Whisker is an excellent tool and the price is right. You may want to also check out VLAD from BindView RAZOR, http://razor.bindview.com And while I am on the topic of BindView, for a good commercial product check out HackerShield. I wrote some product reviews for www.ntsecurity.net on all of the major scanning tools and if I had to compare them head to head, I would go with HackerShield as my primary then back up the information with multiple freeware tools. Disclaimer: at the time of my product reviews, I was truly an unbiased third party. Today, I cannot claim the same to be true.

Some good non-commercial web scanners (available for free on the Net) include "whisker" a PERL based script by rainforest puppy (which does a good job on UNIX web servers), and GNIT (which does a good job on IIS/NT servers).
I like to use at least some of the same tools that the web defacers out there are using, in addition to commercial tools. I think sometimes commercial tools lag, or don't seem to understand the significance of some vulnerable script, etc..
