XSStrike

XSStrike stands out because it doesn't simply throw a pile of payloads at an application; it analyzes the response context and generates payloads accordingly. Its parsers, fuzzing engine, crawler, parameter discovery, DOM XSS support, and WAF detection make it particularly useful when basic scanners produce weak results. We'd reach for XSStrike when context-aware XSS testing is the priority, especially when straightforward payloads are being filtered or escaped.
