RE: Pen tester

If you're interested in WebScarab (seems a lot like BurpSuite) you might be
interested in Paros. Like WebScarab and BurpSuite, it acts like a web proxy
on your local machine, and allows you to see requests and responses. One
thing it has on the others is the ability to analyze the crawl/trap data and
generate easy to read reports.

Nessus is great for a mixed environment. Good reporting, understandable
and has references to other links for more info.

GFI LanGaurd is great for Windows environments and can do much more than
a scan, it can push updates, show installed apps, and a few other useful
things.

Metasploit is hard to understand, but great for deeper analysis and
actually attacking a machine ( my favorite )

You can also use WebScarBar for webservers. I just downloaded/installed
it but have not figured it out yet.... Seems a little advanced too, but
I'm going to work on it next month sometime....It's like a packet
capture ( before send ) so you can modify the gets,posts,etc before
sending to the server. This would be more for attempting to XXS or SQL
inj. Cool idea though. I can't wait to play.

Hope this helps :)

Hi all,



I am working in a Telco as Assistant Manager, Information Security and
we want to use commercial scanner for pen testing (port scanning,
vulnerability scanning, exploit, password attack etc.).

Please provide me information what are the best pen testers and why?
