AcuAutomate is an unofficial Acunetix CLI tool that simplifies automated pentesting and bug hunting across extensive targets. It’s a valuable aid during large-scale pentests, enabling the easy launch or stoppage of multiple Acunetix scans simultaneously. Additionally, its versatile functionality seamlessly integrates into enumeration wrappers or one-liners, offering efficient control through its pipeline capabilities.
Installation
git clone https://github.com/danialhalo/AcuAutomate.git
cd AcuAutomate
chmod +x AcuAutomate.py
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Configuration (config.json)
Before using AcuAutomate, you need to set up the configuration file config.json inside the AcuAutomate folder:
{
"url": "https://localhost",
"port": 3443,
"api_key": "API_KEY"
}
- The URL and PORT parameter is set to default acunetix settings, However this can be changed depending on acunetix configurations.
- Replace the API_KEY with your acunetix api key. The key can be obtained from user profiles at https://localhost:3443/#/profile
Usage
The help parameter (-h) can be used for accessing more detailed help for specific actions

usage: AcuAutomate.py [-h] {scan,stop} ...
Launch or stop a scan using Acunetix API
positional arguments:
{scan,stop} Action to perform
scan Launch a scan use scan -h
stop Stop a scan
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
Scan Actions
For launching the scan you need to use the scan actions:
xubuntu:~/AcuAutomate$ ./AcuAutomate.py scan -h
usage: AcuAutomate.py scan [-h] [-p] [-d DOMAIN] [-f FILE]
[-t {full,high,weak,crawl,xss,sql}]
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p, --pipe Read from pipe
-d DOMAIN, --domain DOMAIN
Domain to scan
-f FILE, --file FILE File containing list of URLs to scan
-t {full,high,weak,crawl,xss,sql}, --type {full,high,weak,crawl,xss,sql}
High Risk Vulnerabilities Scan, Weak Password Scan, Crawl Only,
XSS Scan, SQL Injection Scan, Full Scan (by default)
Scanning Single Target
The domain can be provided with -d flag for single site scan:
./AcuAutomate.py scan -d https://www.google.com
Scanning Multiple Targets
For scanning multiple domains the domains need to be added into the file and then specify the file name with -f flag:
./AcuAutomate.py scan -f domains.txt
Pipeline
The AcuAutomate can also worked with the pipeline input with -p flag:
cat domain.txt | ./AcuAutomate.py scan -p
This is Great ???? as it can enable the AcuAutomate to work with other tools. For example we can use the subfinder , httpx and then pipe the output to AcuAutomate for mass scanning with acunetix:
subfinder -silent -d google.com | httpx -silent | ./AcuAutomate.py scan -p
scan type
The -t flag can be used to define the scan type. For example the following scan will only detect the SQL vulnerabilities:
./AcuAutomate.py scan -d https://www.google.com -t sql
Note
AcuAutomate only accept the domains with http://
or https://
Stop Action
The stop action can be used for stoping the scan either with -d
flag for stoping scan by specifing the domain or with -a
flage for stopping all running scans.
xubuntu:~/AcuAutomate$ ./AcuAutomate.py stop -h
