KhepriMaat
Evidence-first bug bounty automation. Named after Egyptian gods Khepri & Maat. Async queue, priority scheduling, SSE event streaming, 30+ secret patterns auto-redacted. Subfinder → HTTPX → Nuclei → SQLMap pipelines. REST API with RBAC, scheduled scans, confidence scoring. Production-ready Rust framework.
Tech Stack
Executive Summary
KhepriMaat represents the next generation of security automation, combining Rust’s performance and safety guarantees with modern async architecture. Designed for enterprise security teams, it provides a scalable, API-first approach to offensive security operations while maintaining strict safety controls for lab environments.
Technical Architecture
Core Components
1. Async Runtime (Tokio)
- Multi-threaded executor with work-stealing
- Zero-cost async/await abstractions
- Backpressure handling for resource management
- Graceful shutdown handling
2. REST API (Axum)
// Example endpoint
async fn scan_target(
State(state): State<AppState>,
Json(payload): Json<ScanRequest>
) -> Result<Json<ScanResult>, AppError> {
let scanner = state.scanner_pool.acquire().await?;
let result = scanner.scan(payload.target).await?;
Ok(Json(result))
}
3. Pipeline Engine
- DAG-based workflow execution
- Parallel stage processing
- Automatic retry with exponential backoff
- Circuit breaker pattern for failing services
Security Features
Lab-Safe Defaults
- Rate limiting: 10 requests/second per target
- Scope validation with regex patterns
- Automatic pause on suspicious activity
- Emergency stop endpoint
Evidence Collection
- Screenshots with timestamps
- HTTP request/response logging
- SSL certificate chain capture
- WHOIS and DNS history
Key Features
🎯 Reconnaissance Modules
1. Subdomain Enumeration
- Passive: Certificate Transparency logs, VirusTotal, Shodan
- Active: DNS brute force with 10M wordlist
- Permutation: Alterations and mutations
- Resolution: MassDNS with 1000 resolvers
2. Port Scanning
- TCP SYN (stealth) scanning
- Service version detection
- OS fingerprinting
- Vulnerability correlation
3. Web Discovery
- Technology fingerprinting (Wappalyzer rules)
- Endpoint discovery (common paths, API docs)
- Parameter discovery
- JavaScript analysis
📊 Reporting Engine
Structured Output Formats
- JSON: Machine-readable for automation
- HTML: Executive dashboards
- PDF: Client deliverables
- SARIF: IDE integration
Report Templates
- Executive summary
- Technical findings
- Remediation guidance
- Risk scoring (CVSS 3.1)
