webanalyze

Port of Wappalyzer (uncovers technologies used on websites) to automate mass scanning.

webanalyze

This is a port of Wappalyzer in Go. This tool is designed to be performant and allows to test huge lists of hosts.

[!NOTE] Because Wappalyzer removed the public access to their app definitions, webanalyze currently loads definitions from enthec.

Installation and usage

Precompiled releases

Precompiled releases can be downloaded directly here.

Build

If you want to build for yourself:

$ go install -v github.com/rverton/webanalyze/cmd/webanalyze@latest

Usage

$ webanalyze -update # loads new technologies.json file from wappalyzer project
$ webanalyze -h
Usage of webanalyze:
  -apps string
        app definition file. (default "technologies.json")
  -crawl int
        links to follow from the root page (default 0)
  -header value
        custom HTTP request header, repeatable (e.g. 'User-Agent: webanalyze')
  -host string
        single host to test
  -hosts string
        filename with hosts, one host per line.
  -output string
        output format (stdout|csv|json) (default "stdout")
  -search
        searches all urls with same base domain (i.e. example.com and sub.example.com) (default true)
  -silent
	    avoid printing header (default false)
  -update
        update apps file
  -worker int
        number of worker (default 4)

The -update flags downloads a current version of technologies.json from enthec.

Custom request headers can be supplied more than once:

$ webanalyze -host example.com -header "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" -header "Authorization: Bearer token"
