A new tool called Argus has been developed as a web-based security scanner aimed at simplifying pre-Burp suite assessment tasks. Inspired by MobSF (Mobile Security Framework), which streamlines mobile app security assessments, Argus aims to compress the repetitive reconnaissance work typically done in preparation for using tools like Burp Suite.
Argus is designed to perform various checks such as headers analysis, SSL/TLS evaluation, DNS queries, file scanning, port discovery, subdomain enumeration, source code review, and takeover vulnerability assessment. These tasks are often spread across multiple tabs or tools but Argus consolidates them into a single interface, reducing the setup time for security assessments.
Key features of Argus include:
- Next.js + React UI: Provides an intuitive user experience.
- API-based architecture: Each module operates independently to enhance performance and reliability on serverless platforms like Vercel.
- Optional API Key Authentication: Ensures that only authorized users can access the service, with rate limiting in place to prevent abuse.
- Export Capabilities: Results can be exported as JSON, CSV, SARIF, or PDF for easy sharing and reporting.
The tool supports internationalization, high-contrast mode, and is designed to be both local
