<p>Let me help you a little bit over here. This is how you use the proxy plugin from CLI<br>
1. Don't forget to pass this parameter in command line<br>
--plugin=proxy:port=8080,bind_address=127.0.0.1 you can choose whatever you want host and port numbers</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Start the scanning. You should see message<br>
[*] Proxy: Listening on: <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8080">http://127.0.0.1:8080</a> [~] Proxy: Control panel URL: <a href="http://arachni.proxy/panel">http://arachni.proxy/panel</a> [~] Proxy: Shutdown URL: <a href="http://arachni.proxy/shutdown">http://arachni.proxy/shutdown</a> [~] Proxy: The scan will resume once you visit the shutdown URL.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Open your browser of choice and configure it to send data through the proxy host and port you've used in arachni. For Firefox settings see below<br>
<a href="http://www.aston.ac.uk/library/staff/mozillaproxy/">http://www.aston.ac.uk/library/staff/mozillaproxy/</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Leave arachni CLI for now. With the browser navigate to the page you would like to perform a scan and login with the credentials. You will see that arachni CLI passing some commends. After you finish the login, navigate to <a href="http://arachni.proxy/shutdown">http://arachni.proxy/shutdown</a> so that cookies can be passed to arachni PhantoJS instances and arachni will start the scanning process. Don't forget to exclude any logout / exit so that arachni won't accidentally leave a valid session. Please let us know about your results.</p>
</li>
