Brief description:
-------------------
Arachni is a feature-full, modular, high-performance Ruby framework 
aimed towards helping penetration testers and administrators evaluate 
the security of web applications.

Arachni is smart, it trains itself by learning from the HTTP responses 
it receives during the audit process.
Unlike other scanners, Arachni takes into account the dynamic nature of 
web applications and can detect changes caused while travelling
through the paths of a web application's cyclomatic complexity.

This way attack/input vectors that would otherwise be undetectable by 
non-humans are seamlessly handled by Arachni.

Finally, Arachni yields great performance due to its asynchronous HTTP 
model (courtesy of Typhoeus).
Thus, you'll only be limited by the responsiveness of the server under 
audit and your available bandwidth.

Note:
Despite the fact that Arachni is mostly targeted towards web application 
security,
it can easily be used for general purpose scraping, data-mining, etc 
with the addition of custom modules.
