12AUTOMATING ARACHNI
Arachni is a powerful web application black-box security scanner written in Ruby. It features support for many types of web application vulnerabilities, including many of the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities (such as XSS and SQL injection); a highly scalable distributed architecture that allows you to spin up scanners in a cluster dynamically; and full automation through both a remote procedure call (RPC) interface and a representational state transfer (REST) interface. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to drive Arachni with its REST API and then with its RPC interface to scan a given URL for web application vulnerabilities.
