The Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is an easy to use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications.

It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing.

ZAP provides automated scanners as well as a set of tools that allow you to find security vulnerabilities manually.

The current version of ZAP is 1.4.0.1.

ZAP is ideal for Security Regression Tests - see this video on Youtube

For more videos see the links on the wiki videos page.

Want a very quick introduction? See the project pamphlet.

For a slightly longer introduction see the project presentation.
