Web Application Vulnerability Scanner
Wapiti allows you to audit the security of your web applications
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 :
File disclosure (Local and remote include/require, fopen, readfile…) Web Application Vulnerability Scanner: Wapiti
Database Injection (PHP/JSP/ASP SQL Injections and XPath Injections)
XSS (Cross Site Scripting) injection (reflected and permanent)
Command Execution detection (eval(), system(), passtru()…)
CRLF Injection (HTTP Response Splitting, session fixation…)
XXE (XmleXternal Entity) injection
Use of know potentially dangerous files (thanks to the Nikto database)
Weak .htaccess configurations that can be bypassed
Presence of backup files giving sensitive information (source code disclosure)
Wapiti supports both GET and POST HTTP methods for attacks. It also supports multipart and can inject payloads in filenames (upload). Display a warning when an anomaly is found (for example 500 errors and timeouts) Makes the difference beetween permanent and reflected XSS vulnerabilities.wapiti_400
