It can be difficult to know which web app scanner is good, but there is a nearly famous researcher who came up with a way to benchmark various tools:
His findings point to:
- Arachni
- IronWASP
- Wapiti
- W3AF
As high-quality open source scanners.
PLEASE NOTE that no automated scanner can find everything and manual verification and testing also needs to be performed. Automated scanners are good for the "low-hanging fruit" but not for certifying that a site is 'safe'.
