You may want to check out this, it is a summary of each of the OWASP Top 10,
as well as a open source tool you can use to test for it:

Hi Zaki,

I this case I was refering to automated scanners, which wont detect
everything :)

Yes, penetration testing can find things like insecure cryptographic
storage.
However to be sure you really need to have access to the servers (esp
databases) and the source code.

Cheers,

Simon
