Rapidscan is a web application vulnerability scanner built on Python that has several functionalities. This tool’s main objective is to detect all vulnerabilities through automation by running various scanning programmes to discover flaws. Because it runs several scanning technologies. It can effectively judge false positives and correlate data collectively, all under one roof.
The RapidScan interface is quite similar to Metasploit 1 and Metasploit 2, both of which use a command-line interface with Kali Linux. Use this tool to obtain information about your target (domain), whether it is a website or an IP address.
