Top 10 Web Vulnerability Scanners

Β  Β  Β After the tremendously successfulΒ 2000Β andΒ 2003Β security tools surveys,Β Insecure.OrgΒ is delighted to release this 2006 survey. I (Fyodor) asked users from theΒ nmap-hackersΒ mailing list to share their favorite tools, and 3,243 people responded. This allowed me to expand the list to 100 tools, and even subdivide them into categories.Β This is the category page for web vulnerability scannersΒ β€” the full network security list isavailable here. Anyone in the security field would be well advised to go over the list and investigate tools they are unfamiliar with. I discovered several powerful new tools this way. I also point newbies to this site whenever they write me saying β€œI don’t know where to start”.
Β  Β Respondents were allowed to list open source or commercial tools on any platform. Commercial tools are noted as such in the list below. No votes for theΒ Nmap Security ScannerΒ were counted because the survey was taken on a Nmap mailing list. This audience also biases the list slightly toward β€œattack” hacking tools rather than defensive ones.
Each tool is described by one ore more attributes:

NiktoΒ : A more comprehensive web scanner
Nikto is an open source (GPL) web server scanner which performs comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 3200 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, versions on over 625 servers, and version specific problems on over 230 servers. Scan items and plugins are frequently updated and can be automatically updated (if desired). It usesΒ Whisker/libwhiskerΒ for much of its underlying functionality. It is a great tool, but the value is limited by its infrequent updates. The newest and most critical vulnerabilities are often not detected.

Paros proxyΒ : A web application vulnerability assessment proxy
A Java based web proxy for assessing web application vulnerability. It supports editing/viewing HTTP/HTTPS messages on-the-fly to change items such as cookies and form fields. It includes a web traffic recorder, web spider, hash calculator, and a scanner for testing common web application attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting.

WebScarabΒ : A framework for analyzing applications that communicate using the HTTP and HTTPS protocols
In its simplest form, WebScarab records the conversations (requests and responses) that it observes, and allows the operator to review them in various ways. WebScarab is designed to be a tool for anyone who needs to expose the workings of an HTTP(S) based application, whether to allow the developer to debug otherwise difficult problems, or to allow a security specialist to identify vulnerabilities in the way that the application has been designed or implemented.

WebInspectΒ : A Powerful Web Application Scanner
SPI Dynamics’ WebInspect application security assessment tool helps identify known and unknown vulnerabilities within the Web application layer. WebInspect can also help check that a Web server is configured properly, and attempts common web attacks such as parameter injection, cross-site scripting, directory traversal, and more.

Whisker/libwhiskerΒ : Rain.Forest.Puppy’s CGI vulnerability scanner and library
Libwhisker is a Perl module geared geared towards HTTP testing. It provides functions for testing HTTP servers for many known security holes, particularly the presence of dangerous CGIs. Whisker is a scanner that used libwhisker but is now deprecated in favor ofΒ NiktoΒ which also uses libwhisker.

BurpsuiteΒ : An integrated platform for attacking web applications
Burp suite allows an attacker to combine manual and automated techniques to enumerate, analyze, attack and exploit web applications. The various burp tools work together effectively to share information and allow findings identified within one tool to form the basis of an attack using another.

WiktoΒ : Web Server Assessment Tool
Wikto is a tool that checks for flaws in webservers. It provides much the same functionality asΒ NiktoΒ but adds various interesting pieces of functionality, such as a Back-End miner and closeΒ Googleintegration. Wikto is written for the MS .NET environment and registration is required to download the binary and/or source code.

Watchfire AppScanΒ : Commercial Web Vulnerability Scanner
AppScan provides security testing throughout the application development lifecycle, easing unit testing and security assurance early in the development phase. Appscan scans for many common vulnerabilities, such as cross site scripting, HTTP response splitting, parameter tampering, hidden field manipulation, backdoors/debug options, buffer overflows and more.

N-StealthΒ : Web server scanner
N-Stealth is a commercial web server security scanner. It is generally updated more frequently than free web scanners such asΒ Whisker/libwhiskerΒ andΒ Nikto, but do take their web site with a grain of salt. The claims of β€œ30,000 vulnerabilities and exploits” and β€œDozens of vulnerability checks are added every day” are highly questionable. Also note that essentially all general VA tools such asΒ Nessus,Β ISS Internet Scanner,Β Retina,Β SAINT, andΒ SaraΒ include web scanning components. They may not all be as up-to-date or flexible though. N-Stealth is Windows only and no source code is provided.
