WebScarab

Rogan Dawes created WebScarab, an open-source security testing tool for web applications. Its main objective is to intercept and modify HTTP and HTTPS traffic between the user's browser and the web application. This is done to identify vulnerabilities in web applications that could potentially be exploited by hackers.

• WebScarab offers a wide range of features, including the ability to intercept and edit data sent between the client and server, manipulate cookies, and analyze requests and responses for potential security problems.
• It can also perform automated scanning of web applications for common security issues, such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection attacks.
• Users can customize WebScarab's filters and scripts to suit their specific testing needs. The tool is highly extendable, with support for a variety of plug-ins and add-ons.

WebScarab is a powerful yet user-friendly tool for identifying security vulnerabilities in web applications.
