This project has far more detail on DAST tools and their features than this OWASP DAST page. However, the results provided by WAVSEP may be helpful to someone interested in researching or selecting free and/or commercial DAST tools for their projects. WAVSEP is completely unrelated to OWASP and we do not endorse its results, nor any of the DAST tools it evaluates. OWASP is aware of the Web Application Vulnerability Scanner Evaluation Project (WAVSEP). OWASP does not endorse any of the Vendors or Scanning Tools by listing them in the table below. Here we provide a list of vulnerability scanning tools currently available in the market.ĭisclaimer: The tools listing in the table below are presented in alphabetical order.

If you are interested in the effectiveness of DAST tools, check out the OWASP Benchmark project, which is scientifically measuring the effectiveness of all types of vulnerability detection tools, including DAST. A large number of both commercial and open source tools of this type are available and all of these tools have their own strengths and weaknesses. This category of tools is frequently referred to as Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) Tools.

Web Application Vulnerability Scanners are automated tools that scan web applications, normally from the outside, to look for security vulnerabilities such as Cross-site scripting, SQL Injection, Command Injection, Path Traversal and insecure server configuration.
