RE: Web Application Tester

[<chuan.delahosseraye () accenture com>]

According to my previous search on a Web pen-test tools, AppScan,
WebInspect and Scando are all much more expensive than AppDetective. If
cost is a concern, it might be possible to combine a selection of free
tools such as:

- Nessus
- Nikto
- WebScarab
- Achilles

But this would involve a lot of Manual works.

Hope this helps
Chuan

Andrew,

I don't know what's your budget, but for web applications you can try
the following commercial products:

- AppScan, by Sanctum (www.sanctuminc.com)
- WebInspect, by Spidynamics (www.spidynamics.com)
- ScanDo, by Kavado (www.kavado.com)

...Or the good ol' Paros (http://www.proofsecure.com/download.shtml),
open source and free

Hope this helps
