You need to define a scope (perhaps one has been defined for you
already) and stay within scope. If there is something interesting
slightly outside of it; make a quick note (in case you want to come
back to it and move on).

WASP security guide, Paros proxy, Charles proxy (not free), Burp
proxy, Notepad++, a scripting language of your choice. Depends on what
you are doing...

Google? Or ask the guy who has assigned you to the project.

As much as you generate with those best free tools of yours.

perhaps you are not the best person for the task?
