How to install
JoomlaVS has so far only been tested on Debian, but the installation process should be similar across most operating systems.
- Ensure Ruby [2.0 or above] is installed on your system
- Clone the source code using
git clone https://github.com/rastating/joomlavs.git - Install bundler and required gems using
sudo gem install bundler && bundle install
How to use
The only required option is the -u / --url option, which specifies the address to target. To do a full scan, however, the --scan-all option should also be specified, e.g. ruby joomlavs.rb -u yourjoomlatarget.com --scan-all .
