ZAP (software): History, Features & Overview

ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) is a dynamic application security testing tool published under the Apache License. When used as a proxy server it allows the user to manipulate all of the traffic that passes through it, including HTTPS encrypted traffic. It can also run in a daemon mode, which is then controlled via a REST-based API.
