AppScan Standard - Import URLs extension

This library is an extension for HCL AppScan Standard.

It enables you to import into AppScan a text file containing a list of URLs. AppScan will explore these URLs as if you explored them manually yourself.

Installation

To install, the extension must be imported into AppScan Standard using the AppScan Extension Manager.

1. In AppScan Standard, go to Tools > Extensions > Extension Manager
2. Import the extension ImportUrls.zip using Add Extensions From: > This Computer
3. Restart AppScan Standard for the change to take effect.
4. Open Extension Manager.
5. Click "Trust" to trust the extension.

Usage

Once installed, you can access the extension using Tools > Extensions > Import URLs from file

Configuration:

• Input File: The file you want to import. Must be a text file with one URL or relative path per line.
• Base URL: If the list includes relative paths, add here the base URL for these paths.
• Use session cookies: If set, the extension will add session cookies from the scan configuration to each request. If there are no session cookies configured, this checkbox is disabled.

After configuring the extension, click Import to convert the list of URLs into a temporary EXD (EXplore Data) file and import it into AppScan. AppScan will then explore these URLs automatically. You can then decide whether to continue with a Test stage or more manual exploring.

Building

In order to build this extension, you must have AppScan Standard and 7-zip installed. If they are not installed in their default locations, you must edit their locations in ImportUrls.csproj.

The file ImportUrls.zip is automatically generated in the sub folder: \appscan-standard-import-urls\AppScanImportUrls\Output "# AppScan-Hello-world-Extension"
