Wapiti

Web application vulnerability scanner / security auditor


Presentation

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.

Wapiti can detect the following vulnerabilities :

Wapiti is able to differentiate ponctual and permanent XSS vulnerabilities.
Wapiti prints a warning everytime 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. 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.
Here is an exemple of output against a vulnerable web application.
Take a look at the README file.

-r <parameter_name>
--remove <parameter_name>
	Remove a parameter from URLs

-n <limit>
--nice <limit>
  Define a limit of urls to read with the same pattern
