Hi, 

I'm currently looking at evaluating some of the commercial tools in this 
area, I've not started, so I can't quote on the relatively qualities, but 
the list of tools I've put together is

Commercial Tools
-----------------
SPI Webinspect
Watchfire AppScan
Cenzic HailStorm
Protegrity Scando
Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner

In terms of Open Source The only projects I'm aware of (and I'd be 
interested to hear of others) are Beretta from OWASP and Cruiser from 
dyadlabs, and as far as I'm aware neither is at a production state at the 
moment.

Cheers

Rory

Hi All,

I am currently looking at using/evaluating a tool called AppScan (by
watchfire.com).

So the question is in two parts and ASAP reply would be greatly
appreciated.

First:
Without starting a flame war (hopefully) or marketing campaign
(another hopefully) can any one tell me abut their experience with the
software, what you find useful about it, what not, any annoyances,
missing functionality, etc.

Second:
Can anyone recommend any simular type of software, preferably open
source (although not at all essential), and describe its performance,
usability and "usefulness" so to speak using AppScan as a reference
point.

  Thanks,
      Serg
