WhiteHat Arsenal 1.07 Beta Release Free download available from: http://community.whitehatsec.com/ === WHITEHAT ARSENAL 1.07 BETA: WHAT'S NEW =============================== Over the the last two months, WhiteHat has focused the majority its software efforts on improving WHArsenal. The tool is not only more powerful, but also easier everyone to use. We have accomplished this by drastically renovating and simplifying the user interface to make the suite more intuitive for average user. This allows users to save time and execute more web attacks quicker than ever before. We have posted several screen shots for your viewing pleasure. The user interface was not the only point we improved. A few new features have been added to make WHArsenal all the more powerful and flexible.Among these are "String Manipulation Palette", "Code Snippets", combined utility features, completely reworked the HTTP connection menu and also added a "Host Header Fix" option. Forced Browsing has seen new additions to the search lists, making the scan all the more thorough. As always, with your help, we have identified and resolved numerous bugs from the previous release. All in all version 1.07 is likely to be our single best version improvement to date. Finally, for those in attendance at BlackHat 2002 Las Vegas, WHArsenal will appear a few of the presentations. As always, WhiteHat continues to solicit your feedback. We rely heavily on your input for bugs and feature improvements. === WHITEHAT ARSENAL ===================================================== 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.
