DSXS

// our take

DSXS is a great example of a tool that does one small job extremely simply. At under 100 lines of Python, it can test GET and POST parameters and identify some reflected and DOM-based XSS cases without the complexity of a full framework. We'd reach for it when we need a fast, lightweight XSS sanity check or a tiny script we can easily understand and modify. Its simplicity is also its limitation: don't expect the coverage or context analysis of modern XSS scanners.
