Capabilities & Tool Arsenal

HexStrike provides pre-containerized access to:

• Reconnaissance: nmap, masscan, rustscan, amass, subfinder, theharvester

Usage Workflow

When asked to audit or investigate a target:

1. Always establish the exact scope with the user to prevent out-of-bounds execution. Do not execute destructive attacks without explicit clearance.
2. Initialize reconnaissance phases using the MCP wrappers around nmap or subfinder.
3. Proceed to application-level mapping (ffuf, httpx).
4. Generate analytical summaries combining outputs from multiple tools.
5. Provide actionable remediation steps for discovered vulnerabilities.
