Now, I want to point out that you're probably looking at my site, my web page, and you're like,
wait a second.
I thought we were going to talk about Aracne.
Yet you're talking about code name Aschner.
Well, there's a reason why that in 2020, Carly stopped providing Aracne in their repository, meaning
that in order to get it, you had to actually go off and download it simultaneously.
Shortly after that, Aracne had a name change with a new product launch called code name Aschner.
Now, Sisa specifically mentions Aracne, but the developers of Aracne have changed it over to code
name Aschner.
Thus, you're looking at code name Aschner.
Um, for the exam, you need to realize that Aracne and code name Aschner are exactly the same.
They do a lot of the same things.
Um, they're actually identical.
So you really don't have to worry about it too much.
Just realize that if they update the exam to a newer version, they may replace the name of arachnid
to code name, scanner or scanner for short.
Stands for scanner.
Uh, in which case you need to be aware of that.
As far as the usability goes, we're going to show you the newer version, which is code name scanner,
just because it makes sense since arachnid has been officially retired for a little bit now.
So we're going to show you that now you'll notice that right off the bat, I have actually got the command
to install, uh, our, our code name scanner.
I almost called it arachnid.
Right.
Um, and it's right there to find it.
You're just going to go to the website if you type in Arachne.
A matter of fact, I'll show you.
Right.
So if I type in Arachne right there in Google, we get off the caps and then I scroll down to this website
x y.
No, that's the, uh, developer's name.
And I click on that.
You can see that it provides me to their website and it says, hey, it's been replaced.
Just type in that and then you can try now.
And it brings us right to this website.
So I'm going to grab that.
We're going to copy it.
We're going to go to our handy dandy terminal.
We blow this up and I'm going to paste it right there.
Don't need to ask the sudo to it.
And then I'll just hit the space bar until it goes down.
But basically the license process, you can read that on your own time.
Uh, at the very bottom you have to type in I agree.
Now make sure that you're doing it in all caps, because if you don't, then it's not going to install
properly.
It'll just take you to the to the next line and you'll be like oh, it installed.
No, no it didn't.
Yours should look exactly like mine is right now where it's downloading the information.
So this is going to take a minute to get to the point where it's usable.
So we'll see you in a few seconds after this is done.
Okay.
So now it's asking for a license key which means now we have to actually register it.
So in order to register it we're going to go to bottom right here and we have to do community edition.
We're going to do one.
I'm going to add that to the cart.
And then I have to check out okay.
And then you can follow along throughout this.
Once you're done registering your product you'll see this button of access digital products.
You need to click on that.
That'll open up a new web page.
And then you're just going to press the copy button.
We can close that down now.
And then we just right click and paste it in there.
Now the basic version, the paywall really does limit our capabilities with this.
So this is actually going to be quite a short video, but we're going to go through it nonetheless.
So I'm going to open up that terminal.
And again I've got chapter two running in the background to kind of provide us some availability to
actually run a scan against a target that is actually a server.
So in order to run it, I'm going to do a dot forward slash, and then I'm going to type in scanner.
If I do a tab, I should be able to get the actual program that I want to run.
In this case the scanner version 10.4.12 and then forward slash bin.
And then I need to type in scanner.
And then I need to actually identify the website that I want to hit.
Now in my case I'm going to actually hit my Catapterix two which is at https forward slash forward slash
10.0.2.5.
I'm going to hit enter and it's going to run a scan against us.
Now here's the problem with this entire program for their newest version, the Community Edition, which
is the free edition that we're using.
It does provide us a scan, and it does provide some results, which I'll show you in a second.
However, there is no reporting, uh, attached with this.
So it is very limited in its capabilities of what it can and cannot do.
And matter of fact, it's not even, in my opinion, really useful at all as a scanning agent.
And again, this is one of those tools that I question why CompTIA would provide this in their in their
tool subset, uh, for CSA.
But it is what it is.
Right.
So we go through we've got our plug in data, we've got our health map.
And then we've got our issues with a plus sign no issues.
And with the minus sign it has issues.
And the free version of Arachne slash codename SVR does provide us and tell us that we have issues.
It's right there.
It tells us we have issues.
It doesn't tell us what those issues are, but it tells us those have issues.
And then it tells us that it's reported.
But you can access the report on the community edition so you can actually get to it because it doesn't
actually save a report.
There's no report there.
Matter of fact, I'll show you.
If I go to the file structure, I'm going to open the folder.
Here's Kendrick right here.
I can go to the scanner.
That's it right there.
And there is literally not even a reports folder because reports aren't available in the community edition.
So again, kind of a I don't want to say useless tool, but there's so many better tools out there that
I would utilize over this one.
And so at zero failed jobs it tells us how long.
But this is the limit of this tool of Arachne.
However.
However, if you use the paid version, if you unlock the paid version, then you can go through.
And not only does it have a web interface that you could utilize, it has other availabilities that
you can utilize as well.
Um, and it has a reporting structure and everything else.
So again in here.
So that's Arachne slash codename scanner as always.
Thank you very much and have a great one.
We'll see you next time.
