-TestREx is a system for building repeatable exploits main features include the following:
   * Packing and running web applications with their software environments
   * Injecting scripted exploits and monitoring the results of their execution
   * Generating reports with successes/failures of the exploits
   * A corpus of sample applications and exploits is provided for the demonstration purposes
