We have been happy with HP's WebInspect.


It however is not what you would call inexpensive.

Hi Mark,

You might want to take a look at the Web Vulnerability Scanner product from Acunetix.  It looks to have some very good 
features, and at the same time, is reasonably priced.

I need to test some web apps. I am not fantastic at this. I am looking
for a tool to help and due to a total lack of funds right now I cannot
buy anything. I need to check for the usual things like x site scripting
and sql injection and one of the apps generates a token and passes it on
to another site and I need to make sure that can not be "messed" with too.

any suggestions?
