Enhancement to support new CVE notation [issue 37). Can now report minor issues (notices) besides anomalies and vulnerabilities. Added mod_delay module to report time consuming webpages. Renamed some options (should be easier to remember). More exec, file, xss payloads. Fixed a bug with JSON cookie management for IPv6 addresses and custom ports. XSS attack module can escape HTML comments for payload generation. Fixed -r issue on URLs having only one parameter. No SSL/TLS check by default (--verify-ssl behavior). Added a Mutator class for easy payload injection in parameters. Rewrote report generators, added Mako as a dependency for HTML reports. Less JS. Crash report are send to a website, opt-out with --no-bugreport. Improvements on backup, sql and exec modules submitted by Milan Bartos.

Added a JSON report generator + fixed the HTML report generator. Added an option to not check SSL certificates. mod_xss : noscipt tag escaping. Can work on parameters that don't have a value in query string. mod_crlf is not activated by default anymore (must call it with -m). Startings URLs (-s) will be fetched even if out of scope. Proxy support for wapiti-getcookie. and wapiti-cookie. Attempt to bring an OpenVAS report generator. Added an home-made SWF parser to extract URLs from flash files.

Modifier getcookie.py and cookie.py so they try to get the cookies even if cookielib fails. 27/03/2007 Updated ChangeLogs 26/03/2009 Fixed bug ID 2433127. Comparison was made with HTTP error codes on numeric values but httplib2 return the status code as a string. Forbid httplib2 to handle HTTP redirections. Wapiti and lswww will take care of this (more checks on urls...) Fixed a bug with Blind SQL attacks (the same attack could be launched several times) Fixed an error in blindSQLPayloads.txt. Changed the error message when Wapiti don't get any data from lswww.

HTTP authentification now works. Added the option -n (or --nice) to prevent endless loops during scanning. More patterns for SQL vulnerability detection Code refactoring : more clear and more object-oriented New XSS function is now fully implemented The payloads have been separated from the code into configuration files. Updated BeautifulSoup 15/09/2008 Version 1.1.7-alpha Use GET method if not specified in "method" tag Keep an history of XSS payloads New XSS engine for GET method using a list of payloads to bypass filters New module HTTP.py for http requests Added fpassthru to file handling warnings Added a new new detection string for MS-SQL, submitted by Joe McCray 28/01/2007 Version 1.1.6 New version of lswww 24/10/2006 Version 1.1.5 Wildcard exclusion with -x (--exclude) option 22/10/2006 Fixed a typo in wapiti.py (setAuthCreddentials : one 'd' is enough) Fixed a bug with set_auth_credentials. 07/10/2006 Version 1.1.4 Some modifications have been made on getccokie.py so it can work on Webmin (and probably more web applications) Added -t (--timeout) option to set the timeout in seconds Added -v (--verbose) option to set the verbosity. Three available modes : 0: only print found vulnerabilities 1: print current attacked urls (existing urls) 2: print every attack payload and url (very much information... good for debugging) Wapiti is much more modular and comes with some functions to set scan and attack options... look the code ;) Some defaults options are available as "modules" with option -m (--module) : GET_XSS: only scan for XSS with HTTP GET method (no post) POST_XSS: XSS attacks using POST and not GET GET_ALL: every attack without POST requests 12/08/2006 Version 1.1.3 Fixed the timeout bug with chunked responses (ID = 1536565 on SourceForge) 09/08/2006 Version 1.1.2 Fixed a bug with HTTP 500 and POST attacks 05/08/2006 Version 1.1.1 Fixed the UnboundLocalError due to socket timeouts (bug ID = 1534415 on SourceForge) 27/07/2006 Version 1.1.0 with urllib2 Detection string for mysql_error() Changed the mysql payload (see http://shiflett.org/archive/184 ) Modification of the README file 22/07/2006 Added CRLF Injection. 20/07/2006 Added LDAP Injection and Command Execution (eval, system, passthru...) 11/07/2006 -r (--remove) option to remove parameters from URLs Support for Basic HTTP Auth added but don't work with Python 2.4.
