Description
Wapiti
Wapiti is a handy tool for finding security weaknesses in web apps. It searches for vulnerabilities like XSS, SQL and XPath injections, file inclusions, command execution, LDAP injections, and CRLF injections.
What Makes Wapiti Special?
This software is built using Python, which makes it quite powerful. Wapiti allows you to audit the security of your web applications easily.
How Does Wapiti Work?
Wapiti performs what we call "black-box" scans. This means it doesn’t look at the source code of your application. Instead, it scans the pages of your web app and checks out scripts and forms where it can inject data to test for weaknesses.
Kinds of Vulnerabilities Detected by Wapiti
Wapiti can spot various vulnerabilities:
- File Handling Errors (like local and remote include/require issues)
- Database Injection (including PHP/JSP/ASP SQL Injections and XPath Injections)
- XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) Injection
- LDAP Injection
- Command Execution detection (such as eval(), system(), passthru()...)
- CRLF Injection (which includes HTTP Response Splitting and session fixation...)
Punctual vs Permanent XSS Vulnerabilities
Wapiti is smart enough to tell the difference between punctual and permanent XSS vulnerabilities. It even gives you a warning every time it finds a script that allows HTTP uploads!
Error Handling with Wapiti
If a HTTP 500 error code pops up, that’s another warning from Wapiti. This is especially useful if you're dealing with ASP/IIS.
No Need for a Vulnerability Database!
The cool thing about Wapiti? It doesn’t rely on any vulnerability databases like Nikto does. Instead, it focuses on uncovering unknown vulnerabilities in your web applications.
User Interface Information
Please note: Currently, Wapiti doesn’t offer a graphical user interface (GUI), so you’ll need to use it through the terminal for now.
