Running httpx with stdin

This will run the tool against all the hosts and subdomains in hosts.txt and returns URLs running HTTP webserver.

📋 Notes

  • As default, httpx checks for HTTPS probe and fall-back to HTTP only if HTTPS is not reachable.
  • For printing both HTTP/HTTPS results, no-fallback flag can be used.
  • Custom scheme for ports can be defined, for example -ports http:443,http:80,https:8443
  • vhost, http2, pipeline, ports, csp-probe, tls-probe and path are unique flag with different probes.
  • Unique flags should be used for specific use cases instead of running them as default with other flags.
  • When using json flag, all the information (default probes) included in the JSON output.
