The Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is designed for web application security testing, with features specifically tailored to automatically discover vulnerabilities in web apps. One such feature is the active scanner, which probes for security weaknesses by sending modified requests to the application and analyzing the responses. It's important for test-takers to distinguish between various tool features and associate them with their correct functionalities.
