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.

ZAP provides automated scanners as well as a set of tools that allow you to find security vulnerabilities manually.

ZAP can also be run in a completely automated way - see the ZAP website for more details.

If you are new to ZAP then its recommended that you look at the Getting Started section.

ZAP is a fork of the open source variant of the Paros Proxy.
