+Dynamic application security testing (DAST) represents a non-functional testing process to identify security weaknesses and
+vulnerabilities in applications. The testing process can be carried out manually or be automated. Manual assessment of an
+application involves human intervention to identify security flaws which might slip from an automated tool. Usually
+business logic errors, race condition checks, and certain zero-day vulnerabilities can only be identified using manual
+assessments.
+
+### 6.2.1 DAST tools
+
+DAST tools are programs which communicates with a web application through the web front-end in order to identify potential
+security vulnerabilities in the web application and architectural weaknesses. It performs a black-box test. Unlike static
+application security testing tools, DAST tools do not have access to the source code and therefore detect vulnerabilities
+by actually performing attacks.
+
+#### Different DAST tools
+
+The OWASP Community projects contains a [list of DAST tools][dast] can be used to conduct DAST. All of these tools have
+their own strengths and weaknesses. If you are interested in the effectiveness of DAST tools, check out the
+[OWASP Benchmark][benchmark] project, which attempts to scientifically measure the effectiveness of all types of
+vulnerability detection tools, including DAST.
+
+#### Why use it?
+
+The big advantage of these types of tools are that they can scan year-round to be constantly searching for vulnerabilities.
+With new vulnerabilities being discovered regularly this allows companies to find and patch vulnerabilities before they
+can become exploited.
+
+#### Cons
+
+Because these tools does dynamic testing, it cannot cover 100% of the source code of the application and then, the
+application itself. The penetration tester should look at the coverage of the web application or of its attack surface to
+know if the tool was configured correctly or was able to understand the web application.
