Module: Arachni::Check::Auditor

Included in:
Base
Defined in:
lib/arachni/check/auditor.rb

Overview

Included by Base and provides helper audit methods to all checks.

There are 3 main types of audit and analysis techniques available:

It should be noted that actual analysis takes place at the element level.

It also provides:

  • silent (Bool) (defaults to: false) —

    If false, a message will be printed to stdout containing the status of the operation.

  • block (Proc) —

Returns:

  • (Object) —
    • nil if no URL was provided.

#skip?(element) ⇒ Boolean

This is called right before an Element is audited and is used to determine whether to skip it or not.

Running checks can override this as they wish but at their own peril.

Parameters:

Returns:

#trace_taint(resource, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Traces the taint in the given resource and passes each page to the block.

Parameters:

  • resource (Page, String, HTTP::Response) —

    Resource to load and whose environment to trace, if given a String it will be treated it as a URL and will be loaded.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    See BrowserCluster::Jobs::TaintTrace accessors.

  • block (Block) —

    Block to handle each page snapshot. If the block returns a true value, further analysis will be aborted.
