Re: SQL Injection and XSS testing,

Hi John,
take a look at the OWASP Testing Guide.

In particular:
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_for_SQL_Injection
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_for_Cross_site_scripting

Here you can find the testing techniques and a set of open source
tools to use for this purpose.

For XSS and SQL Injection cheat sheet (by RSnake):

Cheers,
Mat

Securing a web application goes far beyond testing the application using 
manual processes, or by using automated systems and tools. Watchfire's 
"Web Application Security: Automated Scanning or Manual Penetration 
Testing?" whitepaper examines a few vulnerability detection methods - 
specifically comparing and contrasting manual penetration testing with 
automated scanning tools. Download it today!
