History of Web Application Security

For more than a decade now individuals and organizations have been trying to address web application security in many ways. Some built scanners to automate the application security assessment process, others built web application firewalls to try and block the attacks from reaching their destination in the first place. Regardless of the motivations or innovations, there have been a lot of web application security products over the years. This is my attempt to keep a running record of that history.
