Appscan scans for many common vulnerabilities, such as cross site scripting, HTTP response splitting, parameter tampering, hidden field manipulation, backdoors/debug options, buffer overflows and more. AppScan was merged into IBM's Rational division after IBM purchased its original developer (Watchfire) in 2007.

Its support is excellent and although the tool is not cheap when it comes to web scanners, in my humble opinion you do get what you pay for. And before I cause a row - it is not a substitute for manual penetration testing by any means, but another good tool in the arsenal! </p> </dd> </dl> <h2>Comments disabled</h2> <p> <a href="/tool/appscan/feed/">Feed for updates.</a> </p> <p> <a href="/">Home</a> </p> </main><!-- content --> <footer id="nst-foot"> <form class="nst-search" id="nst-foot-search" action="/search/"> <input class="nst-search-q" name="q" type="search" placeholder="Site Search"> <button class="nst-search-button" title="Search"> <img style="width:100%;aspect-ratio:1/1;" alt="" aria-hidden="true" src="/shared/images/nst-icons.svg#search"> </button> </form> <div class="flexlists"> <div class="fl-unit"> <h2><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/">Nmap Security Scanner</a></h2> <ul> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/book/man.html">Ref Guide</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/book/install.html">Install Guide</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/docs.html">Docs</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/download.html">Download</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/oem/">Nmap OEM</a> </ul> </div> <div class="fl-unit"> <h2><a class="nlink" href="https://npcap.com/">Npcap packet capture</a></h2> <ul> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://npcap.com/guide/">User's Guide</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://npcap.com/guide/npcap-devguide.html#npcap-api">API docs</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://npcap.com/#download">Download</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://npcap.com/oem/">Npcap OEM</a> </ul> </div> <div class="fl-unit"> <h2><a class="nlink" href="https://seclists.org/">Security Lists</a></h2> <ul> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://seclists.org/nmap-announce/">Nmap Announce</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://seclists.org/nmap-dev/">Nmap Dev</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/">Full Disclosure</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://seclists.org/oss-sec/">Open Source Security</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://seclists.org/dataloss/">BreachExchange</a> </ul> </div> <div class="fl-unit"> <h2><a class="nlink" href="https://sectools.org">Security Tools</a></h2> <ul> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://sectools.org/tag/vuln-scanners/">Vuln scanners</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://sectools.org/tag/pass-audit/">Password audit</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://sectools.org/tag/web-scanners/">Web scanners</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://sectools.org/tag/wireless/">Wireless</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://sectools.org/tag/sploits/">Exploitation</a> </ul> </div> <div class="fl-unit"> <h2><a class="nlink" href="https://insecure.org/">About</a></h2> <ul> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://insecure.org/fyodor/">About/Contact</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://insecure.org/privacy.html">Privacy</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://insecure.org/advertising.html">Advertising</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/npsl/">Nmap Public Source License</a> </ul> </div> <div class="fl-unit social-links"> <a class="nlink" href="https://twitter.com/nmap" title="Visit us on Twitter"> <img width="32" height="32" src="/shared/images/nst-icons.svg#twitter" alt="" aria-hidden="true"> </a> <a class="nlink" href="https://facebook.com/nmap" title="Visit us on Facebook"> <img width="32" height="32" src="/shared/images/nst-icons.svg#facebook" alt="" aria-hidden="true"> </a> <a class="nlink" href="https://github.com/nmap/" title="Visit us on Github"> <img width="32" height="32" src="/shared/images/nst-icons.svg#github" alt="" aria-hidden="true"> </a> <a class="nlink" href="https://reddit.com/r/nmap/" title="Discuss Nmap on Reddit"> <img width="32" height="32" src="/shared/images/nst-icons.svg#reddit" alt="" aria-hidden="true"> </a> </div> </div> </footer> </div><!-- wrapper --> </body> </html>
