* scanning GET parameter 'test'
* scanning POST parameter 'searchFor'
 (i) POST parameter 'searchFor' appears to be XSS vulnerable (">.xss.<", outside
 of tags, no filtering)

scan results: possible vulnerabilities found

$ python3 dsxs.py -u "http://public-firing-range.appspot.com/address/location.has
h/replace"

 by: Miroslav Stampar (@stamparm)

 (i) page itself appears to be XSS vulnerable (DOM)
  (o) ...<script>
      var payload = window.location.hash.substr(1);location.replace(payload); 

    </script>...
 (x) no usable GET/POST parameters found

scan results: possible vulnerabilities found
