Instead of Wapiti
Wapiti alternatives
Wapiti suits security work that needs a free, open-source command-line scanner for websites and web applications. It crawls pages, tests scripts and forms with injected payloads, supports authenticated areas and REST APIs from OpenAPI files, and checks issues such as SQL injection, XSS, SSRF, command execution, file disclosure, and TLS misconfiguration. Reports can be exported as HTML, XML, JSON, TXT, CSV, or Markdown. Linux, macOS, Windows through WSL, and self-hosted use are supported, with installation through pip and Python 3.12–3.14.

An alternative may fit better if your team wants a graphical interface, browser-based workflow, CI automation, continuous monitoring, wider asset discovery, or SaaS delivery. Wapiti is free, while some options charge monthly fees or require a sales quote. Its scans can also cause malfunctions, crashes, or data loss, so authorized use matters. Compare how each product handles APIs, authentication, reporting, deployment, validation, business-logic testing, and external assets before switching.
