A new version of Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner is available in beta, and what a version! It has been one long year of development, testing and late nights at the office, though it was all worth it, and the results speak for themselves! Most of the core components have been rewritten, such as the crawler, scanner, vulnerability checks and the HTTP stack. Acunetix WVS Version 7 is around 75% faster and more intelligent scanner than its predecessors. Most of the web vulnerability checks have been migrated from VulnXML format to Scripts. This allows us to have more advanced and flexible security checks, while reducing false positives. It is also easier for you to develop your own web vulnerability checks. Version 7 also includes much more meticulous web security tests, some of which were not possible before.
