RE: Web Application Source Vulnerability Scanners

You might want to have a look at
http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/rdawes/exodus.html

It is the homepage of Exodus, a Java web proxy currently under development, but it also has links to a number of other similar tools.

>From the page:

Functionality existing in Exodus today

  • Proxies HTTP and HTTPS connections
  • supports upstream HTTP proxies (HTTPS coming soon)
  • support Basic-Auth and Proxy Basic-Auth (NTLM support will come if there is a need for it, I'm sure!)
  • Supports interception and modification of requests and responses (individually selectable)
  • Shows a log of requests received by the proxy, modifications made by the user/proxy, responses from the server, and modifications made to the response
  • Can render HTML responses to the screen

Exodus may be added to the OWASP project, as a complementary tool to PenProxy, OpenProxy and WebScarab. Since they are all GPL'd, there will almost certainly be cross-pollenation between them if that does not happen.

Does anyone know of open source vulnerability scanners in the Web Application Source Code security market segment? I am familiar and aware of the most common commercial tools (AppScan from Sanctum and WebInspect from SpiDymanics). The Open Web Application Application Security Project (OWASP) has started the development of an open source Weeb Application Vulnerability scanner called WebScarab, however, it is in the early stages of development.

Do you need help?X

Any assistance on indentifying specific open source tools (names and web sites were to download) are greatly appreciated.
