Hi,
the security scanner is first of all a crawler. It could run into the pages of a drupal installation and perform multiple tasks.
The first use of it was about security, we used that to seed patterns inside a form and to find if these patterns were not checked by drupal filters. I developed it with this intent, but while developing I see that everyone could use it to run other tasks, simpy changing some lines of code. Other task could be search for other patterns (moderation?) or something other.
In this thread we could talk about its possibile future use and, if the crawler will be a new self entity, we could talk about making it a new module and reorganize all.

Hi Chris,
Here is the project page:
http://drupal.org/project/security_scanner
The crawler has a function callback that enable users doing what they want on every page of the website. That's because I opened this thread, what could be useful to do into that function?
This crawler was developed for security, and right now i use it for seeding xss pattern into every form
But we could do more, we only need a direction and starts coding to extend its functionality.
So the only thruth right now is:
I have something that runs every page of my drupal installation.
And the only question is:
What can i do with it?
hello,everyone
hi,are you all ok?
