-# REDflare
+# REDflare v2
-web assessment framework with attack-surface mapping and sensitive-exposure detection
\ No newline at end of file
+REDflare v2 is a scope-first orchestration framework for authorized web application reconnaissance and security assessment. It adds a shared attack-surface graph and a standards-backed test registry while preserving the original REDflare project unchanged.
+
+
+
+
+## What v2 adds
+
+- A bounded same-origin crawler for links, forms, and execution paths
+- A deduplicated endpoint inventory shared by all native modules
+- Form parameter, HTTP method, content type, and authentication-requirement mapping
+- JavaScript route extraction from same-origin script assets
+- OpenAPI 2.x and 3.x endpoint and parameter ingestion
+- Explicit opt-in GraphQL schema introspection with bounded response sizes
+- Native browser request/response ingestion and runtime evidence
+- Sensitive-data exposure checks across HTML, JavaScript bundles, and mapped GET responses
+- Exact-version component fingerprinting with live NVD CVE correlation and CVSS context
+- Stable `RFV2-*` test IDs mapped to OWASP WSTG v4.2, ASVS 5.0.0, CWE, and OWASP API Security 2023
+- Per-run `attack_surface.json` and `test_registry.json` artifacts
+- Offline visual investigation console with CVE nodes, grouped evidence, URL pagination, and force/tree/radial layouts
+
+## Current capabilities
+
+- Optional JSON allowlist and explicit public-target gate
+- Per-run manifests, module output, JSONL findings, summaries, artifacts, and HTML reports
+- Native DNS/TLS reconnaissance
+- HTTP status, redirect, response metadata, and security-header analysis
+- Rate-limited path discovery with wildcard-response filtering
+- Correlation of related observations into higher-confidence findings
+- Native browser-runtime capture derived from GATEkeeper
+- Native unauthenticated-surface triage derived from noauth_finder
+- Native repository secret intelligence derived from REAPER
+- Standard-library-only core; no required runtime dependencies
+
+## Run locally
+
+The bundled launcher uses the system Python and requires no installation:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/ekomsSavior/REDflare-v2.git
+cd REDflare-v2
+./bin/redflare --help
+```
+
+Optional editable installation (requires the operating system's `python3-venv` package):
+
+```bash
+cd REDflare-v2
+python3 -m venv .venv
+.venv/bin/pip install -e .
+.venv/bin/redflare --help
+```
+
+## Quick start
+
+Run only against systems you own or have explicit written authorization to test.
+
+Launch REDflare with no arguments for the guided interface:
+
+```bash
+./bin/redflare
+```
+
+The main menu also discovers recent runs and launches the visual investigation
+console without requiring command-line flags. Both ordinary paths and local
+`file:///...` URLs are accepted.
+After a guided scan, REDflare offers to open that exact completed run immediately.
+
+The wizard walks through:
+
+1. Full, web, or quick assessment mode
+2. One or more targets, or a target-list file
+3. Optional strict JSON scope file
+4. Explicit authorization and public-scope confirmation
+5. Browser/service-probing permission for full mode
+6. Output, concurrency, timeout, rate, and path settings
+7. Optional wordlist and associated GitHub repositories
+
+Full mode runs the complete pipeline automatically for each target:
+
+```text
+DNS/TLS → HTTP headers → surface/forms/redirects → application mapping
+ → path discovery → native browser capture → native no-auth triage
+ → NVD CVE correlation → sensitive-exposure analysis → correlation
+ → optional native repository intelligence → unified report
+```
+
+Flags remain available for repeatable automation and CI workflows.
+
+During a run, REDflare streams stage transitions, DNS/TLS results, HTTP status,
+surface counts, path-probe progress, normalized browser request/response events,
+elapsed times, and failures. Sub-tool banners and per-tool summaries are suppressed;
+raw module evidence remains in the evidence folder. Reporting appears once, after the
+complete pipeline finishes, as a full module-by-module assessment dossier. The
+terminal and HTML reports include every module's observations, findings, errors,
+timing, and artifact paths followed by consolidated, deduplicated findings.
