Santum and SPI Dynamics Web App scanner shoot-out
Starting to look at web application scanners. January 2003 - Wide Open on Port 80 - How good are Web app scanners at rooting out vulnerabilities? We test two of the leading tools head-to-head to find out. This review of the two leading ones is interesting. It leaves something to be desired though. I understand network vulnerability scanning, you have lots of standard devices in lots of places. With web apps each one is a custom app. There are logic errors. There are specific features on them like the fuzzy numbers/letters that are there to specifically thward bots from running the app. You gotta have some human intervention.
