Security Automation with Ansible 2

Running the module

The choices we have for running the module are as follows:

1. We copy it to the standard path of Ansible library.
2. We provide a path to Ansible library whenever we have our module file.
3. Run this file through a playbook.

The following command will invoke our module for us to test and see the results:

ansible -m owasp_zap_test_module localhost -a "host=http://172.16.1.102:8080 target=http://testphp.vulnweb.com" -vvv

Explanation of the command

• ansible command line
• -m to give the module name, which is owasp_zap_test_module
• It will run on localhost
• -a allows us to pass the host and target module arguments
• -vvv is for the verbosity of output
