WP Sniffer

Will detect information about a WordPress site including

• Core version
• Plugins and their versions
• Theme in use and its version

Additional features include

• Can detect all plugins available on WordPress.org
• List of WordPress.org plugins are parsed into a CSV file for easy processing by other programs
• Comes with JSON and XML formatters
• Write your own formatters so you can fully control the output

The tests are enumerative so the results may not always be 100% accurate

Getting started

1. Install all required packages in requirements.txt using pip
2. Copy .env.sample, name it .env and update any values
3. Run the scan using ./wp_sniffer/wp_sniffer on screen instructions will guide you from there

Running a scan programatically

1. Import the scan manager from wp_sniffer.scan_manager import ScanManager
2. Call the run_all method passing the url to scan - eg ScanManager().run_all('http://my-wordpress-site.com')

Forking the repo and building

1. Fork the repo as normal and make any changes you'd like
2. To build run: python3 setup.py bdist_wheel NOTE: Your .env file is also built into the package not .env.sample
3. In your other python project you can install your fork by calling pip install LOCATION_OF_YOUR_setup.py_FILE_HERE --no-cache-dir

Creating your own formatter

1. Copy and paste one of the default formatters (either json.py or xml.py) found in the output_formatters directory
2. Make sure the file contains a format_output with one argument. The results argument will be a list of dictionaries. Whatever you return becomes the outputted result
3. Update the OUTPUT_FORMATTER variable in .env to the name of your new formatter file
