Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner is a paid software that scans your website for hacking attempts, malware, and other browser-based threats. The software is able to scan for SQL injections, XSS, and 4,500 of the most common website vulnerabilities.

Acunetix also is recommended for scanning WordPress library security loopholes. It can detect, repair, and diagnose over 1,200 core, theme, and plugin issues that present large privacy threats.

Users appreciate the software since it's fast and scalable. Depending on the size of your site, Acunetix can scan thousands of pages and links without faltering. The program is multi-threaded, meaning that it can scan website pages in parallel for a quick diagnosis.

Acunetix uses patented DeepScan technology, which is able to root out issues buried in Single Page Applications developed in HTML5, Javascript, and RESTful APIs. It features advanced detection on DOM-based XXS.

The software performs regular dynamic scans that can be used in production or upon site deployment.
