Hi Jason,

I'm not sure if you're interested in commercial tools
or not, but Rapid 7's vulnerability scanner NeXpose
will spider an entire website and test each field of
each form it encounters for vulnerability to cross
site scripting.

You can download an eval copy from www.rapid7.com.

Yours,
        Chad Loder
        Rapid 7, Inc.

Has anyone on the list done much with testing for XSS
vulnerabilities?

Has anyone written a simple work program to test for
these vulnerabilities that they are happy to
distribute so others can do basic testing for these
vulnerabilities?

There a few papers out on this topic, but none that I
hve seen that really focus on the testing side of
things.

Thanks
