ExploitMe: Free Firefox Plug-Ins Test Web Apps (Dark Reading)

[Posted October 24, 2007 by jake]

Dark Reading covers the upcoming release of free Firefox plug-ins that test common web application vulnerabilities. As with most security tools, they could be used for good or ill. "The ExploitMe tools -- which are in currently in beta form -- include SQL Inject-Me, which lets you right-click on an HTML field in your Firefox browser and inject it with SQL injection payloads, and XSS-Me, which works the same way, but with XSS. The tools developers also plan to release Web services exploit tools as well."

I can't find a download link :(

I've found Tamper Data really useful too.  Though, the only use for that is getting things to
do things other people designed them to not let you do....
