OWASP ZAP module

OWASP ZAP has an API that we can use. Additionally, there is a Python module for consuming the API. We will try and use that to learn how to write our own Ansible modules.

Create ZAP using Docker

For our development, let's use a Docker container to get ZAP going. Since we plan to use the API, we will run the container in headless mode:

$ docker run -u zap -p 8080:8080 -i owasp/zap2docker-stable zap.sh -daemon -host 0.0.0.0 -port 8080 -config api.disablekey=true -config api.addrs.addr.name=.* -config api.addrs.addr.regex=true

Explanation of the command

• While we are doing dev, we can disable the API key: -config api.disablekey=true
• Allow access to the API from any IP: -config api.addrs.addr.name...
