Explore its capabilities and harness the wealth of information at your fingertips.

Installation

You will need a SecurityTrails API key to use this tool. If you’re using it for bug bounties, I’d recommend checking out the bug bounty hunter’s toolkit if you’re a bug bounty hunter. It provides access to the majority of data that you will need for a good price. See the details below.

Once you have an API key, install golang, then:

#Go version > 1.17
go install -v github.com/hakluke/haktrails@latest
~/go/bin/haktrails

# Go version < 1.17
# https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation

go get github.com/hakluke/haktrails
~/go/bin/haktrails

I’d recommend adding ~/go/bin/ to your $PATH if you haven’t already, then you can just run haktrails.

Autocompletion (Optional)

ZSH and Bash autocompletion is available Just add this to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc

source ~/go/src/github.com/hakluke/haktrails/haktrails-completion.zsh
or
source ~/go/src/github.com/hakluke/haktrails/haktrails-completion.bash
