Basic And Advance HTTPX For Bug Bounty

What is HTTPX

HTTPX tool is written in go language which helps a lot in bug bounty or information gathering, using this we can scan the domain or subdomain of any domain or target, find dead subdomains and alive subdomains, and also Also we can check the status code and title without having to open the domain in the browser so let’s see how we can do that

How To Download

Open your terminal and run this command (Please make sure the go language has been installed and setup)

go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/httpx/cmd/[email protected]

How To Use httpx

Here is the basic command to use httpx

httpx -l <subdomain/hosts file name>

we can check the status code and title of the hosts or subdomains by using this command

httpx -l <subdomain/hosts file name> -sc --title

also, we can check to follow redirects on the same host by using this command

httpx -l <subdomain/hosts file name> -sc --title -fhr

here are some more commands

  ./httpx [flags]
