Burp Suite Pro shines in new survey
Summary: A newly published survey compared the performance of 63 web application security scanners, and PortSwigger says it will work through the technical detail to understand how Burp Suite Pro performed and where it can improve. PortSwigger notes recent Burp Scanner enhancements including nested insertion points, new payload encodings, new vulnerability categories, and improved coverage of existing scan checks, and says it will continue enhancing the Scanner engine and the Spider tool during 2014.
Why it matters: The vendor's own account of its standing rests on a 63-scanner comparison whose detailed results it has not yet worked through, so the claim that Burp Suite Pro shines is being made before the underlying performance data has been analyzed.
