No, this is not a story about the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend, it's about web application testing.  I recently had a web application to assess, and I used Burp Suite Pro as part of that project.  Burp is one of my favourite tools to aim at a website, it does a lot of the up-front "test everything" grunt work for you so you can then focus on the details that are most important.
