Application Security Tools

This category is for articles describing application security tools. The tools can be divided into a few basic categories:

• Category:OWASP Tool
• Category:Commercial Tool
• Category:Non-OWASP Open Tool

Important note about commercial tools

OWASP encourages constructive discussion of commercial application security tools. We support the use of tools as a part of an application security program. However, we object to the marketing of these tools as a solution to application security. Vendors that claim that their tools address the OWASP Top Ten (and there are many) should be aware that this is well beyond the state of the art. In addition, the use of the OWASP brand in this manner is a violation of the OWASP brand usage rules.
