Adding a new capability#

By design, webscan breaks every unique network scan into its own top level command. If you are looking to add a brand new capability to the tool, you can take the following steps.

  1. Add a file to cmd/ that corresponds to the sub-command name you'd like to add to the webscan CLI
  2. You can use cmd/discover.go as a template
  3. Your file needs to be a member function of the webscan struct and should be of the form Init<cmd>Command
  4. Add a new member to the webscan struct in cmd/root.go that corresponsds to your command name. Remember, the first letter must be capitalized.
  5. Call your Init function from main.go
  6. Add logic to your commands runtime and put it in its own package within internal (e.g., internal/app)
