xssGo - Automated Xss Scanner

	"xssGo" is designed to automate scanning cross site scripting vulnerabilities.
	Most important functionality of the program is that because of testing with a
	real browser, not producing wrong results, aka false positives.

	It is possible to scan with or without authentication. Authentication can be

		consist of parsing the html page, excluding all links refers to same host.
		Scanning is done as Breadt-First-Search (BFS) algorithm. Leves is determined
		by user. Output of the phase is a list consist of target URLs.

	2) Testing Query Parameters.
		All target URLs are examined and tested if there is paramater that can be
		tested. All parameters like /page.php?name=user&date=10#last are replaced
		with XSS Payloads and new link sent to real browser to be tested.
		Real Browser runs the URL and examines the response.If there is alert
		URL is included to vulnerable url list.

	3) Testing Form Inputs.
		All target URLs are examined and the forms in page are scanned.All input
		tags in every form is filled with XSS payload and sent. Result is
		observed by real browser.
