History

ZAP was originally forked from Paros which was developed by Chinotec Technologies Company.[2] Simon Bennetts, the project lead, stated in 2014 that only 20% of ZAP's source code was still from Paros.[3]

The first release was announced on Bugtraq in September 2010, and became an OWASP project a few months later.[4][5] In 2023, ZAP developers moved to the Linux Foundation, where they became a part of the Software Security Project.[6][7][8] As of September 24, 2024, all of the main developers joined Checkmarx as employees and ZAP was rebranded as ZAP by Checkmarx.[9]

ZAP was listed in the 2015 InfoWorld Bossie award for The best open source networking and security software.[10]
