I have started contributing to the Oedipus Web App Vulnerability Scanner project on Rubyforge. The project is progressing pretty fast - there is a GUI in CVS, and a lot of functionality going into the project in the near future.
I am working on less common HTTP methods, and plugins testing permissions on directories for stuff like HTTP PUT and WebDAV. You don't find them often, but when they are there they can be devastating from a defacement point of view. More details coming soon ...
