WPScan – WordPress Security/Vulnerability Scanner

WPScan is a vulnerability scanner which checks the security of WordPress installations using a black box approach (scanning without any prior knowledge of what has been installed etc).
Features

• Username enumeration (from author querystring and location header)
• Weak password cracking (multithreaded)
• Version enumeration (from generator meta tag)
• Vulnerability enumeration (based on version)
• Plugin enumeration (2220 most popular by default)
• Plugin vulnerability enumeration (based on version) (todo)
• Plugin enumeration list generation
• Other misc WordPress checks (theme name, dir listing, …)

Requirements
WPScan requires two non native Ruby gems, typhoeus and xml-simple. It should work on both Ruby 1.8.x and 1.9.x.
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
sudo gem install –user-install typhoeus
sudo gem install –user-install xml-simple
The full README is available here.
