Aquatone vs EyeWitness
GitHub Stats
About Aquatone
Aquatone is a tool for visual inspection of websites across a large number of hosts, designed to help quickly identify interesting targets in a sea of web servers. Given a list of URLs or domains, Aquatone visits each one, takes a screenshot, collects HTTP headers and response bodies, and generates an interactive HTML report that lets you visually browse through all discovered web services. This visual approach is much faster than manually visiting hundreds of URLs - you can quickly spot login panels, default pages, interesting applications, and potential targets by scanning through the screenshot gallery. Aquatone is commonly used after subdomain enumeration to triage discovered assets, identifying which subdomains host web applications worth deeper investigation. It runs headless Chrome for rendering and supports customizable viewport sizes, timeouts, and concurrent connections.
About EyeWitness
EyeWitness is designed to take screenshots of websites, provide server header info, and identify default credentials if possible. It is built to run on Kali Linux and supports capturing screenshots from HTTP/HTTPS websites, RDP services, and VNC servers. EyeWitness automatically categorizes captured screenshots into groups like 'High Value Targets' (admin panels, login pages), 'Content Management Systems', 'Network Devices', and '404 Not Found', making it easy to prioritize targets during large-scale assessments. The HTML report includes the screenshot, server headers, and any identified default credentials, with sortable columns and search functionality. EyeWitness uses Selenium with a headless browser for web screenshots and integrates with Nmap and Nessus XML output for seamless workflow integration.
