Essential Tools for Ethical Hackers and Enterprises
Everything you need for comprehensive web application security testing in one lightweight package.
Findings
The Findings feature helps you highlight what really matters in the noise of web traffic. A Finding is created manually by right-clicking a request in the table or inside the raw request/response view. You’ll be prompted to enter a name and description, and once you hit Create, it will automatically appear in the Findings menu. Each Finding keeps the full context, including the request, response, and your notes. So you can quickly understand and track potential issues.
HTTP Request Highlighter
Allows you to visually mark specific HTTP requests in the traffic table by applying colors to their rows. This makes it much easier to spot important requests among the large volume of traffic that passes through the proxy.
Attack Surface Mapper
Automatic detection of open ports, services, and running software from targets. Complete reconnaissance and asset discovery.
Website Scanner
Comprehensive web security assessment tool that combines passive vulnerability scanning, intelligent web crawling, technology detection, and attack surface discovery through automated, non-intrusive testing.
Intercept
Real-time HTTP request interception and analysis during browsing sessions. Monitor and analyze all network traffic with precision.
Repeater
Resend and modify existing requests for manual endpoint testing and analysis. Perfect for testing API endpoints and parameter manipulation.
Fuzzer
No delays, just speed, fuzz faster than ever with advanced fuzzing algorithms, smart payload generation, and custom wordlists at your fingertips.
Smart Decoder
Custom encoders and decoders for various data formats and protocols. Handle multiple encoding schemes with ease.
Dark Mode
Switch to a darker interface that keeps your eyes relaxed and your workflow sharp. Whether you’re testing late at night or running long sessions, Dark Mode adapts to you.
Guest Mode
Guest Mode gives you full access to all features without creating an account. Work inside a secure temporary workspace that disappears on the next startup, including any data stored during the session. Perfect for quick testing, demos, or exploring the platform without commitment.
