look into a proxy for web app testing such as burp proxy, paros, or
webscarab.  Additionally you will also find a fuzzer very useful in
which burp has a very good one.  There are commercial app scanners out
there that are pretty good at finding the low hanging fruit such as
XSS but to manually test everything you will spend most of your time
in a proxy.

Hello,

I have been reading up on Application Security and Software Security
Testing. I am interested tools you use in detecting any security bugs in
business applications, may it be a web application, a C+ GUI, or what
have you.

Any opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
