RE: Test for SQL Injection

How about Paros for general SQL injection and Absinthe for Blind SQL
injection (both free tools)?  WebScarab is also a good general-purpose
proxy for web application security testing.  The OWASP WebGoat package
is a vulnerable web server with a great set of tutorials to learn about
how many different web application vulnerabilities are exploited.

Check www.owasp.org for preventative techniques.

I also recommend SANS 319 taught by Tanya Baccam.

I imagine that HP Scrawlr is a bit pricey.
If JavaScript is required to enable the Submit button on an HTML form,
is there a way to circumvent this?
I do have two layers of server side protection from SQL Injection as
well.

I have used HP's scrawlr.

To prevent attacks, validate input in your forms (server-side, not 
just with
javascript) and make sure any querystring parameters are filtered or 
validated with server-side code before they are passed to the
database.

What are some open source utilities I can use to test a web page for 
SQL Injection vulnerability (MySQL), and what coding practices can be 
implemented to prevent the exploit?
