the best web vulnerability scanner

This is list of the best web vulnnerability scanner.. hope you like it.

- arachni

Arachni is an Open Source, feature-full, modular, high-performance Ruby framework aimed towards helping penetration testers and administrators evaluate the security of web applications. Arachni is smart, it trains itself by learning from the HTTP responses it receives during the audit process and is able to perform meta-analysis using a number of factors in order to correctly assess the trustworthiness of results and intelligently identify false-positives. Unlike other scanners, it takes into account the dynamic nature of web applications, can detect changes caused while travelling through the paths of a web application's cyclomatic complexity and is able to adjust itself accordingly. This way attack/input vectors that would otherwise be undetectable by non-humans are seamlessly handled by Arachni. Moreover, Arachni yields great performance due to its asynchronous HTTP model (courtesy of Typhoeus) -- especially when combined with a High Performance Grid setup which allows you to combine the resources of multiple nodes for lightning fast scans. Thus, you'll only be limited by the responsiveness of the server under audit. Finally, it is versatile enough to cover a great deal of use cases, ranging from a simple command line scanner utility, to a global high performance grid of scanners, to a Ruby library allowing for scripted audits.

- acunetix

Acunetix was founded with this threat in mind. It was understood that the only way to combat website hacking was to develop an automated tool that could help companies scan their web applications to identify and resolve exploitable vulnerabilities. In July 2005, Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner was released - a heuristic tool designed to replicate a hacker's methodology to find dangerous vulnerabilities -- like SQL injection and cross site scripting -- before hackers do. Acunetix WVS brings an extensive feature-set of both automated and manual penetration testing tools, enabling security analysts to perform a complete vulnerability assessment, and repair detected threats, with just the one product.
The Acunetix development team consists of highly experienced security developers, all with extensive development experience in network security scanning software prior to working on Acunetix WVS. The management team is backed by years of experience in marketing and selling security software.

- nikto

Nikto is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 6500 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, checks for outdated versions of over 1250 servers, and version specific problems on over 270 servers. It also checks for server configuration items such as the presence of multiple index files, HTTP server options, and will attempt to identify installed web servers and software. Scan items and plugins are frequently updated and can be automatically updated.

- w3af

w3af (short for web application attack and audit framework) is an open-source web application security scanner. The project provides a vulnerability scanner and exploitation tool for Web applications. It provides information about security vulnerabilities and aids in penetration testing efforts.
This cross-platform tool is available in all of the popular operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and OpenBSD and is written in the Python programming language. Users have the choice between a graphic user interface and a command-line interface.

- skipfish

Skipfish is an active web application security reconnaissance tool. It prepares an interactive sitemap for the targeted site by carrying out a recursive crawl and dictionary-based probes. The resulting map is then annotated with the output from a number of active (but hopefully non-disruptive) security checks. The final report generated by the tool is meant to serve as a foundation for professional web application security assessments.
