ScanDo is a Web application scanner that assesses the entire Web application to identify security loopholes through comprehensive exploration and penetration of the Web application and its operating environments. The tool reveals Web application vulnerabilities using the same techniques used by hackers, including the manipulation of IT infrastructure vulnerabilities, parameter tampering, Web services and SOAP vulnerabilities, hidden field manipulation, cookie poisoning, stealth commanding, backdoor and debug options, database sabotage, buffer overflow attacks, data encoding, and protocol piggybacking. Weaknesses are pinpointed and the risk level assessed within the applications to be managed. The solution then generates reports in graphical or textual formats for novice or experienced security personnel.--Kavado
