httpx is a fast and multi-purpose HTTP toolkit that allows running multiple probes using the retryablehttp library. It is designed to maintain result reliability with an increased number of threads.
- Simple and modular code base making it easy to contribute.
- Fast And fully configurable flags to probe multiple elements.
- Supports multiple HTTP based probings.
- Smart auto fallback from https to http as default.
- Supports hosts, URLs and CIDR as input.
- Handles edge cases doing retries, backoffs etc for handling WAFs.

https://support.hackerone.comLatest addition to the project, the addition of the -screenshot option in httpx, a powerful new feature that allows users to take screenshots of target URLs, pages, or endpoints along with the rendered DOM. This functionality enables the visual content discovery process, providing a comprehensive view of the target's visual appearance.
Rendered DOM body is also included in json line output when -screenshot option is used with -json option.
To use the screenshot feature, simply add the -screenshot flag to your httpx command:
httpx -screenshot -u https://example.com🎯 Domain, Subdomain, and Path Support
The -screenshot option is versatile and can be used to capture screenshots for domains, subdomains, and even specific paths when used in conjunction with the -path option:
httpx -screenshot -u example.com
httpx -screenshot -u https://example.com/login
httpx -screenshot -path fuzz_path.txt -u https://example.comUsing with other tools:
subfinder -d example.com | httpx -screenshotBy default, httpx will use the go-rod library to install and manage Chrome for taking screenshots. However, if you prefer to use your locally installed system Chrome, add the -system-chrome flag:
httpx -screenshot -system-chrome -u https://example.comScreenshots are stored in the output/screenshot directory by default. To specify a custom output directory, use the -srd option:
httpx -screenshot -srd /path/to/custom/directory -u https://example.comPlease note that since screenshots are captured using a headless browser, httpx runs will be slower when using the -screenshot option.
httpx can be used as a library by creating an instance of the Option struct and populating it with the same options that would be specified via CLI. Once validated, the struct should be passed to a runner instance (to be closed at the end of the program) and the RunEnumeration method should be called. A minimal example of how to do it is in the examples folder
- As default,
httpxprobe with HTTPS scheme and fall-back to HTTP only if HTTPS is not reachable. - The
-no-fallbackflag can be used to probe and display both HTTP and HTTPS result. - Custom scheme for ports can be defined, for example
-ports http:443,http:80,https:8443 - Custom resolver supports multiple protocol (doh|tcp|udp) in form of
protocol:resolver:port(e.g.udp:127.0.0.1:53) - The following flags should be used for specific use cases instead of running them as default with other probes:
-ports-path-vhost-screenshot-csp-probe-tls-probe-favicon-http2-pipeline-tls-impersonate
Probing feature is inspired by @tomnomnom/httprobe work ❤️
