INSTALL

Prerequisites

• (Optional but highly recommended: RVM)
• Ruby >= 2.3 - Recommended: latest
  • Ruby 2.5.0 to 2.5.3 can cause an 'undefined symbol: rmpd_util_str_to_d' error in some systems, see #1283
• Curl >= 7.21 - Recommended: latest
  • The 7.29 has a segfault
• RubyGems - Recommended: latest

From RubyGems (Recommended)
On MacOSX, if a Gem::FilePermissionError is raised due to the Apple's System Integrity Protection (SIP), either install RVM and install wpscan again, or run sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin wpscan (see #1286)

From sources (NOT Recommended)
Prerequisites: Git

Updating
You can update the local database by using wpscan --update
Updating WPScan itself is either done via gem update wpscan or the packages manager (this is quite important for distributions such as in Kali Linux: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade) depending how WPScan was (pre)installed

Docker
Pull the repo with docker pull wpscanteam/wpscan

Usage
wpscan --url blog.tld This will scan the blog using default options with a good compromise between speed and accuracy. For example, the plugins will be checked passively but their version with a mixed detection mode (passively + aggressively). Potential config backup files will also be checked, along with other interesting findings. If a more stealthy approach is required, then wpscan --stealthy --url blog.tld can be used. As a result, when using the --enumerate option, don't forget to set the --plugins-detection accordingly, as its default is 'passive'.
For more options, open a terminal and type wpscan --help (if you built wpscan from the source, you should type the command outside of the git repo)
The DB is located at ~/.wpscan/db
WPScan can load all options (including the --url) from configuration files, the following locations are checked (order: first to last):

• ~/.wpscan/cli_options.json
• ~/.wpscan/cli_options.yml
• pwd/.wpscan/cli_options.json
• pwd/.wpscan/cli_options.yml

If those files exist, options from them will be loaded and overridden if found twice.
e.g:
~/.wpscan/cli_options.yml:
pwd/.wpscan/cli_options.yml:
Running wpscan in the current directory (pwd), is the same as wpscan -v --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9090 --url http://target.tld
