Analyzing a Website Structure
5.2.1
Starting the crawling process
Enter the start URL of the target website from where the crawler should start
the site traversal (e.g. http://testphp.acunetix.com/)
and click
on the Start
button.
The site structure will be displayed on the left hand side – for each directory
found, a node will be created together with sub nodes for each file. At the end
of the scan, the site crawler
will create a Cookies Node
which displays
information about the cookies found.
5.2.2
Analyzing the information collected by the crawler
Clicking on any of the pages or items on the left hand side, will display details
about that object in the right hand pane. Since there is considerable
information, the details pane has been split up into the Info, Referrers, HTTP
headers, Inputs, View Page and HTML analysis tabs
as shown in the
screenshot below.
5.2.3
Info Tab
Screenshot 54 - Info Page
The info tab contains Filename, Page title, Path, URL and other information.
It shows how many inputs the page can take in ‘Input variable count’.
The crawl process for large sites might take considerable time –
up to several hours
for very large sites).
