Create hosts

root@kitploit:~
$ faraday-cli host create -d \''[{"ip": "stan.local", "description": "some server"}]'\'

Or pipe it

root@kitploit:~
$ echo '[{"ip": "1.1.1.5", "description": "some text"}]' | faraday-cli host create --stdin

The escaping of the single quotes (\') is only needed when using it as a command. In the shell or using pipes it not necessary

Import vulnerabilities from tool report

root@kitploit:~
$ faraday-cli tool report "/path/to/report.xml"

Example

Import vulnerabilities from command

root@kitploit:~
$ faraday-cli ping -c 1 www.google.com

Example

List agents

root@kitploit:~
$ faraday-cli agent list
  id  name      active    status    executors
----  --------  --------  --------  -----------
   8  internal  True      online    nmap

Run executor

root@kitploit:~
$ faraday-cli agent run -a 1 -e nmap -p \''{"target": "www.google.com"}'\'
Run executor: internal/nmap [{'successful': True}]

Use it like a shell

Faraday-cli can be used as a shell and have all the same commands you have as a cli

Example

Use cases

Continuous scan your assets with faraday

For example run nmap for all the hosts in faraday that listen on the 443 port and import the results back to faraday

root@kitploit:~
$ faraday-cli host list --port 443 -ip | nmap -iL - -oX /tmp/nmap.xml  && faraday-cli process_report /tmp/nmap.xml

Scan your subdomains

Use a tool like assetfinder to do a domains lookup, scan them with nmap and send de results to faraday

root@kitploit:~
$ assetfinder -subs-only example.com| sort | uniq |awk 'BEGIN { ORS = ""; print " {\"target\":\""}
{ printf "%s%s", separator, $1, $2
separator = ","}END { print "\"}" }' | faraday-cli  agent run  -a 1 -e nmap --stdin
