WebScarab is a web security application testing tool. It serves as a proxy that intercepts and allows people to alter web browser web requests (both HTTP and HTTPS) and web server replies. WebScarab also may record traffic for further review.[1]
Overview
WebScarab is an open source tool developed by The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), and was implemented in Java so it could run across multiple operating systems.[2]
In 2013 official development of WebScarab slowed, and it appears that OWASP's Zed Attack Proxy ("ZAP") Project (another Java-based, open source proxy tool but with more features and active development) is WebScarab's official successor,[3][4] although ZAP itself was forked from the Paros Proxy, not WebScarab.[5]
