roundTripper.RoundTrip injects the global cookie, custom headers and
user agent on every hop, including redirect requests. because that
injection sits below the client's redirect handling, it undoes
net/http's own stripping of Cookie/Authorization/Www-Authenticate
when a redirect crosses hosts, so a target that 302s to an attacker
host would receive the scan's secret cookie and bearer token.
req.Response is only set on requests net/http built to follow a
redirect, and its Request field is the prior hop, so comparing hosts
there is enough to detect a cross-host hop without any extra state.
skip the sensitive header classes on that hop and keep injecting
everything else as before.
the shared transport paced outbound requests but ignored a server
asking it to slow down, so a 429 or 503 came straight back as a failed
probe. back off and retry both through the one chokepoint every scanner
shares, honoring Retry-After (delta-seconds or http-date) and falling
back to capped exponential backoff.
gated behind -max-retries (default 2, 0 disables). bodyless GETs and
GetBody-backed requests replay safely; anything else is returned as-is.
the shared transport was a bare DefaultTransport.Clone() with the stock
MaxIdleConnsPerHost=2, and call-sites only close response bodies without
draining them - so go could never return a conn to the idle pool and every
request re-dialed. high thread counts just thrashed the dialer.
- plumb Threads through Options into buildTransport; size MaxIdleConnsPerHost
to the worker count (floored) so concurrent workers on one host pool instead
of re-dialing, MaxIdleConns=512, MaxConnsPerHost=0, IdleConnTimeout=90s,
ForceAttemptHTTP2. the socks5 branch gets its own keepalive net.Dialer so it
doesn't lose os-level pooling under proxy.Direct.
- add DrainClose to read (capped) and close a body so the conn is reusable.
- benchmark proves it: 50 sequential requests reuse 1 conn tuned vs 50 bare.
every scanner spun up its own &http.Client, so there was no single place
to apply a proxy, custom headers, a cookie or a rate limit. add an
internal/httpx package that builds one configured transport at startup and
hand it to every scanner via httpx.Client(timeout), keeping behavior
identical when nothing is set (plain client when Configure was never
called).
- httpx.Configure wires -proxy (http/https/socks5), -H/--header, -cookie
and -rate-limit into a package-level RoundTripper that paces via a
rate.Limiter and only sets headers the caller hasn't already, so a
scanner's explicit api key still wins.
- route the scan/wordlist downloads that used http.DefaultClient through
the shared client too; ports tcp dialing is left untouched.
- clamp -threads to a floor of 1: it feeds wg.Add across the scanners, so
0 was a silent no-op and a negative value panicked the waitgroup.
