Sometimes it so happens that the tools that you most frequently use are the ones that you forget writing about. Same is the case with the Syhunt SandCat. We use SandCat on almost a daily basis. It is an amazing tool to work with.
SandCat has two versions – free & pro. Both these versions are programmed with the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and the SANS Institute vulnerabilities in mind. You can also scan for the latest buzz word in the security market: WebDav with this tool. Basically, SandCat is a remote web application security assessment scanner. You can scan for almost all web application flaws. Sandcat remotely injects data in the web applications and analyzes the application response. This helps it to determine if the application code is vulnerable to specific attacks such as SQL Injection, XSS, and many other web application vulnerability flaws.
