WSSAT is an open source web service security scanning tool which provides a dynamic environment to add, update or delete [vulnerabilities]() by just editing its configuration files. This tool accepts WSDL address list as input file and for each service, it performs both static and dynamic tests against the security vulnerabilities. It also makes [information disclosure]() controls. With this tool, all web services could be analysed at once and the overall security assessment could be seen by the organization.
**Objectives of [WSSAT]() are to allow organizations:**
* Perform their web services security [analysis]() at once
* See overall security assessment with reports
* Harden their web services
**WSSAT 2.0**
**REST API** scanning support was added with same dynamic [vulnerability]() management environment philosophy as SOAP services. [ChangeLog]()
