## What it is
A fast, Go-based CLI scanner for detecting web cache poisoning and web cache deception vulnerabilities. It supports many attack techniques, includes a crawler, adapts to the target cache, and integrates into CI/CD pipelines.

## Use cases
- scan a website for web cache poisoning vulnerabilities
- test for web cache deception attacks
- find unkeyed header and parameter poisoning in my CDN
- check if my site is vulnerable to request smuggling via cache
- integrate cache vulnerability scanning into CI/CD
- audit web cache security during a pentest
- crawl a site and test all URLs for cache flaws

## When to choose
- you need automated detection of web cache poisoning or deception across many techniques
- you want a fast CLI tool that fits into CI/CD or bug bounty workflows
- you need JSON reports and proxy support (e.g., Burp Suite) for security testing

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose web vulnerability scanner covering XSS, SQLi, etc.
- you want a GUI-based scanning tool
- you are not authorized to test the target site
