Scanning is a set of methods for distinguishing live hosts, ports, and services, discovering the Operating system and architecture of the target system, Identifying vulnerabilities and threats in the target application. This process can be performed with the help of various scanners like Nmap, which is used to discover almost every information about the target like ports, OS Details, Firewalls, etc.
WebMap is an automated tool developed in the Python Language which automated the process of Scanning by including Nmap, Nikto, Dirsearch as the core components of the tool. The tester only has to specify the options and the target URL, the rest of the work is done by the WebMap tool. WebMap tool is available on the GitHub platform, it’s free and open-source to use.
