Homepage: http://www.morningstarsecurity.com/research/whatweb

Usage: whatweb [options] <URLs>

TARGET SELECTION:
  <URLs>		Enter URLs, filenames or nmap-format IP ranges.
			Use /dev/stdin to pipe HTML directly
  --input-file=FILE, -i	Identify URLs found in FILE, eg. -i /dev/stdin

  --aggression, -a=LEVEL Set the aggression level. Default: 1
  Aggression levels are:
  1. Stealthy	Makes one HTTP request per target. Also follows redirects.
  2. Unused
  3. Aggressive	Can make a handful of HTTP requests per target. This triggers
  		aggressive plugins for targets only when those plugins are
  		identified with a level 1 request first.
  4. Heavy	Makes a lot of HTTP requests per target. Aggressive tests from
  		all plugins are used for all URLs.

HTTP OPTIONS:
  --user-agent, -U=AGENT Identify as AGENT instead of WhatWeb/0.4.8-dev.
  --header, -H		Add an HTTP header. eg "Foo:Bar". Specifying a default
			header will replace it. Specifying an empty value, eg.
			"User-Agent:" will remove the header.
  --follow-redirect=WHEN Control when to follow redirects. WHEN may be `never',
			`http-only', `meta-only', `same-site', `same-domain'
			or `always'. Default: always
  --max-redirects=NUM	Maximum number of contiguous redirects. Default: 10

AUTHENTICATION:
  --user, -u=<user:password> HTTP basic authentication
  Add session cookies with --header, e.g. --header "Cookie: SESSID=1a2b3c;"

			can optionally have a modifier, eg. + or -
			Examples: +/tmp/moo.rb,+/tmp/foo.rb
			title,md5,+./plugins-disabled/
			./plugins-disabled,-md5
			-p + is a shortcut for -p +plugins-disabled
  --info-plugins, -I=PLUGINS	Display detailed information for plugins.
			Optionally search with keywords in a comma delimited
			list.
  --grep, -g=STRING	Search for STRING in HTTP responses. Reports with a

			Examples: ":text=>'powered by abc'"
