Firefox Extensions for the Security Tester
by Roshen Chandran
| 13 Apr 2006 | Comments
As a die-hard Firefox fan, I am often quizzed on my favourite FF extensions. Here’re some I find useful as an application security penetration tester:
- Live HTTP Headers - study the request/response headers from within your browser.
- Modify Headers - And modify those headers.
- Tamper Data - Again, go ahead and edit those requests and responses!
- JS View - dive in and get the javascripts in a single-click
- View Rendered Source Chart - the ultimate tool to render the page source fully. I’ll cover this in greater detail soon.
- Show IP - a tool to quickly dig into an IP address
- Server Spy - fingerprint the webserver while you are browsing :)

I think you forgot the excellent Web Developer. Excellent for doing many things in-browser... for e.g. viewing hidden form fields, enable disabled form fields, remove maximum field length restriction etc.
