quickstart

get up and running with sif in minutes.

basic scan

run a basic scan against a target:

./sif -u https://example.com

this performs a base scan checking robots.txt, common files, and basic reconnaissance.

add more scans

enable additional scan types with flags:

# directory fuzzing
./sif -u https://example.com -dirlist medium

# subdomain enumeration
./sif -u https://example.com -dnslist small

# port scanning
./sif -u https://example.com -ports common

# framework detection
./sif -u https://example.com -framework

run modules

sif has a modular architecture with yaml-based security checks:

# list available modules
./sif -lm

# run all modules
./sif -u https://example.com -am

# run specific modules
./sif -u https://example.com -m sqli-error-based,xss-reflected

# run by tag
./sif -u https://example.com -mt owasp-top10

multiple targets

scan multiple urls:

./sif -u https://site1.com,https://site2.com

or from a file:

./sif -f targets.txt

save output

save results to a log directory:

./sif -u https://example.com -l ./logs

json output

for automation, use api mode:

./sif -u https://example.com -api

full scan example

run everything:

./sif -u https://example.com \
  -dirlist medium \
  -dnslist small \
  -ports common \
  -framework \
  -js \
  -headers \
  -git \
  -am \
  -l ./logs

next steps

• usage - all command line options
• scans - detailed scan descriptions
• modules - write custom modules
