Aquatone vs httpx
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 httpx
Httpx is a fast and versatile HTTP toolkit designed for probing and analyzing HTTP servers. It efficiently handles retries and fallbacks to ensure comprehensive server detection and supports a wide range of features like URL filtering and request concurrency. Built in Go, Httpx is optimized for performance and is part of the ProjectDiscovery suite, making it a valuable asset for security professionals conducting web reconnaissance and HTTP-based assessments.
