WebScarab is a web security application testing tool. It serves as a proxy intercepting web browser web requests and web server replies.[1]

WebScarab has been developed as open source by The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). It is currently implemented in Java for cross-platform purposes. WebScarab acts as a proxy and intercepts agent HTTP and HTTPS requests from the user agent. The operator may edit captured requests before sending them to the server, allowing him to modify the content to his needs.

Web scarab also offers recording of traffic, for further review.
