Arachni Scan is a security scanner designed to identify vulnerabilities and security issues in web applications.

Auditor Job Name: Arachni Auditor image: registry.gitlab.com/whitespots-public/security-images/arachni:1.5.1 AppSec Portal Importer Name: Arachni Scan

It utilizes a combination of black-box scanning techniques and a comprehensive set of built-in checks to assess the security posture of web applications.

One of the notable features of Arachni is its ability to crawl and scan web applications in a way that mimics the behavior of a real user. This allows the scanner to detect vulnerabilities that would not be visible through a standard scan. Arachni also has the ability to identify vulnerabilities in various technologies and programming languages including PHP, Ruby on Rails, and Java.
