Hello Kali Linux Development Team,
I would like to submit a request to include "Katana" into the official Kali Linux repository. Katana is a modern, highly efficient, and fast web crawler/spider developed by ProjectDiscovery. It is heavily utilized by the penetration testing and bug bounty communities due to its speed and ability to handle modern web architectures.
Below are the technical details for the tool:
- Tool Name: Katana
- Vendor/Author: ProjectDiscovery
- Tool URL / Download Location: https://github.com/projectdiscovery/katana
- License: MIT License
- Similar tools already in Kali: wget, curl, spiderfoot (for asset crawling), and various legacy web spiders.
Description:
Katana focuses on high-performance web crawling. Its key feature is the support for both standard and headless crawling (using a headless browser), allowing it to effectively parse and extract endpoints from modern Single Page Applications (SPAs) and heavy JavaScript environments.
Technical Notes for Packaging:
- The project is written in Go (Golang). The packaging process will require a modern Go compiler environment (Go 1.22+ or newer) as a build-dependency.
- It actively receives updates and is highly stable for production security pipelines.
Thank you very much for your time and effort in keeping Kali Linux updated! |
