These additional options provide control over Wapiti’s behavior, updates, and external integrations.

General Options

  • --no-bugreport
    By default, when an attack module fails, Wapiti automatically sends a bug report to help improve the software. This option disables that feature if you prefer not to send reports.
    Example:

    wapiti -u "http://target.com" --no-bugreport
  • --update
    This option updates Wapiti’s attack modules to the latest available version, then exits. No scan will be performed.
    Example:

    wapiti --update
  • --version
    Displays the current version of Wapiti and exits without performing a scan.
    Example:

    wapiti --version

Wappalyzer Integration Options

Wapiti can use Wappalyzer, a tool that detects technologies used by the target website. The following options allow customization of Wappalyzer’s update behavior.

  • --wapp-url WAPP_URL
    Use this option to provide a custom URL for updating the Wappalyzer database, rather than the default URL.
    Example:

    wapiti -u "http://target.com" --wapp-url "http://custom-wapp-db.com"
  • --wapp-dir WAPP_DIR
    This option specifies a custom directory where Wapiti should store or update the Wappalyzer database files.
    Example:

    wapiti -u "http://target.com" --wapp-dir "/path/to/custom/wappalyzer_db"
