RAT CATCHER

Google’s Ratproxy is a free testing tool that searches for security problems in web applications.
Several test suites help you look for vulnerabilities in web-based applications, but many of these applications are expensive or difficult to use.

In July 2008, the company decided to release the current version to the general public under the Apache License 2.0.
