mzap

mzap is a Crystal CLI for multi-target ZAP scanning. It dispatches targets across one or more ZAP API hosts, supports optional wait mode, and can export reports.

Features

• Multiple scan commands: spider, ajaxspider, ascan
• Multi-host dispatch with round-robin scheduling
• Optional wait/poll mode with timeout support
• Report export (html/pdf) with fallback behavior
• Stop commands for spider, ajaxspider, ascan, or all
• Optional config loading from $HOME/.config/mzap/config.toml and legacy paths

Requirements

• Crystal >= 1.19.1
• A running ZAP API endpoint (or endpoints)

Examples

# spider scan with two ZAP API hosts
mzap spider --urls samples/target.txt --apis http://localhost:8090,http://192.168.0.4:8090

# run scan, wait for completion, and generate an HTML report
mzap spider --urls samples/target.txt --apis http://localhost:8090 --wait --report-format html --report-out reports/mzap.html

# stop all running scan types
mzap stop all --apis http://localhost:8090

Config

mzap automatically loads config when present. Priority is:

1. Explicit --config path (if it exists)
2. $HOME/.config/mzap/config.toml
3. $HOME/.config/mzap/config + extension variants
4. $HOME/.mzap + extension variants

CLI flags always override config values.

[mzap]
apis = ["http://localhost:8090", "http://192.168.0.4:8090"]
apikey = "your-zap-api-key"
urls = "samples/target.txt"
wait = true
wait_interval = 2
wait_timeout = 0
report_format = "html"
report_out = "reports/mzap.html"
