in their installation even if they work against multiple platforms. With the prevalence of LAMP systems I would figure there must be some means of doing a security assessment on their applications with native tools. It seems odd to me that there isn't a NESSUS equivalent for application testing. I'm wondering what is available from the Open Source community in the way of * Black Box web assessment software * Source code assessment software * Assessment management software I'm more looking for names/urls to projects than I am for any comparisons or descriptions.
