The design, in more detail

Definition

A personal offensive security and threat intelligence workbench orchestrating multi-vector reconnaissance, vulnerability correlation, and structured CVSS reporting.

The problem

Modern attack surfaces are vast and constantly mutating. Security engineers are plagued by tool sprawl, disjointed reconnaissance outputs, and manual correlation bottlenecks. API vulnerabilities like Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) and multi-step authorization bypasses slip through conventional single-request scanners.

The approach

BugZap provides an end-to-end autonomous CTI loop in a native pywebview desktop environment with an embedded Hetty intercepting proxy. It orchestrates 129 specialized engines through 6 unified execution phases—from asset discovery and ASN perimeter mapping to tri-state BOLA verification and automated disclosure reports.

How it works

  1. 15-Stage Reconnaissance: Performs passive DNS resolution, ASN perimeter mapping, TLS certificate mining, and JavaScript endpoint extraction.
  2. Tri-State BOLA Detection: Generates cross-tenant credential pairs to test unauthorized object manipulation across REST and GraphQL endpoints.
  3. Embedded Hetty Interceptor: Transparently intercepts, modifies, and replays HTTP/2 traffic locally with millisecond packet inspection.
  4. 18-Stage Exploitation Matrix: Tests for SSRF, SQLi, IDOR, race conditions, and deserialization vulnerabilities with bounded safety constraints.
  5. Automated Disclosure Compilation: Formats discovered vulnerabilities into standardized CVSS v3.1 reports ready for bug bounty programs or enterprise remediation.
