Abstract
As many Web applications are developed daily and used extensively, it becomes important for developers and testers to improve these application securities. Pen testing is a technique that helps these developers and testers to ensure that the security levels of their Web application are at acceptable level to be used safely. Different tools are available for Pen testing Web applications; in this paper the authors compared six Pen testing tools for Web applications. The main goal of these tests is to check whether there are any security vulnerabilities in Web applications. A list of faults injected into set of Web pages is used in order to check if tools can find them as they are claimed. Test results showed that these tools are not efficient and developers should not depend solely on them.
