Intro • Installation • Usage • Running HaxUnit • Functions
HaxUnit is a Python script designed for comprehensive reconnaissance and security assessment of web domains. It integrates various tools for subdomain enumeration, port scanning, vulnerability scanning, and more.
HaxUnit is focused on simplicity and aims to be the best and most complete solution for web security assessments.
- Subdomain Enumeration: Uses tools like Subfinder, DNSx, and custom bruteforce methods.
- Port Scanning: Utilizes Naabu for fast port scanning across discovered subdomains.
- Vulnerability Scanning: Integrates Nuclei for detecting security issues across web applications.
- WordPress Scanning: Uses WPScan to identify vulnerabilities in WordPress installations.
- Acunetix Integration: Provides optional integration with Acunetix for web application security scanning.
For a reliable installation, it's recommended to use HaxUnit with Docker Compose.
This initial setup may take a few minutes:
- Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/Bandit-HaxUnit/haxunit && cd haxunit
- (optional) Rename
.env.example
to.env
and fill in the API keys.
ACUNETIX_THRESHOLD=30
ACUNETIX_API_KEY=
NUCLEI_API_KEY=
WPSCAN_API_KEY=
- Set executable permissions for scripts:
chmod +x rebuild-compose.sh open-bash.sh
- Build and Run Docker Compose:
./rebuild-compose.sh
Once the installation completes successfully, you'll be inside the Docker container, ready to execute HaxUnit:
🎉 Installation Complete! 🎉
HaxUnit is now ready to rock!
Time to find those vulnerabilities and patch them like a pro! 🕵️♂️🔍
🚀 To start scanning, run the following command:
haxunit -d <domain>
That's it, you're all set to start scanning domains with HaxUnit!
To open a bash shell inside the HaxUnit container, run the following command:
./open-bash.sh
Make sure you have the following software installed on your system:
python3
(>=3.10)go
(>=1.122)docker.io
(>=20.10.7)
-
Clone the Repository:
Open a terminal and run the following command to clone the repository and navigate into the project directory:
git clone https://github.com/Bandit-HaxUnit/haxunit && cd haxunit
-
Install
python3.11-venv
(if needed):If you don't have the
venv
module installed, you may need to install it. Run one of the following commands depending on your Python version:sudo apt update sudo apt install python3.11-venv
Or for Python 3.10:
sudo apt update sudo apt install python3.10-venv
-
Create a Virtual Environment:
Create a virtual environment named
haxunit-venv
:python3 -m venv haxunit-venv
-
Activate the Virtual Environment:
Activate the virtual environment using the following command:
source haxunit-venv/bin/activate
Note: To deactivate the virtual environment later, you can simply run
deactivate
. -
Install the Required Packages:
With the virtual environment activated, install the necessary packages:
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Run the Installation Script:
Finally, run the main script with the
--install
flag:haxunit --install
If everything is installed correctly you should see the following output:
[HaxUnit] [Init] All tools are successfully installed - good luck!
haxunit -h
This will display help for the tool. Here are all the switches it supports.
usage: main.py [-h] [-d DOMAIN] [-m {quick,extensive}] [-v] [-b BIN] [-is ISERVER] [-it ITOKEN] [-acu] [-y] [-u] [-i] [--wpscan-api-token WPSCAN_API_TOKEN]
[--use-notify] [--cloud-upload]
HaxUnit
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d DOMAIN, --domain DOMAIN
the website to recon: example.com
-m {quick,extensive}, --mode {quick,extensive}
set scan mode
-v, --verbose print more information
-b BIN, --bin BIN set which python bin to use
-is ISERVER, --iserver ISERVER
interactsh server URL for self-hosted instance
-it ITOKEN, --itoken ITOKEN
authentication token for self-hosted interactsh server
-acu, --use-acunetix Acunetix API key
-y, --yes yes to all
-u, --update update all tools
-i, --install install all tools
--wpscan-api-token WPSCAN_API_TOKEN
The WPScan API Token to display vulnerability data
--use-notify Run notify on completion
--cloud-upload Upload results to ProjectDiscovery cloud
Run a quick scan on example.com
:
haxunit -d example.com
Run a quick scan on example.com
saying yes to adding domains by default:
haxunit -d example.com -y
Run an extensive scan on example.com
using Acunetix and uploading results to ProjectDiscovery cloud:
haxunit -d example.com -m extensive --use-acunetix --cloud-upload
Results from the scan will be saved in the following directory structure:
scans/
└── example.com/
└── timestamp/
Replace example.com
with your target domain and timestamp
with the date and time when the scan was conducted.
This structure organizes scan results chronologically under the respective domain folder within the scans directory.
This repository includes a sample Apache Airflow DAG that automates the HaxUnit scanning process.
- Clone the Repository:
Clone this repository into thedags
directory of your Apache Airflow installation.
git clone https://github.com/Bandit-HaxUnit/haxunit && cd haxunit
- Rename
.env.example
to.env
and fill in the API keys.

- Configure Notifications:
To receive notifications upon completion, renamenotify-config.yaml.example
tonotify-config.yaml
.
Example configuration for Slack notifications:
slack:
- id: "slack"
slack_channel: "automated-pentest"
slack_username: "HackerBot"
slack_format: "{{data}}"
slack_webhook_url: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXX"
-
Setup the DAG:
Renamedags.py.example
todags.py
and configure it according to your needs.
Don't forget to use--use-notify
to enable notifications. -
Build and Run HaxUnit:
After configuring the notification settings, build and run HaxUnit with the following command:
chmod +x rebuild-compose.sh && ./rebuild-compose.sh
By following these steps, you can now automate your pentests using Apache Airflow. Enjoy the streamlined process!
HaxUnit utilizes Acunetix's REST API to automate group creation and initiate scans.
To generate an API key, visit Profile Page.
Insert the API key in the .env
file.
ACUNETIX_API_KEY=
Rebuild docker compose to apply the changes:
./rebuild-compose.sh
To run HaxUnit with Acunetix, use the following command:
haxunit -d example.com --use-acunetix
Installing Acunetix
To install Acunetix, execute the following command:
bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bandit-HaxUnit/acu/main/install.sh)
This will download and install the Acunetix container.
Once the installation is complete, you can start using Acunetix with HaxUnit.
Acunetix can be accessed at https://localhost:3443.
