  • HP WebInspect
    An enterprise-focused tool suite that includes a scanner, proxy, and assorted other tools.
  • WebScarabNG
    The latest version of this famous suite from OWASP. Includes a web services module that allows you to parse WSDLs and interact with their associated functions.
  • IBM AppScan
    IBM's enterprise-focused suite.
  • Acunetix
    Acunetix's enterprise-focused suite.
  • NTOSpider
    NTObjectives's enterprise-focused suite.
  • W3af
    w3af is a Web Application Attack and Audit Framework. The project's goal is to create a framework to find and exploit web application vulnerabilities that is easy to use and extend.
  • Websecurify
    Websecurify is a powerful web application security testing environment designed from the ground up to provide the best combination of automatic and manual vulnerability testing technologies.
  • Samurai
    Websecurify is a powerful web application security testing environment designed from the ground up to provide the best combination of automatic and manual vulnerability testing technologies.
  • Skipfish
    A fully automated, active web application security reconnaissance tool written by Michal Zalewski of Google.
  • RAFT (Response Analysis and Further Testing Tool)
    RAFT is a testing tool for the identification of vulnerabilities in web applications. RAFT is a suite of tools that utilize common shared elements to make testing and analysis easier. The tool provides visibility in to areas that other tools do not such as various client side storage.
  • Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP)
    The Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is an easy to use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications. It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing. ZAP provides automated scanners as well as a set of tools that allow you to find security vulnerabilities manually.
Standalone Web Assessment Tools
  • Nikto
    Nikto is an command line Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 6400 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, checks for outdated versions of over 1000 servers, and version specific problems on over 270 servers.
  • Wikto
    Wikto is Nikto for Windows - but with a couple of fancy extra features including Fuzzy logic error code checking, a back-end miner, Google assisted directory mining and real time HTTP request/response monitoring. Wikto is coded in C# and requires the .NET framework.
Web Assessment Utilities Browser Extensions
  • Websecurify Chrome Extension
    The Chrome Extension version of the Websecurify tool. Performs a scan and tells you the results summary, but there's no authentication or detailed view of findings. It's more of a quick-touch option before you run a real tool.
  • XSS Me
    The Firefox Extension.
  • SQL Inject Me
    The Firefox Extension.
Vulnerable Test Websites

These sites are purposely vulnerable for the purpose of testing web app security scanners. They are designed for this purpose, but I'd check to make sure it's ok before scanning them (just to be sure).
