Arachni Scanner

Requirement:

Windows 10 and Power Shell

"Arachni" Is A Tool That Allows You To Assess The Security Of "Web Applications". In Less Simple Terms, Arachni Is A High-Performance, Modular, Open Source Web Application Security "Scanner Framework".


It Is A System Which Started Out As An Educational Exercise And As A Way To Perform Specific Security Tests Against A Web Application In Order To "Identify", "Classify" And "Log Issues" Of "Security Interest". It Has Now Evolved Into An Infrastructure Which Can Reliably Perform Any Sort Of WebApp Related Security Audit And General Data Scraping.


Step 1:- Download And Install "Arachni Scanner".

Step 2:- "Extract And Navigate" To The Bin Folder Inside Arachni Folder.

 

 
Step 3:- Fire-Up The "Web Interface" By Executing The Following Command.
    .\arachni_web.bat
 



It Will Start The Local Server, "Copy The Link" And "Open" It In Any Browser:

    http://localhost:9292/

 

 
Step 4:- Start a Scan. Set The Target URL And click on "Go".

 


Step 5:- "Download The Report" In Multiple Formats From The Download Section.

 


Modules

Arachni Has Over 40 Audit (Active) And Recon (Passive) Modules Which Identify And Log Entities Of Security And Informational Interest. These Entities Range From "Serious Vulnerabilities" ("Code Injection"," XSS", "SQL Injection" And Many More) To Simple Data Scrapping ("E-Mail Addresses", "Client-Side Code Comments", Etc.).

An XSS Module Would Be An Audit Module Because It Needs To Send Input To The Web Application And Valuate The Output.

A Module That Looks For Common Directories, Like “Admin”, Is A Recon Module Because It Does Not Interact With The Web Application. The Same Applies For A Module That Scans The Web Application’s Pages For Visible E-Mail Addresses.The Difference Between The Two Types Is Purely Behavioral, Technically They Are The Same And They Share The Same API.

Plug-ins
Arachni Offers Plug-Ins To Help "Automate Several" Tasks Ranging From Logging-In To A Web Application To Performing "High-Level" Meta-Analysis By Cross-Referencing Scan Results With A Large Number Of Environmental Data.Via The Framework They Have Access To All Arachni Subsystems And Can Alter Or Extend Arachni’s Behavior On The Fly.Plug-Ins Run In Parallel To The Framework And Are Executed Right Before The Scan Process Starts.
