Google Joins the Web Application Scanning Scene with Ultrafast Skipfish
,----[ Quote ]
| There are other tools and services that you
| can use for web app scanning. Nikto is one
| and it is open sourced. The formerly open
| source tool Nessus is another. There are also
| software as a service providers such as White
| Hat security who do web app scanning.
| NTSpyder is another non-open tool for web app
| testing.

Google releases web security scanner
,----[ Quote ]
| Google has released an open source scanner
| that allows web application developers to
| test their applications for security holes.
| The application, called Skipfish, offers a
| similar functionality to that of tools such
| as Nmap or Nessus, but it's said to be much
| faster. Using fully automated heuristics,
| it detects code that is vulnerable to
| cross-site scripting attacks (XSS), SQL and
| XML injection attacks and many other attack
| types. The tool's comprehensive post-
| processing of the individual test results
| is designed to help with the interpretation
| of the final report.

| Their goal is to cultivate the next
| generation of open-source software developers
| in evolutionary biology and promote the open,
| collaborative development of reusable,
| interoperable, standards-supporting
| informatics tools. And for the first time,
| the Open Bioinformatics Foundation, a
| umbrella group that guides the development of
| BioPerl, Biopython, BioJava, BioRuby, and
| several other open source bioinformatics
| projects, has also been accepted as a
| mentoring organization for this year's GSoC.
