Web app security scanner Netsparker 2.0 released

Netsparker can crawl, attack and identify vulnerabilities in all custom web applications regardless of the platform and the technology it’s built on, just like an actual attacker.

It can identify web application vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site Scripting (XSS), remote code execution and many more.

Netsparker 2.0 comes with 7 major updates, 16 new security checks, 15 new features and tons of minor improvements.

The new version also introduces Vulnerability Database, which stores a list of known vulnerabilities for commonly-used systems and components.

When Netsparker identifies one of these systems by detecting its version, it’ll reference the database and report all known vulnerabilities for that particular version with severity and required references (such as exploit and CVE references).
