sQuo Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Wapiti is a vulnerability scanner for web applications. It currently search vulnerabilities like XSS, SQL and XPath injections, file inclusions, command execution, LDAP injections, CRLF injections... It uses the Python programming language. 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 it will scan 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. Wapiti can detect the following vulnerabilities: File Handling Errors (Local and remote include/require, fopen, readfile...) Database Injections (PHP/JSP/ASP SQL Injections and XPath Injections) XSS (Cross Site Scripting) Injection LDAP Injection Command Execution detection (eval(), system(), passtru()...) CRLF Injection (HTTP Response Splitting, session fixation...) Wapiti is able to differentiate punctual and permanent XSS vulnerabilities. Wapiti prints a warning every time it founds a script allowing HTTP uploads. A warning is also issued when a HTTP 500 code is returned (useful for ASP/IIS) Wapiti does not rely on a vulnerability database like Nikto do, although it integrates its database as a type of attack since the version 2.2.1 Wapiti aims to discover unknown vulnerabilities in web applications. It does not provide a GUI for the moment and you must use it from a terminal. Wapiti is able to create complete reports that include all the found vulnerabilities and related information in order to help to fix them. Take a look at the README file.
