A Python-based spider built on Scrapy that crawls a website and tests every link it finds for cross-site scripting (XSS) and basic SQL injection vulnerabilities. It supports login, HTTP Basic Auth, cookies, connection limits, and rate limiting, reporting findings to a text file.
Use cases
- scan a website for xss vulnerabilities
- crawl a site and detect sql injection errors
- test forms and url parameters for reflected xss
- authenticated vulnerability scanning with login or cookies
- rate-limited security spidering of a web app
When to choose
- you want a fast, automated XSS scanner for a web application
- you need a spider that also catches basic SQLi error-based issues
- you want a simple CLI tool with login/cookie support for scanning
When to avoid
- you need blind SQL injection detection or broad vulnerability coverage beyond XSS/SQLi
- you need an actively maintained tool with a license and modern support
- you need a GUI or CI-integrated DAST platform
