Vocascan is a vulnerability scanner that helps in identifying security vulnerabilities in web applications. It can scan for SQL injection, XSS, and other web application vulnerabilities. In this tutorial, we will be learning how to install Vocascan on Kali Linux.
Before starting, you need to make sure that you have Kali Linux installed with root access. You also need to have Python 3 and pip3 installed on your system.
Open your web browser and go to the Vocascan website. Click on the Download
button and download the latest version of the package. Once the download is complete, extract the package using the following command:
tar -zxvf Vocascan-x.x.x.tar.gz
Before installing Vocascan, you need to install the required dependencies. Run the following command to install all the dependencies:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Vocascan requires a database to store the results of the scan. You can use either SQLite or MySQL as the database. In this tutorial, we will be using SQLite.
Create a new database using the following command:
sqlite3 vocascan_db.sqlite
Once you have created the database, run the following command to create the necessary tables:
python manage.py migrate
To start the server, run the following command:
python manage.py runserver
Once the server is up and running, you can access the Vocascan web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000
.
Before you start scanning for vulnerabilities, you need to configure some of the settings in the Vocascan web interface. Navigate to the Settings
page and configure the following settings:
DATABASES
option to sqlite3
.DATABASE_NAME
option to the name of the database you created in Step 3.BASE_URL
option to the URL of the web application you intend to scan.Finally, you can start scanning for vulnerabilities by navigating to the Scan
page and clicking on the Start Scan
button. Wait for the scan to complete, and you should see a report with any vulnerabilities found in the web application.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Vocascan on Kali Linux.
