  • Nessus: A popular vulnerability scanner that provides a comprehensive scan of your network or web application.
  • OWASP ZAP: An open-source web application security scanner that helps detect vulnerabilities in your web applications.
  • Burp Suite: A powerful tool for web vulnerability testing, which includes an intercepting proxy, intruder, scanner, and spider.
