Coverage -----------------------
Checks
--checks-list [PATTERN] List available checks based on the provided pattern.
(If no pattern is provided all checks will be listed.)
--audit-cookies-extensively Submit all links and forms of the page along with the cookie permutations.
(*WARNING*: This will severely increase the scan-time.)

etc.
--fuzz-methods Audit links, forms and cookies using both GET and POST requests.
(*WARNING*: This will severely increase the scan-time.)
You can exclude checks by prefixing their name with a minus sign:
--checks=*,-backup_files,-xss
The above will load all checks except for the 'backup_files' and 'xss' checks.

(By default, the system will try to identify the deployed server-side platforms automatically
in order to avoid sending irrelevant payloads.)
