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/secator
cd secator
docker-compose up -d
docker-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.

Installing addons

secator comes installed with the minimum amount of dependencies.

There are several addons available for secator:

worker Add support for Celery workers (see [Distributed runs with Celery](https://docs.freelabz.com/in-depth/distributed-runs-with-celery)).
secator install addons worker
google Add support for Google Drive exporter (`-o gdrive`).
secator install addons google
mongodb Add support for MongoDB driver (`-driver mongodb`).
secator install addons mongodb
redis Add support for Redis backend (Celery).
secator install addons redis
dev Add development tools like `coverage` and `flake8` required for running tests.
secator install addons dev
trace Add tracing tools like `memray` and `pyinstrument` required for tracing functions.
secator install addons trace
build Add `hatch` for building and publishing the PyPI package.
secator install addons build

Install CVEs

secator makes remote API calls to https://cve.circl.lu/ to get in-depth information about the CVEs it encounters. We provide a subcommand to download all known CVEs locally so that future lookups are made from disk instead:

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

Run a host scan:

secator s host mydomain.com

and more... to list all tasks / workflows / scans that you can use:

secator x --help
secator w --help
secator s --help
