    @stake WebProxy - The Interactive Application Security Testing Tool
    
    WebProxy is a powerful interactive security tool that helps software 
    developers, quality engineers, and security professionals test and 
    enhance the security of Web applications. 
    
    Sitting between the developer's browser and the Web application, WebProxy 
    acts as a 'proxy' to let the developer observe precisely how the Web 
    application responds to staged attacks, such as those that use buffer 
    overflows, SQL injection, cookie manipulation, cross-site scripting or 
    parameter manipulation. By identifying security vulnerabilities while the 
    software is still in development, companies can more cost-effectively 
    improve the overall security of any Web application.
    
    Designed to act as an HTTP/HTTPS proxy server, @stake WebProxy allows 
    monitoring and manipulation of requests made by the browser to the Web 
    application. WebProxy has powerful automation to spider an entire 
    website, test for known vulnerabilities, and even find unknown 
    vulnerabilities in custom code.
    
    Features and benefits:
    
    Re-submission and on-the-fly editing of previous requests, which allows 
    the developer to test custom application attack scenarios. Editing 
    capabilities include support for parsing of query parameters, request 
    headers, and POST parameters, as well as cookie editing. Requests can be 
    automatically modified based on a matching regular expression for ease-of-
    use. 
    
    Logging of requests and replies to text files, allowing the developer to 
    maintain a record of past requests for use in regression testing. 
    Dynamic certificate generation, enabling transparent support for testing 
    SSL-enabled applications. 
    
    Cookie management, hashing, and decoding utilities, providing a 
    convenient interface for analyzing encoded application traffic. 
    Quashing of header parameters, allowing the developer to observe how the 
    application reacts when certain headers are missing. 
    
    Automated fault injection or "fuzzing" of request parameters, which can 
    be used to test for SQL injection, directory traversal, cross-site 
    scripting, buffer overflows and character set vulnerabilities. 
    Support for Proxy Chaining, which allows WebProxy to be used in 
    conjunction with existing proxy servers. 
    
    New in version 2.1: 
    
    Spidering traverses all links to any depth on a website and finds forms 
    and pages with errors. 
    
    Categorized browsing allows automated testing for known vulnerabilities 
    and configuration errors. 
    
    NTLM authentication allows testing of websites that use Windows NTLM 
    authentication.
