Description-en: framework to find and exploit web application vulnerabilities (CLI only)
w3af is a Web Application Attack and Audit Framework which aims
to identify and exploit all web application vulnerabilities.
.
This package provides a command line interface (CLI) only. The graphical user
interface (GUI) is provided by the package w3af.
.
The framework has been called the "metasploit for the web", but it's actually
much more than that, because it also discovers the web application
vulnerabilities using black-box scanning techniques!
.
The w3af core and it's plugins are fully written in Python. The project has
more than 130 plugins, which identify and exploit SQL injection, cross site
scripting (XSS), remote file inclusion and more.
