I think it's already mentioned..

But I find Achilles to be of the best MITM proxies.

Subject: Web Application Penetration Testing Tools

When performing penetration testing of web applications I have used a
minibrowser from www.aignes.com for a very long time.

This simple application allows me to browse a web application and easily see
links, form elements, cookies, a log of actual commands being sent back and
forth and more. The ability to manipulate cookies and form elements makes it
very useful.

Unfortunately, it's support as a web browser is limited so I can't test all
web applications (such as embeded scripts and frames).

Does anyone know of some other good tools for auditing web applications with
the ability to manipulate form data and cookies before being sent to the
server?

Preferably, I'm looking for something based on Windows that is browser based
(as opposed to proxy based) but am still open to all platforms and methods.
