XSStrike is a Cross Site Scripting detection suite equipped with four hand written parsers, an intelligent payload generator, a powerful fuzzing engine and an incredibly fast crawler.
Instead of injecting payloads and checking it works like all the other tools do, XSStrike analyses the response with multiple parsers and then crafts payloads that are guaranteed to work by context analysis integrated with a fuzzing engine. Here are some examples of the payloads generated by XSStrike:
}]};(confirm)()//\
<A%0aONMouseOvER%0d=%0d[8].find(confirm)>z
</tiTlE/><a%0donpOintErentER%0d=%0d(prompt)``>z
</SCRiPT/><DETAILs/+/onpoINTERenTEr%0a=%0aa=prompt,a()//
Apart from that, XSStrike has crawling, fuzzing, parameter discovery, WAF detection capabilities as well. It also scans for DOM XSS vulnerabilities.

To install XSStrike, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Open a terminal on your system.
Step 2: Clone the XSStrike repository from GitHub by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/s0md3v/XSStrike.git
Step 3: Navigate to the XSStrike directory using the cd command:
cd XSStrike
Step 4: Install the required dependencies using pip (Python package installer). If you don't have pip installed, you can refer to the official pip documentation (https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/) for instructions on how to install pip on your system.
pip install -r requirements.txt
Step 5: XSStrike should now be installed on your system. You can run XSStrike by executing the following command:
python xsstrike.py
After executing the command, the XSStrike interface will be launched, and you can start using it to scan for XSS vulnerabilities.
Please note that XSStrike is a command-line tool and requires Python to be installed on your system. Ensure that you have Python installed and the appropriate version required by XSStrike.

The WAF signatures in /db/wafSignatures.json are taken & modified from sqlmap. I extracted them from sqlmap's waf detection modules which can found here and converted them to JSON.
