OWASP Zed Attack Proxy – Integrated Penetration Testing Tool
https://www.ispeech.org/text.to.speech
The OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is an easy to use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications. It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing as well as being a useful addition to an experienced pen testers toolbox.
With its automated scanner and powerful REST API, ZAP fits seamlessly into your continuous integration environment, allowing you to automate the finding of common issues while you’re still in development.
It’s classified as a flagship project for OWASP meaning it’s mature and has demonstrated strategic value to OWASP and application security as a whole. It’s also fully translated into 25 different languages, which is more than a lot of commercial/enterprise tools.
