The WPScan is a security scanner tool that helps us in the verification of the security and identifies possible vulnerabilities of the WordPress projects, which is made to test the security of web pages developed in WordPress.

With WPScan is possible to do a series of tests like relate the users, break weak passwords, enumerate vulnerabilities of the core and installed plugins and themes. 

And you need to know that WPScan is free of charge for a non-commercial use.

This is the main way that hackers use to break and hack WordPress sites, but otherwise, this tool can help you to identify gaps on your website as well.
