# wapiti-getcookie(1)

A Wapiti utility to fetch cookies from a webpage and store them in the Wapiti JSON format.

## NAME

**wapiti-getcookie** - A Wapiti utility to fetch cookies from a webpage and store them in the Wapiti JSON format.

## SYNOPSIS

**wapiti-getcookie** -u *URL* -c *COOKIE* *options*

## DESCRIPTION

wapiti-getcookie is a user-friendly interactive console utility that can be used to fill a web-form or fetch an URL and extract the cookies sent by the remote server.\
 Cookie information are stored in the JSON cookie file you have to specify with the -c option.\
 Those cookies can be loaded by Wapiti using the same -c option.

## OPTIONS

- •

  **-p**, **--proxy** *PROXY\_URL*\
   The given URL will be used as a proxy for HTTP and HTTPS requests.\
   This URL can have one of the following scheme : http, https, socks.\
   To make Wapiti use a Tor listener you can use --proxy socks://127.0.0.1:9050/

- •

  **--tor**\
   Make Wapiti use a Tor listener (same as --proxy socks://127.0.0.1:9050/)

- •

  **-a**, **--auth-cred** *CREDENTIALS*\
   Set credentials to use for HTTP authentication on the target.\
   Given value should be in the form login%password (% is used as a separator)

- •

  **--auth-type** *TYPE*\
   Set the authentication mechanism to use. Valid choices are basic, digest, kerberos and ntlm.\
   Kerberos and NTLM authentication may require you to install additional Python modules.

- •

  **-H**, **--header** *HEADER*\
   Set a custom HTTM header to inject in every request sent by Wapiti. This option can be used several times.\
   Value should be a standard HTTP header line (parameter and value separated with a : sign).

- •

  **-A**, **--user-agent** *AGENT*\
   Default behavior of Wapiti is to use the same User-Agent as the TorBrowser, making it discreet when crawling standard website or .onion ones.\
   But you may have to change it to bypass some restrictions so this option is here.

- •

  **-d**, **--data** *DATA*\
   wapiti-getcookie will parse forms and ask your input for each field found.\
   But you can also pass every parameter and value as a string directly through this option.\
   Example: -d ´login=admin&password=letmein&submit=Login´
