I've been developing PHP software for over 5 years both professionally and as a hobby. During that time you learn a few tricks to make your software secure but the larger the project, the more likely potentially critical security flaws could creep in. As my main project increased in popularity, more security issues were being discovered so while looking for solutions to this problem I came across Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner. In a matter of minutes this program can report critical security issues, potential security holes, broken web links and more. If you're serious about security in your professional applications or if you're running a large website and want the piece of mind that there aren't any backdoors that could compromise yours and your visitors personal information then this software is for you.
