Paros software can intercept and modify all HTTP and HTTPS data, from cookies to form fields, between server and client.
If you're looking to evaluate the security of your web applications, 'Paros' is a program that you can count on. It's a free program that's written completely in Java. Due to its proxy nature, Paros can intercept and modify all HTTP and HTTPS data that passes between server and client, which means cookies and form fields are also covered.
One of the main selling points of this program is its performance. Through the use of inline DB, Paros is able to deliver better performance, which makes it suitable for large sites testing in scanning and spidering. In fact, the program's spider feature also enables URL crawling and form crawling, with configurable options on options values and combinations.
The scanner feature is another standout feature of Paros. It supports multiple hosts/threads, and generates alerts that can be viewed during scanning. If you have any custom filters you want to add, all you have to do is drop it into the filter directory using the Filter interface.
Paros has undergone a range of improvements in the latest release. Virtually 90% of the codes have been re-written, resulting in improved connectivity. The authentication support has been improved, with support for proxy authentication and individual server authentication. Session saving has also been enhanced, with site hierarchy and history restored from session file.
The user interface has also been improved, with the ability to click on tab to maximize working panel. The use of Ant (1.6.2) build.xml is now supported, making it easier to use.
All these and more features make Paros a reliable program for security evaluation. It is also cross-platform, and only requires Java JRE/JDK 1.4.2 or above. Be sure to try it out today and protect your web applications.
