afrog is a high-performance vulnerability scanner that is fast and stable. It supports user-defined PoC and comes with several built-in types, such as CVE, CNVD, default passwords, information disclosure, fingerprint identification, unauthorized access, arbitrary file reading, and command execution. With afrog, network security professionals can quickly validate and remediate vulnerabilities, which helps to enhance their security defense capabilities.
$ go install -v https://github.com/zan8in/afrog/cmd/afrog@latest
```
## Running afrog
By default, afrog scans all built-in PoCs, and if it finds any vulnerabilities, it automatically creates an HTML report with the date of the scan as the filename.
```sh
afrog -t https://example.com
```
**Warning occurs when running afrog**
If you see an error message saying:
```
[ERR] ceye reverse service not set: /home/afrog/.config/afrog/afrog-config.yaml
```
it means you need to modify the [configuration file](https://github.com/zan8in/afrog/blob/main/README.md#configuration-file).
To execute a custom PoC directory, you can use the following command:
```sh
afrog -t https://example.com -P mypocs/
```
Use the command `-s keyword` to perform a fuzzy search on all PoCs and scan the search results. Multiple keywords can be used, separated by commas. For example: `-s weblogic,jboss`.
Use the command `-S keyword` to scan vulnerabilities based on their severity level. Severity levels include: `info`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, and `critical`. For example, to only scan high and critical vulnerabilities, use the command `-S high,critical`.
The first time you start afrog, it will automatically create a configuration file called `afrog-config.yaml`, which will be saved in the current user directory under `$HOME/.config/afrog/afrog-config.yaml`.
`reverse` is a reverse connection platform used to verify command execution vulnerabilities that cannot be echoed back. Currently, only ceye can be used for verification. To obtain ceye, follow these steps:
- Go to the [ceye.io](http://ceye.io/) website and register an account.
- Log in and go to the personal settings page.
- Copy the `domain` and `api-key` and correctly configure them in the `afrog-config.yaml` file.
Optional command: `-json``-j`, Save the scan results to a JSON file. The JSON file includes the following contents by default: `target`, `fulltarget`, `id`, and `info`. The info field includes the following sub-fields: `name`, `author`, `severity`, `description`, and `reference`. If you want to save both `request` and `response` contents, please use the [-json-all](https://github.com/zan8in/afrog/blob/main/README.md#jsonall) command parameter.
```sh
afrog -t https://example.com -json result.json
afrog -t https://example.com -j result.json
```
::: warning
The content of the JSON file is updated in real time. However, there is an important note to keep in mind: before the scan is completed, if developers want to parse the file content, they need to add a '`]`' symbol to the end of the file by themselves, otherwise it will cause parsing errors. Of course, if you wait for the scan to complete before parsing the file, this issue will not occur.
:::
### JsonAll
Optional command: `-json-all``-ja`, The only difference between the `-json-all` and `-json` commands is that `-json-all` writes all vulnerability results, including `request` and `response`, to a JSON file.
