What tools are available to assess the security of a web application?

There's a large number of apps that can be used in web application assessments. One thing to consider is what kind of tool you're looking for.
Some of them are better used alongside a manual test, where others are more designed for non-security specialist IT staff as more "black box" scanning tools.

On top of that there's a huge range of scripts and point tools that can be used to assess specific areas of web application security.
