The new features of Version 6.5 are:

• New Login Sequence Recorder, supports more authentication forms and web technologies.
• Session Auto Recognition module; the crawler will identify when a logged in session is invalided or expired and re-logins automatically.
• Actions drop down menu; for each highlighted node, the actions drop down menu is activated showing all possible functions.
• Much more JSP, Java and Tomcat checks and alerts

We also achieved the below major improvements with this version:

• Improved cookie management and session handling to support modern dynamic websites.
• Port Scanner and Network Alerts results appear as a separate node from the web alerts in the results view.
• Ability to import settings from Version 6 installation.
• Added Blind SQL injection timing test using MySQL’s sleep and MS SQL’s waitfor function.  This will help in discovering particular blind SQL injections that do not report a change on the page.
