EyeWitness vs Katana
GitHub Stats
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.
About Katana
Katana is a next-generation web crawling and spidering framework designed for efficient data gathering. It operates in both headless browser and standard modes, enabling it to automatically fill forms and navigate complex web structures. Developed in Go, Katana is optimized for performance and flexibility, making it suitable for both simple and advanced web reconnaissance tasks. Its ability to handle dynamic content makes it a valuable asset for penetration testers and researchers.
