Google announced that it has released ratproxy their passive web analysis tool. It kind of “rides along with you” in order to determine what areas may be an issue. Since it can “ride along”, it can also scan restricted areas requiring authentication. It’s not a replacement for some of the more active scanners – webscarab and paros but it could certainly help the more casual user determine potential issues. It doesn’t, however, let you fiddle with the HTTP request/responses as the other proxies do. Play with it, see how you like it before adding it to your arsenal, but I think it will be a great addition.
