FYI, How to force the Arachni WebUI to listen on IPv4
This is an explanation for others rather than a question. It results from an issue I had and found the answer to. Maybe it could be added to the Arachni KB.
On some hosts the Arachni WebUI will default to listening for connections on IPv6. To force the WebUI to listen on IPv4, start it with the --host parameter as follows:
arachni_web --host 0.0.0.0
If you are accessing the Arachni WebUI via HTTPS using a HTTPS
reverse proxy running on the same host and don't want the Arachni
WebUI to be directly accessible via HTTP, change the host IP from
0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1. Don't use localhost
instead of 127.0.0.1 as it may resolve to the IPv6 localhost
address.
Instead of specifying the host parameter as a command line
parameter, it can also be supplied via the
system/arachni-ui-web/config.ru file. Add the
following line immediately below the comment line at the beginning
of config.ru:
#\ --host 0.0.0.0
or
#\ --host 127.0.0.1
A tip, arachni_web --help will show the available
parameters.
