Framework Tools - Websleuth

WebSleuth is an early Alpha release of what will be the first tool of the black-box testing toolkit, and is built to help a user manually understand various security issues of his / her system. It is not intended to replace or compete with commercial tools, and there is certainly no shiny red-button automating attacks. However it is an investigative learning tool that with some patience and knowledge, helps you to find and learn about issues you may have in your web applications. It is written to allow people to code plug-ins for specific issues and this release has a form validation plug-in as a demonstration. We currently have plug-ins for SQL Injection being developed by Chip Andrews from SQLSecurity.com, and Session ID prediction being developed by Dave Endler from iDefense.com

WebSleuth allows you to edit HTTP and HTML requests on the fly in real-time. The first releases implements many features including the ability to test for:

Parameter Manipulation
Cookies
Form Fields
URL Query Strings
HTTP Headers (referrer etc)

Informational
Comments
Meta Tags

Input Validation
Cross Site Scripting
Client-Side Validation
