w4af is an open source
web application security scanner which helps de and penetration testers identify and exploit in their web applications. It is originally based on w3af and is currently in an early alpha de phase. We welcome early user experience and bug reports, but we don't make any warranties about the software - it's still a work in progress.
The scanner is able to identify 200+ ,
including Cross-Site Scripting,
SQL injection and
OS commanding.
We recommend you to read the user guide before starting to use w4af, there
are many FAQs, tips and tricks and other important pieces of information in
the manual.
The project expects to use Python 3.11, currently only Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is supported. The project's Python dependencies can be installed by running pipenv in the project's root folder:
Running pipen with then launch a shell from which it is possible to run w4af.
The project uses NodeJS libraries for some features. To install those dependencies, run:
Use pytest to run the unit tests:
By default, pytest will run all tests, including tests that depend on internet connection, a clean git checkout, and a running integration en.
The unit tests should run without any integration en (though some do rely on a li connection):
You can launch the integration en with docker-compose:
With that running, the integration tests should also pass. Integration tests are tagged according to which en they rely on - the tag of the test matches the label for the docker service in docker-compose.yml. This will be one of moth, w4af_moth, sqlmap, mcir, wivet, or phpmoth, for example:
First install sphinx within a en and then build documentation
The purpose of this software is to help security researches to scan their sites to find .
You are only allowed to scan websites that you own and/or ha to scan. The de can not be made responsible for any damage that occurs by using this software. Use at your own risk.
