RE: SPAM-LOW: New(?) web app sec scanner: NTOSpider

[Tommy <tommy () providesecurity com>]

NTOSpider is a privately funded, up and coming App Scanner Company. Their
core team originally came from Foundstone, and were responsible for
FoundScan. I tested it successfully against numerous applications for my
paper that will be out sometime in January.

I personally like the fact that it can be completely run from the command
line. PLUS it's the fastest scanner I have seen.  I will be curious how it
will place in the App Scanner market, especially with the latest
improvements to AppScan 6 and Hailstorm 3.   The next year or two will be an
interesting scanner war.

Regards,

Tom Ryan

Hello everyone,

more and more web app sec scanners seem to appear.
Has anyone heard anything substantial yet about NTOSpider?
The web site contains only marketing speak and references
to typical web app sec stuff:
