Crawling with the Spider

Spidering builds upon the Setting project options section, and we’ll use this to crawl the OWASP Juice Shop proxy. Crawling with the Spider allows us to identify directories on in-scope applications.

ZAP will be able to provide better results to a user, allowing you to have a better understanding of a web application to perform a more complete, passive, and active scan.

Getting ready
