Case Project 10-2: Discovering Web Application Attack Tools After discovering that Alexander Rocco Corporation has multiple Web servers running on different platforms, you wonder whether your security tools can assess Web application vulnerabilities thoroughly. You have only two tools for conducting Web security tests: Wapiti and Wfetch. Quiz Question a. Based on this information, write a two-page report on other tools for security testers conducting Web application vulnerability testing. Use the skills you have gained to search the Internet and explore the Kali DVD to find tools for Windows and *nix platforms. The report should state the tool's name, describe the installation method, and include a brief description of what the tool does.
