AI Summary: Webanalyze is a performance-oriented tool written in Go that identifies technologies used by web applications by analyzing HTTP responses from specified hosts. Its primary use case is for security assessments and technology profiling, supporting bulk analysis of multiple hosts via input files and offering output in various formats such as CSV and JSON. Notable features include the ability to crawl links from a root page, search for subdomains, and download updated app definitions from the Wappalyzer repository.


README

webanalyze

This is a port of Wappalyzer in Go. This tool is designed to be performant and allows to test huge lists of hosts.

Because Wappalyzer removed the public access to their app definitions, webanalyze currently loads definitions from enthec.

Build

If you want to build for yourself:

$ go install -v github.com/rverton/webanalyze/cmd/webanalyze@latest
$ webanalyze -update # loads new technologies.json file from wappalyzer project
$ webanalyze -h
Usage of webanalyze:
  -apps string
        app definition file. (default "technologies.json")
  -crawl int
        links to follow from the root page (default 0)
  -host string
        single host to test
  -hosts string
        filename with hosts, one host per line.
  -output string
        output format (stdout|csv|json) (default "stdout")
  -search
        searches all urls with same base domain (i.e. example.com and sub.example.com) (default true)
  -silent
	    avoid printing header (default false)
  -update
        update apps file
  -worker int
        number of worker (default 4)

The -update flags downloads a current version of technologies.json from the wappalyzer repository to the current folder.
