Cal9000: CAL9000 is a collection of web application security testing tools that complement the feature set of current web proxies and automated scanners. CAL9000 gives you the flexibility and functionality you need for more effective manual testing efforts. Works best when used with Firefox or Internet Explorer. CAL9000 is written in Javascript, so you have full access to the source code.
Grendel-Scan: Grendel-Scan is an open-source web application security testing tool. It has automated testing module for detecting common web application vulnerabilities, and features geared at aiding manual penetration tests. The only system requirement is Java 5; Windows, Linux and Macintosh builds are available.

Nikto: Nikto is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 3500 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, versions on over 900 servers, and version specific problems on over 250 servers. Scan items and plugins are frequently updated and can be automatically updated (if desired).
Nnikto: A console app to perform forced browsing checks against a web server. The application uses a simple algorithm and various techniques to prevent/reduce false positives.

Ratproxy: A semi-automated, largely passive web application security audit tool, optimized for an accurate and sensitive detection, and automatic annotation, of potential problems and security-relevant design patterns based on the observation of existing, user-initiated traffic in complex web 2.0 environments. Detects and prioritizes broad classes of security problems, such as dynamic cross-site trust model considerations, script inclusion issues, content serving problems, insufficient XSRF and XSS defenses, and much more.

W3af: w3af is a Web Application Attack and Audit Framework. The project's goal is to create a framework to find and exploit web application vulnerabilities that is easy to use and extend. To read our short and long term objectives, please click over the Project Objectives item in the main menu. This project is currently hosted at SourceForge , for further information, you may also want to visit w3af SourceForge project page.
Wapiti: Wapiti currently search vulnerabilities like XSS, SQL and XPath injections, file inclusions, command execution, LDAP injections, CRLF injections. Wapiti uses the Python programming language.Wapiti allows you to audit the security of your web applications. Wapiti performs "black-box" scans and does not study the source code of the application but scans the webpages of the deployed webapp, looking for scripts and forms where it can inject data.
