XSStrike

Detects XSS by analysing context and generating tailored payloads.

An XSS hunter that does not just fire a payload list. It analyses where the parameter ends up reflected (inside an attribute, a `<script>`, an HTML comment), studies which characters survive the filter and **builds** the payload that fits that specific context. That is why it finds cases fixed-list scanners miss, and why its results must be verified by hand before being trusted.
