Using Firefox for web security audits

On October 19, 2007, in development, hacking, security, by eugenekogan

This is a great little article on the various tools/add-ons you can get for Firefox to do web security assessments. In the past I’ve had to hunt for stuff like this myself, so having it all in one list is handy. Here are the tools mentioned in the article:

Tamper Data

Web Developer

User Agent Switcher

Firebug

SwitchProxy

And the two most popular web security tools, not limited to Firefox: Paros and Burp. If anyone has any comments, or knows of some good add-ons that this list is missing, please post them!

Update: A new Firefox add-on is on the way: ExploitMe.
