7MS #246: Webapp Pentest Tool Bake-Off - Part 3
In part 3 of our Webapp pentest tool bake-off we're talking about...
Netsparker
In a nutshell, I was quite impressed with not only the product itself, but my interaction with the sales/support folks as well. Here are the highlights of my experience with Netsparker:
-
Quick learning curve - I feel confident I could teach newbies this tool in a short period of time
-
Boasts false-positive-free scanning
-
Offers both a cloud and LAN-based install
-
Can do multiple scans at once - you're limited only by the virtual hardware you install Netsparker on
-
Flexible reporting - everything from a nitty-gritty tech detail report to a barebones C-level "OMG your site is on fire!" type of export
-
Knowledgeable sales folks who are tech-savvy and gentle with their sales tactics
