WebSlurp vs Trivy

WebSlurp

WebSlurp is a Chrome DevTools extension that captures HTTP and HTTPS requests from the page being inspected, lets you edit the method, URL parameters, headers and body, and replays them from a DevTools panel. It is a Manifest V3 extension installed by cloning the GitHub repository and loading it unpacked with Chrome developer mode enabled, so it runs locally with no proxy or certificate setup. Recent versions add an attack surface analysis that scores endpoints on authorization and business logic patterns.

Pros
  • Runs inside Chrome DevTools with no proxy, certificate or separate application to configure, per the project README
  • Source is public on GitHub and the repository shows active development, with 203 commits on main and a v1.9 release published on 1 August 2026
  • cURL and JSON export move captured requests into terminals, scripts or a later session

    • Vulnerability database updates rely on community and Aqua research
    • Lacks automated fix PR generation and remediation workflow
    • No dedicated SAST engine for deep code-level vulnerability analysis
    • Enterprise features require paid Aqua Platform subscription
