On May 5th, I posted the URL for a comparison report on web app security scanners to this list: http://fhgonline.fraunhofer.de/server?suche-publica&num=048.06/D&iese Here is what I wrote about the contents of the report at that time: "As I had mentioned in another posting to this list some time ago, a few months ago I completed a fairly extensive review of various tools: AppScan, WebInspect, Acunetix, (note AppScan and WebInspect have produced new versions since then), Burp, WebScarab, Spike Proxy, and some minor remarks on a few other tools. I used two applications as benchmarks: WebGoat and a proprietary application in production use. The report totals to about 170 pages." However, at that time in May, there was no English translation of the German original, which many people have asked for meanwhile. Yesterday, I was surprised to hear that Cenzic Inc. have had the report translated. So here is the English version now, a bit rough on the edges, but you will certainly get the picture: http://www.iese.fraunhofer.de/download/Security-Checker-Tools-for-Web-Ap plications.pdf (that link will be valid for four weeks from today). My thanks go to Cenzic for this contribution to the community.
