Hi John,
take a look at the OWASP Testing Guide.
In particular:
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_for_SQL_Injection
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_for_Cross_site_scripting
Here you can find the testing techniques and a set of open source
tools to use for this purpose.
For XSS and SQL Injection cheat sheet (by RSnake):

Cheers,
Mat

Dear all,
Excuse me for this basic question. Just wondering in regards to the SQL
injection, is it sufficient to insert the input with "1=1--" to test
whether a site is vulnerable to the SQL injection? How much level of
assurance can we get by testing the SQL injection limited to "1=1--"?
If I am not wrong I guess most of the security aspects in Web
application are mainly around input validation. So I was wondering is
there any free open source software to automate all the input? Or maybe
a list of stuff that usually need to test? Say SQL Injection or XSS? Is
there a list of parameters kind of cheat sheet?
John,
