Useful vulnerability reporting data, flexible, and simple implementation
Omar Sánchez (Mr.Tech)
It's buggy and seems to try to do too many things, but having this on a USB drive has been valuable.
We've been able to do lots of tests and have gotten lots of useful results.

    Overview

    Our dynamic application security testing (DAST) solution crawls to the deepest, darkest corners of even the most modern and complex apps to effectively test for risk and get you the insight you need to remediate faster. With AppSpider on your side (or, rather, all of your sides), you’ll be able to scan all the apps today and always be ready for whatever comes next.

    w3af is a Web Application Attack and Audit Framework. The project's goal is to create a framework to help you secure your web applications by finding and exploiting all web application vulnerabilities.
