Dear Chick,

As far as Automated scanners are concerned, they give a lot of false
positives esp sql injection. Only way to eliminate this is to manually
replay the scenario. Appscan gives you a detailed report like how the
vulnerability has been discovered.

It gives you the URL and the parameter in which the injection has been
performed. It details, the request which has been sent and also the response
for the same.

Also Appscan has an option "show in browser" for each vulnerability. One can
test the vulnerability using this option in Appscan browser itself. Click on
the button and Appscan browser opens and one can verify it if there exist a
vulnerability.

Hope this helps.

Additional info: Automated scanners do give some good results. However,
false positives do exist. Manual verification is a mandate to eliminate
them.
The worse part is "False negatives". Automated tools cannot find out
everything in a scan.
So if you completely depend on Automated scanning your are in deep trouble.
Manual testing of the application is necessary for complete coverage.
