Identify and Fix SQL Injection Vulnerabilities in Web Applications
Scrawlr is a free software for scanning SQL injection vulnerabilities on your web applications, developed by HP Web Security Research Group in coordination with Microsoft Security Response Center.
Scrawlr crawls a website while simultaneously analyzing the parameters of each individual web page for SQL Injection vulnerabilities.
After the scanning process, if it can find vulnerabilities, it will display your database table names as a proof of the possible SQL injection vulnerabilities.
From the HP Scrawlr website:
