New Improved Netsparker 3.1.4 is Available for Download

A new update of Netsparker Web Application Security Scanner is available for download. In this new version 3.1.4 we included small improvements to the user interface and also improvements the mechanics of the security scanner, such as improved the validation of the Custom 404 Error Page RegEx, improved the Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability template etc.

We have improved the Netsparker Scan Policy Editor dialog for better usability in this release. You no longer need to open the settings dialog to edit settings of a policy, the settings are just right below to the selected policy. This will save you a few clicks while you are customizing your policies.

Refer to the below list for more detailed information about what was improved and fixed in this new version of Netsparker.
