Difference Between Contexts & Sites in OWASP ZAP

[Nisarg Patel]

Hello Team,

I have started using OWASP ZAP toll since last 2 months but I am confused about the difference between "Contexts" & "Sites" in OWASP ZAP. Please let me know so that I can clear my concepts faster :)

Its always looking at the help file that comes with ZAP - just click on the Help button on the toolbar or use the "Help/OWASP ZAP User Guide" menu. Its also available online.

Contexts are described here: https://github.com/zaproxy/zap-core-help/wiki/HelpStartConceptsContexts

Does that help?

Cheers,

Simon

Thank you Simon for your quick feedback I have learnt if in your help center. I have 1 more question which is a major issue. I have installed ZAP 2.5.0 in 2 different machines. 1 is showing me all plugins which you can find in below screenshot and 1 is showing me less plugins which is an issue for me as I want to see all plugins in 2nd machine. 

Can you please help me out with it ASAP!

Thanks,

Nisarg.

First of all you should update to the latest version, which is currently 2.6.0 :)
The scan rules are based on the add-ons you have installed - you can see those via the Manage Add-on dialog: https://github.com/zaproxy/zap-core-help/wiki/HelpUiDialogsManageaddons

It looks like in one case you only have the 'release' active scan rules installed while in the other case you also have the 'beta' scan rules installed.

Cheers,

Simon
