Arachni v1.0 - Web Application Security Scanner Framework
Arachni is an Open Source, feature-full, modular, high-performance Ruby
framework aimed towards helping penetration testers and administrators
evaluate the security of web applications.
It is smart, it
trains itself by monitoring and learning from the web application's
behavior during the scan process and is able to perform meta-analysis
using a number of factors in order to correctly assess the
trustworthiness of results and intelligently identify (or avoid)
false-positives.
Unlike other scanners, it takes into account
the dynamic nature of web applications, can detect changes caused while
travelling through the paths of a web application’s cyclomatic
complexity and is able to adjust itself accordingly. This way,
attack/input vectors that would otherwise be undetectable by non-humans
can be handled seamlessly.
Moreover, due to its integrated
browser environment, it can also audit and inspect client-side code, as
well as support highly complicated web applications which make heavy use
of technologies such as JavaScript, HTML5, DOM manipulation and AJAX.
Finally, it is versatile enough to cover a great deal of use cases,
ranging from a simple command line scanner utility, to a global high
performance grid of scanners, to a Ruby library allowing for scripted
audits, to a multi-user multi-scan web collaboration platform.
