Installation
Installing secator
Pipx
pipx install secator
Pip
pip install secator
Bash
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freelabz/secator/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
Docker
docker run -it --rm --net=host -v ~/.secator:/root/.secator freelabz/secator --help
The volume mount -v is necessary to save all secator reports to your host machine, and--net=host is recommended to grant full access to the host network. You can alias this command to run it easier: alias secator="docker run -it --rm --net=host -v ~/.secator:/root/.secator freelabz/secator"
Now you can run secator like if it was installed on baremetal: secator --help
Docker Compose
git clone https://github.com/freelabz/secatorcd secatordocker-compose up -ddocker-compose exec secator secator --help
Note: If you chose the Bash, Docker or Docker Compose installation methods, you can skip the next sections and go straight to Usage.
Installing languages
secator
uses external tools, so you might need to install languages used by those tools assuming they are not already installed on your system.
We provide utilities to install required languages if you don't manage them externally:
Go
secator install langs go
Ruby
secator install langs ruby
Installing tools
secator
does not install any of the external tools it supports by default.
We provide utilities to install or update each supported tool which should work on all systems supporting apt
:
All tools
secator install tools
Specific tools
secator install tools <TOOL_NAME>
For instance, to install `httpx`, use: secator install tools httpx
Please make sure you are using the latest available versions for each tool before you run secator or you might run into parsing / formatting issues.

Install CVEs

secator install cves
Checking installation health
To figure out which languages or tools are installed on your system (along with their version):
secator health
Usage
secator --help
Usage examples
Run a fuzzing task (ffuf
):
secator x ffuf http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ
Run a url crawl workflow:
secator w url_crawl http://testphp.vulnweb.com
