Audit your website security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner
As many as 70% of web sites have vulnerabilities that could lead to the theft of sensitive corporate data such as credit card information and customer lists.
Hackers are concentrating their efforts on web-based applications – shopping carts, forms, login pages, dynamic content, etc. Accessible 24/7 from anywhere in the world, insecure web applications provide easy access to backend corporate databases.
Firewalls, SSL and locked-down servers are futile against web application hacking!
Web application attacks, launched on port 80/443, go straight through the firewall, past operating system and network level security, and right in to the heart of your application and corporate data. Tailor-made web applications are often insufficiently tested, have undiscovered vulnerabilities and are therefore easy prey for hackers.

SuperPreview
Expression Web provides new tools to make sure that the pages in your site work in multiple browsers.
Using SuperPreview, you can preview and compare pages simultaneously in multiple browsers, even in multiple versions of Internet Explorer. You can also compare browser views against a comprehensive mock-up (“comp”) image.
You can select individual elements within a page and see details about each selected element, helping you quickly find and fix cross-browser layout and positioning errors.
Snapshot Preview
Snapshot Preview provides a high-fidelity browser preview that updates live as you edit your code, saving you the time and effort of loading the page in a browser for each code change.
Deep Zoom
You can add both Silverlight and Seadragon Ajax Deep Zoom Composer images to your page in Expression Web from a composition created in Deep Zoom Composer.
FTP publishing
Publishing your site with FTP is faster than ever. When you click Publish, Expression Web automatically transfers several files at a time, instead of transferring them one by one, and it transfers them faster. You can easily manage multiple sites and remote locations and you can publish a site to multiple destinations.
Also, you can now publish your files over a secure FTP connection, using FTPS or SFTP.
Silverlight
Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross?platform plug-in for delivering rich interactive applications for the web. With Expression Web , you can add Silverlight video and applications to your web pages.
Expression Encoder 3 is now included in Expression Web . You can use it to convert your video to Silverlight and easily add it to your Web page. You can even choose a “skin” to customize how the video player appears on your site.
Internet Explorer 8
Expression Web supports Windows Internet Explorer 8, so you can update your older sites to be compliant with and take advantage of the new technologies in Internet Explorer 8.
Professional graphics tools
Powerful vector drawing and editing tools in the included copy of Expression Design 3 let you explore new artistic possibilities and create compelling graphic designs and illustrations.
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server integration
If you’re part of a workgroup that uses Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, Expression Web now supports source control for your Web site files.
Visual Web Ripper 2.17.7

Visual Web Ripper is a powerful visual tool used to easily extract content from web sites, such as product catalogues, classifieds, financial web sites or any other web site that contains information you may be interested in.
Visual Web Ripper harvests content from targeted web sites automatically and delivers the content as structured data in databases, spreadsheets, CSV files or as XML.
Visual Web Ripper can extract data from highly dynamic websites where most other extraction tools would fail. It can process AJAX enabled websites, repeatedly submit forms for all possible input values, and much much more. See the full feature list :
* Visual Web Ripper has a visual editor to define projects and templates. You use a mouse to click on the content you want to collect, so no coding is required.
* Visual Web Ripper can automatically walk through whole web sites and collect complete content structures such as product catalogues or search results
* Visual Web Ripper can walk through a website just as you would when using a normal Internet browser, so AJAX and other javascripts are fully supported.
* Visual Web Ripper has a fast multi-threaded data collector for web sites where AJAX is not required for data extraction.
* Visual Web Ripper can repeatedly submit forms for all possible combinations of input values in dropdown boxes, or you can supply a list of input values by yourself.
* You can supply parameter data from a database, such as form input values or URLs that should be visited.
* Visual Web Ripper can extract data from most framesets and iframes.
* A list of anonymous proxy servers can be setup to hide your IP-address and facillitate anonymous web scrapping.
* You can schedule content extraction to keep data up-to-date. The scheduler includes email notification, logging and status screens.
* Advanced selection techniques make project templates more resistant to structural changes on web pages, so a scheduled project can keep collecting data even if the structure of a webpage changes slightly.
* Email notifications can be sent out if the structure of a webpage changes so much that you must modify the scheduled project to continue extracting content from the webpage.
* Unique features allow you to extract data from web pages with an unstructured “flow” of content. Most other web data extraction tools are unable to extract data from such web pages.
* You can collect many different types of content, such as text, links, images, files, meta tags, tag attributes and many more.
* Visual Web Ripper supports AJAX and other javascripts, so now you can collect content from all these cool websites that are fully AJAX enabled.
* You can run data extraction projects from the command line.
* You can save extracted content to databases, spreadsheets, XML or CSV files. You can also save the data in an internal memory structure that can be used in conjunction with the API.
* Custom scripting in C#, VB.NET or Regex allows transformation of content as it is being extracted.
* You can use custom post-processing modules (.NET assemblies) to post-process data after it has been extracted. Custom modules are automatically triggered after a project has run.
* Visual Web Ripper includes a powerful API. You can use the API to modify and run projects from within your own applications, or use the API in conjunction with a post-processing module to easily post-process collected data.
* The Visual Web Ripper installer package includes examples showing how to build custom post-processing modules and how to use the API.
