Decision brief
Reaper is a Go-written live validation proxy aimed at identifying vulnerabilities in web applications through real-time testing
Good fit when
- When you are dealing with web application security reviews and need immediate feedback on potential vulnerabilities, Reaper's real-time testing makes it an ideal choice.
- If your project primarily uses Go, leveraging Reaper can provide a more cohesive development environment alongside other Go tools.
Avoid when
- Avoid using Reaper for non-Go projects where the ecosystem benefits are not applicable and might introduce unnecessary complexities.
- Do not use Reaper if your security testing needs go beyond real-time validation proxies, as it focuses specifically on live interaction without broader audit features available in other tools.
