wpscan: Scan a WordPress website, collecting vulnerability data from the WPVulnDB (https://wpvulndb.com/).
$ wpscan --url ${url} --api-token ${token}
try on your machine
The command "wpscan --url ${url} --api-token ${token}" is used to run a security scan on a WordPress website using the WPScan tool. Let's break it down:
- "wpscan" is the command to execute the WPScan tool.
- "--url ${url}" specifies the URL of the WordPress website you want to scan. The "${url}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual URL you want to scan.
- "--api-token ${token}" is an optional parameter that allows you to provide an API token for the WPScan API. This token can be obtained by creating an account on the WPScan website and generating an API token. The "${token}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual API token you have.
By running this command with the correct URL and API token, WPScan will initiate a scan on the specified WordPress website, checking for any vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or potential security issues. The scan results will be displayed in the terminal, helping you identify and address any security risks in your WordPress site.
