OWASP ZAP

Free intercepting proxy, the open alternative to Burp.

OWASP's intercepting proxy: it sits between the browser and the application to see, stop and modify every request. It covers the same ground as Burp Community and a bit more, because its **active scanner** is not crippled: it can crawl the whole application and run automated injection, XSS and configuration checks. It is free and has an API, so it is the choice when automation matters or when a Burp Pro licence is not on the table.
