  Hiho,


I have been asked to look for a good web vulnerability scanner. I
already have Nikto and Nessus (free version) in my toolkit. Can anyone
recommend a good web scanner?

  Depends. Where do you see the shortcomings of nikto und nessus[*]
  that another webscanner should make up?

  Cheers,

  Christine Kronberg.

  [*] I know both have some shortcomings, but then, pentesting is a
      good deal of imaginative handiwork. :-)
