    WhiteHat Arsenal 1.06 Beta Release
    Free download available from:
    http://community.whitehatsec.com/
    
    
    What's new in WhiteHat Arsenal:
    
    Four weeks have passed since the last release of WhiteHat Arsenal.
    WhiteHat has spent that time killing various bugs and upgrading
    features. WHArsenal 1.06 Beta, is now faster, easier to use, and
    contains some new feature enhancements.
    
    Among the several minor changes, you'll notice Forced Browsing has been
    fitted with an HTTP Response Code lookup utility. This utility allows
    the user to look up the meaning of any HTTP Response code found in the
    HTTP/1.1 RFC. Encoding/Encrypting encoding has its own string
    manipulation field. You'll also notice a new HTTP Fix-up option to help
    with HTTP compliance. Also worth noting is an integrated Bug and
    Feedback submission form. This allows bug and feedback notification to
    happen easier. Remember we need all the feedback we can get to make
    WHArsenal the best web application security product available.
    Documentation on WHArsenal usage is also now part of the package.
    
    New Screen shots available.
    
    Quick Update:
    - HTTP Response Code Lookup
    - Interface Changes
    - Encoding/Encryption entry fields.
    - HTTP Fix Option.
    - Feedback and Bug Fix forms.
    - Faster Spider. The last releases of Spider had a "sleep 2" in the
    code. This has now been removed so expect a 2 second improvement per
    request while spidering.
    - Documentation now included within WHArsenal.
    
    * See changelog in the package for more detailed information.
    
    
    
    WhiteHat Arsenal is designed to be the next generation of professional
    web application security audit software.  Architected from the ground up
    to be a generic web application security productivity tool, WhiteHat
    Arsenal provides security professionals and web application developers
    access to the tools they need to make the job of securing web
    applications faster and easier than ever before.
    
    
    Currently, for even the most experienced security professionals, it is
    cumbersome if not impossible to quickly and efficiently execute most
    known web application attacks without resorting to quickly written
    custom utilities.  Writing custom utilities during a penetration test or
    formal security review is a waste of time; a security professional's
    time should be focused on actually identifying vulnerabilities and
    resolving them.  Unfortunately, penetration testers and web application
    developers alike lack effective tools to test common, let alone hard to
    find, security weaknesses.  As a result, many mission critical web
    applications are inadequately protected against the increasingly
    prevalent threat of malicious attacks.
    
    
    Many experienced information security professionals agree that
    currently available web security scanners, which scan only for known
    vulnerabilities, achieve only limited success as best.  Furthermore,
    these types of tools often result in an enormous overflow of false
    positives resulting in wasted time and effort.  WhiteHat Security
    understands these frustrating shortcomings of the existing tools and the
    increased need for securing the Internet's web applications. WhiteHat
    Arsenal is poised to revolutionize the manner in which web applications
    are penetration tested and secured.
    
    
    WhiteHat Arsenal possesses a powerful suite of GUI-Browser based web
    security tools. These endowments make WhiteHat Arsenal capable of
    completing painstaking web security penetration test work faster and
    more effectively than any tool currently available.  Imagine having the
    ability to quickly customize and execute just about any web security
    attack, and having those penetration attempts logged in XML format for
    later reporting or analysis.
    
    
    WhiteHat Arsenal makes it possible to quickly focus attention on HTML
    forms, to easily view their inputs, (even the hidden fields), and modify
    them in seconds. It can be utilized to rapidly uncover a vast a number
    of vulnerabilities in any web application by providing the ability to
    perform any of the following attacks faster than ever before:
    
    Perform the following attacks:
            Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
            Parameter Tampering
            Cookie Poisoning
            URL Manipulation
            CGI Directory Traversal
            Direct OS Commanding
            Meta Character Injection
            SQL Command Injection
            HTTP Request Header Manipulation
            HTTP Request Method Manipulation
            Protocol Manipulation
    
            and many more variants and combinations...
    
    
    WhiteHat Arsenal is about increasing the effectiveness of web
    application security testing and audits, saving huge amounts of time in
    the process. WhiteHat Security is on a mission to improve the way in
    which people build, secure and penetration test web applications.
