Using Arachni Scanner with cookies / restricted areas

Below is a command line example I like to use with the Arachni Scanner - it allows you to use a session cookie (you can obtain from something like tamperdata) and ensures that specific URL's are not caled - for example logoff - which would (obviously) kill our session:

./arachni --http-cookie-string "cookie123" --scope-exclude-pattern logoff --scope-exclude-pattern login https://yourdomain.com/auth/restrictedarea/
