There was a fairly extensive thread on this topic in August if you check the archives at Security Focus for the subject "Application Assessment" [Moderator feel free to moderate the following if inappropriate] My personal experience with WebInspect was chosen by SANS for a What Works WebCast that aired yesterday. https://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=90696 Allen Brokken Information Security and Account Management - IAT Services - University of Missouri -brokkena () missouri edu - (573)884-8708 -----Original Message----- From: Peter Wood [mailto:peterw () firstbase co uk] Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 9:06 AM To: webappsec () securityfocus com Cc: Charles' Subject: Re: FW: Tools comparison and evaluation question (AppScan) We use WebInspect on a daily basis too, and have done so since version 1.0. It's an excellent tool with some excellent (and constantly improving) utilities. Pete At 13:46 17/02/2006 +0000, Xyberpix wrote:
I use WebInspect pretty much ona daily basis, and wouldn't trade it for anything.

It also includes some invaluable utilities (Sql Injector, etc) that are a step above their open source competitors. -----Original Message----- From: Serg Belokamen [serg.belokamen () gmail com] Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 2:04 AM To: webappsec () securityfocus com Subject: Tools comparison and evaluation question (AppScan) Hi All, I am currently looking at using/evaluating a tool called AppScan (by watchfire.com). So the question is in two parts and ASAP reply would be greatly appreciated. First: Without starting a flame war (hopefully) or marketing campaign
(another
hopefully) can any one tell me abut their experience with the
software,
what you find useful about it, what not, any annoyances, missing functionality, etc. Second: Can anyone recommend any simular type of software, preferably open source (although not at all essential), and describe its performance, usability and "usefulness" so to speak using AppScan as a reference point. Thanks, Serg
