Automation
Arachni is a fully automated system which tries to enforce the fire and forget principle. As soon as a scan is started it will not bother you for anything nor require further user interaction.Upon completion, you will be able to export the scan results to several different formats (HTML, Plain Text, XML, etc.).

Flexibility
The system allows for multiple deployment options ranging from a Ruby library for highly customized scripted scans, to a simple single-user single-scan command line interface, to a multi-user multiple/parallel-scan distributed deployment, to a global High Performance Grid deployment for lightning fast scans.
