1 WebScarab from OWASP
WebScarab is a great tool for proxying web connections, investigating the randomness of session IDs, and spidering web sites. It is best used on Web 1.0 systems.

2 Paros Proxy
Paros is another popular proxy for testing web applications.

3 Charles Proxy
Charles is a less well-known proxy for testing web applications, but it has a few features that make it worth noting: it is multiplatform (as WebScarab and Paros are), but it can do AJAX debugging of XML and JSON requests and responses and can show AMF: the contents of Flash Remoting / Flex Remoting. It is shareware, however, and requires a license.

4 Burp Suite
Another proxy tool, but also a good tool for invoking some of the NIST FIPS 140-2 tests. It gives you nice graphics and a flexible way to import data that your application generated and analyze it.
