Hi Lister,

Foundstone (a division of McAfee) has build frameworks like Hacme
Bank, Hacme Casino, Hacme Travel, Hacme Shipping etc, which are for
security professionals, programmers and application developers to
understand security issues and flaws in applications and accordingly
then design a secured application. These frameworks include common
security issues such as:

1. XSS (which you are looking out for)
2. SQL Injection
3. HTML Injection
4. Funds or cash transfers due to application bugs
5. Weak session management
6. Cookie manipulation
7. Parameter manipulation

and many other security issues.

Not looking to re-invent the wheel, I'm looking for existing  availability
of XSS code to "gather" and "exploit" XSS tests as part of a pen-test.

I'm aware of the following
* AttackAPI
* W3AF
* XSSDB (the link is not working for some reason), is there a cached version?
* rsnake cheatsheet
* xss me (firefox plugin)

Looking for a framework that I can use/build on, I have my own webservers/cgi available
to grab session cookies, etc, but I'd like to see what frameworks already exist.

Not so much interested in how to check for XSS, but rather a way to exploit a given
XSS vulnerability if I have my own webserver and ability to write scripts to
actively take advantage of XSS as part of a pen-test.
