OWASP Zed Attack Proxy Project

= Main =

The Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is an easy to use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications.

It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing.

ZAP provides automated scanners as well as a set of tools that allow you to find security vulnerabilities manually.

'''ZAP 2.3.1 is now available! Download it here:'''



ZAP is taking part in the Google Summer of Code 2014. See the OWASP wiki for suggested projects. And if you have any questions about this please ask them on the ZAP dev group

''' ZAP Is the Top Security Tool of 2013 as voted by ToolsWatch.org readers! '''

For a quick overview of ZAP and to see some of the more advanced ZAP features see these tutorial videos on YouTube:

For more videos see the links on the wiki videos page.
