AutoX is a powerful Python-based automation tool designed for advanced web reconnaissance and vulnerability scanning. It integrates technology detection using Wappalyzer with dynamic Nuclei scans, targeting identified tech stacks and versions for precision-based assessments. The script offers multi-source vulnerability enrichment, including CVE lookups via NVD, ExploitDB scraping, Vulners API queries, and Metasploit module checks. With features like multithreading, configurable scanning intensity, and comprehensive reporting, AutoX streamlines the vulnerability assessment process while providing actionable insights.
Advanced technology fingerprinting that identifies web frameworks, libraries, and their specific versions to enable targeted vulnerability scanning.
Automatically creates and executes custom Nuclei scan templates based on the detected technologies, focusing only on relevant vulnerabilities.
Seamlessly integrates with multiple exploit databases to provide actionable exploit information for identified vulnerabilities.
Generates detailed reports in multiple formats (PDF, HTML, JSON) with severity ratings, exploit details, and specific remediation recommendations.
AutoX is built with Python 3 and employs a modular architecture that allows for easy extension and customization. The core functionality is divided into separate modules for technology detection, vulnerability scanning, exploit correlation, and reporting. The tool leverages various APIs and integrates with existing security tools through subprocess management and API interactions. To ensure performance, AutoX implements multithreading for parallel processing and employs intelligent caching to reduce redundant API calls and speed up subsequent scans.
