Web scanner that identifies website technologies
WPScan
WordPress security scanner for vulnerabilities
About WPScan
WPScan is a WordPress security scanner that checks sites for vulnerable plugins, themes, users, and configuration weaknesses. Because it is self-hosted, you decide where the data lives, who can access it, and how long it is kept, with no per-seat lock-in. Users who outgrow a hosted free tier often choose it to remove limits while keeping the same familiar workflow they already know.
