Every time I had to install 5-6 different tools, configure each one separately, merge results manually, and deal with compatibility issues.</p> <p>So I built <strong>Snakebite</strong> - an advanced vulnerability scanner with <strong>122+ security modules</strong> that runs as a single executable with zero dependencies.</p> <h2> Key Features </h2> <p><strong>Reconnaissance and OSINT</strong> - Subdomain enumeration, DNS, GeoIP, Google Dorking, Shodan integration</p> <p><strong>Injection Testing</strong> - SQLi (error/blind/time), XSS (reflected/stored/DOM), RCE, SSTI, LFI, XXE, Log4Shell, Spring4Shell</p> <p><strong>Auth Testing</strong> - JWT analysis and forge, OAuth2, session fixation, IDOR, brute force</p> <p><strong>Cloud Security</strong> - AWS S3, Firebase, Kubernetes, Docker, SSRF</p> <p><strong>CMS and Enterprise</strong> - WordPress, Drupal, Jenkins, Tomcat, WebLogic, Exchange, VMware, Jira</p> <p><strong>AI-Powered</strong> - WAF bypass with ML, zero-day pattern detection, AI vulnerability prediction</p> <h2> The Numbers </h2> <ul> <li>122+ security modules</li> <li>OWASP Top 10 full coverage</li> <li>Auto CVE exploitation (2023-2025)</li> <li>4 scan profiles (Stealth, Light, Standard, Aggressive)</li> <li>Professional reports (JSON + HTML + PDF)</li> <li>Windows + Linux + Termux support</li> <li>Shodan, VirusTotal and GitHub API integration</li> </ul> <h2> How to Use </h2> <p>Just download the executable and run:<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code>./Snakebite.exe <span class="nt">-u</span> https://target.com </code></pre> </div> <p>Stealth mode through Tor:<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code>./Snakebite.exe <span class="nt">-u</span> https://target.com <span class="nt">--profile</span> stealth <span class="nt">--proxy</span> socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 </code></pre> </div> <p>Full aggressive scan:<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code>./Snakebite.exe <span class="nt">-u</span> https://target.com <span class="nt">--profile</span> aggressive <span class="nt">--timeout</span> 30 </code></pre> </div> <h2> Links </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>GitHub</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/xKILLERDEADx/Snakebite" rel="noopener noreferrer">github.com/xKILLERDEADx/Snakebite</a> </li> <li> <strong>Full Docs</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/xKILLERDEADx/Snakebite/wiki" rel="noopener noreferrer">Snakebite Wiki</a> </li> <li> <strong>Download</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/xKILLERDEADx/snakebite/releases/latest" rel="noopener noreferrer">Latest Release</a> </li> </ul> <p>Hope it saves you some time.
