Security Issues

What technologies (J2EE, .NET, PHP) can Wapiti test?

Wapiti can scan any web site because it makes black-box testes.

Usage

Is Wapiti difficult to install?

Absolutely not, you only have to extract a compress file in the folder that you want and the application is ready to be executed.

Will Wapiti work in my operative system?

Yes, Wapiti is platform-independent. It is written in Python so supports all the operating system that Python supports (most of them): Windows, Linux, Mac Os, etc.

Why should I have to install more Python libraries?

Unfortunately, the html parsers module within Python only works with well formated html pages so lswww fails to extract informations from bad-coded webpages.
Tidy can clean these webpages on the fly for us so lswww will give pretty good results. In order to make Wapiti far more efficient, you should install the following applications :

• HTML Tidy Library
  
• ctypes module
  
• uTidylib - Tidylib Python wrapper
