Wapiti - A web application vulnerability scanner in Python.
SYNOPSISwapiti ROOT_URL [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Wapiti allows you to audit the security of your web applications.
It performs "black-box" scans, i.e. it does not study the source code
of the application but will scans the webpages of the deployed webapp,
looking for scripts and forms where it can inject data.
Once it gets this list, Wapiti acts like a fuzzer, injecting payloads
to see if a script is vulnerable.
OPTIONS-s, --start=URL
To specify an url to start with. This option can be called sev‐
eral times.
Wapiti will browse these links to fond more URLs even if the
specified link is not in the scope.
-x, --exclude=URL
To exclude an url from the scan (for example logout scripts).
This option can be called several times to exclude several URLs.
Wildcards (*) can be used in URLs as basic regex.
Example :
-x "http://server/base/?page=*&module=test"
or
-x http://server/base/admin/* to exclude a directory
-b, --scope=SCOPE
Set the scope of the scan:
page : to analyse only the page given as the root URL.
folder : to analyse all the URLs under the root URL
passed to Wapiti (default).
domain : to analyse all the links to the pages which are
in the same domain as the URL passed to Wapiti.
-p, --proxy=PROXY_URL
To specify a proxy. Currently supported proxies are HTTP and
HTTPS.
This option can be called twice to specify the HTTP and the
HTTPS proxies.
Example:
-p http://proxy:port/
-c, --cookie=COOKIE
To import cookies to use for the scan. The COOKIE file must be
in JSON format.
Cookies can be grabbed using the cookie.py and getcookie.py
utilities (net directory).
-t, --timeout=TIMEOUT
Set the timeout (maximum time in seconds to wait for the server
to send a response).
-a, --auth=LOGIN%PASSWORD
Set credentials for HTTP authentication ('%' is used as a sepa‐
rator).
--auth-method=METHOD
If the server requires an authentication, set the authentication
method to use.
Currently supported methods are (some require additional modules
to install):
basic
digest
kerberos
ntlm
-r, --remove=PARAM
Automatically remove the parameter PARAM (and its values) from
the URLs.
-n, --nice=LIMIT
Define a limit of URLs to browse with the same pattern (ie, the
maximum number of unique values for the same parameter).
Use this option to prevent endless loops during scan. LIMIT must
be greater than 0.
-m, --module=MODULE_OPTIONS
Set the modules (and HTTP methods for each module) to use for
attacks.
Prefix a module name with a dash to deactivate the related mod‐
ule.
To only browse the target (without sending any payloads), deac‐
tivate every module with -m "-all".
If you don't specify the HTTP methods, GET and POST will be
used.
Example:
-m "-all,xss:get,exec:post"
-i, --continue=FILE
This parameter indicates to Wapiti to resume the previous scan
saved in the specified XML status file.
The file name is optional, if it is not specified, Wapiti takes
the default file from the "scans" folder.
-k, --attack=FILE
This parameter indicates to Wapiti to resume the attacks without
scanning again, loading the scan status from the specified XML
status file.
The file name is optional, if it is not specified, Wapiti takes
the default file from the "scans" folder.
-u, --color
Use colors to highlight vulnerabilities and anomalies in output.
-v, --verbose=LEVEL
Set the verbosity level to LEVEL.
0: quiet (default), 1: print each URL, 2: print every attack.
-f, --format=TYPE
Set the format type for the report to TYPE. Currently supported
formats are :
json: Report in JSON format
html : Report in HTML format (default)
openvas : Report in OpenVAS XML format
txt : Report un plain text (UTF-8)
vulneranet: Report in VulneraNET XML format
xml : Report in XML format
-o, --output=FILE
Write the report to FILE.
If the selected report format is "html", this parameter will be
used as a directory name.
--verify-ssl=<0|1>
This parameter indicates whether Wapiti must check SSL certifi‐
cats.
Default is to verify certificates.
-h, --help
To print this usage message.
