A lot of tweets today informed me about launch of Damn Vulnerable Web App (DVWA) which is basically an aid for security professionals to test their skills and tools and help web developers better understand the processes of securing web applications.

I had an old list of tools/plug-ins/utilities etc which can be helpful while playing with DVWA and I'd like to share the same for you to learn WebApp Security better.
