Acunetix web vulnerability scanner updated to 5.1 Build 70829
Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner (WVS) is an automated web application security testing tool that audits your web applications by checking for exploitable hacking vulnerabilities. Automated scans may be supplemented and cross-checked with the variety of manual tools to allow for comprehensive web site and web application penetration testing.
What’s new in this update :
- Huge improvement in memory handling! - Memory handling is now done in a much more efficient way and temporary data is now stored by default onto the hard drive freeing up a LOT of system memory especially when dealing with large websites.
- Introduced pre-conditions to various vulnerability tests - this will check if vulns can actually exist in a certain environment before starting to test for then - thus avoiding checking for vulnerabilities in vain and at the same time speeding up the scanning time.
- Summary view for alert nodes - avoids long delays in displaying all alerts under a node
- Added "Current Test" information to the scan information view
- Improvements in HTTP Fuzzer
- Fixed Javascript issue with parsing certain websites
- Fixed validation when saving login sequence file
- Fixed crash with error "sitefile parts already loaded"
- Fixed Web Services Scan Wizard detection of Inputs for particular WSDL URLs
- Fixed Web Services Scanner crash when clicking on some elements of the tree structure
