Netsparker

We are committed to developing a web application security scanner which accomplishes what it claims. A web application security scanner should find vulnerabilities and should not report false-positives. Therefore, instead of spending our time on creating useless features, we focused on actually finding vulnerabilities and eliminating false-positives.

Netsparker has confirmation and exploitation engines. These engines ensure that it does not report any false-positives and allow users to see the actual impact of attacks instead of a text which explains what might happen
