Package: zap-cli-v2
ZAP CLI V2A commandline tool that wraps the OWASP ZAP API for controlling ZAP and
executing quick, targeted attacks.This is a fork ofhttps://github.com/Grunny/zap-cli, which is not currently maintained. It has been updated for the sole purpose of fixing a dependency issue.InstallationTo install the latest release from PyPI, you can run the following command:pip install --upgrade zap-cli-v2To install the latest development version of ZAP CLI, you can run the
following:pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/kmcquade/zap-cli-v2.gitTo install ZAP CLI for development, including the dependencies needed
in order to run unit tests, clone this repository and usepip install-e.[dev].UsageTo use ZAP CLI, you need to set the port ZAP runs on (defaults to 8090) and
the path to the folder in which ZAP is installed. These can be set either as
commandline parameters or with the environment variablesZAP_PORTandZAP_PATH. If you have an API key set for ZAP, this can likewise be set
either as a commandline parameter or with theZAP_API_KEYenvironment
variable.ZAP CLI can then be used with the following commands:Usage: zap-cli [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Commands:

  spider       Run the spider against a URL.
  start        Start the ZAP daemon.
  status       Check if ZAP is running.You can use--helpwith any of the subcommands to get information on how to use
them.Getting started running a scanIn order to run a scan, you can use either theactive-scanor thequick-scancommand. Theactive-scanonly runs an active scan against a URL that is already
in ZAP’s site tree (i.e. has already been opened using theopen-urlcommand or
found by running thespider). Thequick-scancommand is intended to be a way
to run quick scans of a site with most options contained within a single command
(including being able to start and shutdown ZAP before and after), so you can do
everything in one go. Without any other options passed to the command,quick-scanwill open the URL to make sure it’s in the site tree, run an active scan, and will
output any found alerts.As an example, to run a quick scan of a URL that will open and spider the URL, scan
recursively, exclude URLs matching a given regex, and only use XSS and SQLi scanners,
you could run:$ zap-cli quick-scan -s xss,sqli --spider -r -e "some_regex_pattern" http://127.0.0.1/

[INFO]            Shutting down ZAP daemonExtra start optionsYou can also pass extra options to the start command of ZAP using--start-optionsor-owith commands that allow it. For example, to start ZAP with a custom API key you could use:$ zap-cli start --start-options '-config api.key=12345'Or to run a self-contained quick scan (that will start ZAP and shut it down after the scan
is complete) with a custom API key, you could use:$ zap-cli --api-key 12345 quick-scan --self-contained -o '-config api.key=12345' -s xss http://127.0.0.1/Or to run the same scan with the API key disabled:$ zap-cli quick-scan -sc -o '-config api.disablekey=true' -s xss http://127.0.0.1/Running scans as authenticated usersIn order to run a scan as an authenticated user, first configure the authentication method and users for
a context using the ZAP UI (see theZAP help pagefor more information). Once the authentication method and users are prepared, you can then export the context
with the configured authentication method so it can be imported and used to run authenticated scans with ZAP CLI.You can export a context with the authentication method and users configured either through the ZAP UI or using thecontext exportZAP CLI command. For example, to export a context with the name DevTest to a file, you could run:$ zap-cli context export --name DevTest --file-path /home/user/DevTest.contextTo import the saved context for use with ZAP CLI later, you could run:$ zap-cli context import /home/user/DevTest.contextAfter importing the context with the configured authentication method and users, you can then provide the context name
and user name to thespider,active-scan, andquick-scancommands to run the scans while authenticated as
the given user. For example:$ zap-cli context import /home/user/DevTest.context
$ zap-cli open-url "http://localhost/"
$ zap-cli spider --context-name DevTest --user-name SomeUser "http://localhost"
$ zap-cli active-scan --recursive -c DevTest -u SomeUser "http://localhost"
$ zap-cli quick-scan --recursive --spider -c DevTest -u SomeUser "http://localhost"