+
+```bash
+./bin/redflare modules
+./bin/redflare doctor
+./bin/redflare tests
+
+./bin/redflare scan http://127.0.0.1:8000 \
+ --authorized \
+ --profile web
+```
+
+## Visual investigation console
+
+Open any completed REDflare run as a local, read-only graph workspace:
+
+```bash
+./bin/redflare visualize runs/run_20260620_120000
+```
+
+The console binds only to `127.0.0.1`, reads existing run artifacts, and does not
+send assessment data to a cloud service. It includes:
+
+- Force-directed, hierarchy-tree, and radial layouts
+- Typed nodes for targets, endpoints, parameters, schemas, findings, exposures, CVEs, and standards
+- Search across URLs, evidence, parameters, severities, and test IDs
+- Per-layer filtering and connected-node highlighting
+- Zoom, pan, drag, fit-to-view, and keyboard-accessible node inspection
+- A grouped evidence panel with collapsible sections, deduplicated/paginated URLs, and copy controls
+
+Choose a different loopback port or suppress automatic browser launch:
+
+```bash
+./bin/redflare visualize runs/run_20260620_120000 --port 9000 --no-browser
+```
+
+Tune application mapping limits explicitly:
+
+```bash
+./bin/redflare scan https://authorized.example \
+ --authorized --allow-public --profile web \
+ --max-crawl-pages 50 --max-crawl-depth 3 \
+ --max-scripts 30 --max-schema-documents 10
+```
+
+GraphQL introspection is disabled by default and requires a separate opt-in:
+
+```bash
+./bin/redflare scan https://authorized.example \
+ --authorized --allow-public --profile web \
+ --graphql-introspection
+```
+
+Run REDflare's native repository intelligence:
+
+```bash
+export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_token"
+./bin/redflare intel \
+ --authorized \
+ --repo https://github.com/owner/repository
+```
+
+Public targets require an additional acknowledgement:
+
+```bash
+./bin/redflare scan https://authorized.example \
+ --authorized \
+ --allow-public \
+ --profile web
+```
+
+## Scope files
+
+Use a JSON scope file to prevent accidental target drift:
+
+```json
+{
+ "allowed_hosts": ["app.example.test", "api.example.test"],
+ "allow_public": false
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+./bin/redflare scan https://app.example.test \
+ --authorized \
+ --scope examples/scope.example.json
+```
+
+## Profiles
+
+| Profile | Modules |
+|---|---|
+| `quick` | passive recon, HTTP headers, CVE correlation, and root-response exposure analysis |
+| `web` | quick plus surface analysis, application mapping, path discovery, and mapped-response exposure analysis |
+| `full` | web plus native browser-runtime capture and unauthenticated-surface triage |
+
+Both `web` and `full` include application mapping. The `full` profile additionally runs REDflare's native browser-runtime and unauthenticated-surface modules and merges their evidence into the shared graph. No external GATEkeeper, noauth_finder, or REAPER installation is required. When Playwright/Chromium is available, the runtime module executes JavaScript in a real browser; otherwise it automatically uses REDflare's native HTTP runtime capture rather than skipping the module.
+
+## CVE intelligence
+
+Every profile passively identifies exact component versions disclosed in HTTP
+headers, generator metadata, and common JavaScript/CSS asset names. Exact CPEs are
+correlated with the NVD CVE API 2.0. Product names without versions are retained as
+ordinary observations and do not produce speculative CVE findings.
+
+Matches include the CVE ID, NVD description and status, CVSS score/vector,
+fingerprint evidence, affected CPE, dates, and NVD/CVE/vendor references. They are
+printed live, saved in `findings.jsonl` and module data, rendered as clickable links
+in `report.html`, and represented as dedicated CVE nodes in the visual console.
+NVD-provided CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities fields are highlighted when present.
+
+Unauthenticated NVD access is deliberately paced to respect public API limits. For
+larger authorized portfolios, set an NVD API key before scanning:
+
+```bash
+export NVD_API_KEY="your-nvd-api-key"
+./bin/redflare scan https://authorized.example --authorized --allow-public --profile web
+```
+
+Use `--max-cve-products` and `--max-cves-per-product` to tune collection volume.
+
+## Sensitive-data exposure checks
+
+Every profile checks in-scope responses for credential patterns, private keys,
+credentialed database URLs, JWTs, recognized password-hash formats, sensitive
+JavaScript assignments, and private/internal IP addresses. Web and full profiles
+inspect the mapped GET surface, including same-origin JavaScript bundles and path
+discovery hits.
+
+Each match is printed during the run and included in the terminal dossier,
+`report.html`, `findings.jsonl`, the module result, and a dedicated masked artifact:
+
+```text
+artifacts/sensitive_exposure//exposures.json
+```
+
+Credential and password-hash values are masked by design. Reports retain the
+location, line number, redacted context, value preview, and a SHA-256 fingerprint
+for verification and deduplication. Private/internal IP addresses are retained in
+full because they are the disclosure evidence itself. A private IP appearing in a
+response is reported as information disclosure; REDflare does not label it IDOR
+without an authorization comparison proving object-level access failure.
+
+Path discovery accepts any user-provided wordlist:
+
+```bash
+./bin/redflare scan http://127.0.0.1:8000 \
+ --authorized \
+ --profile web \
+ --wordlist /path/to/paths.txt \
+ --rate 2 \
+ --max-paths 500
+```
+
+## Run layout
+
+```text
+runs/run_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS/
+├── manifest.json
+├── findings.jsonl
+├── summary.json
+├── report.html
+├── attack_surface.json
+├── test_registry.json
+├── modules/
+└── artifacts/
+```
+
+Every module emits the same finding structure, including target, module, category, severity, confidence, description, evidence, tags, timestamp, and stable fingerprint.
+
+## Testing
+
+Tests use a local HTTP fixture and do not contact public infrastructure.
+
+```bash
+python3 -m unittest discover -v
+python3 -m compileall -q redflare tests
+```
+
+## Standards registry
+
+`redflare tests` prints the machine-readable registry. Every emitted finding from a registered check receives a stable test ID and versioned standards metadata. The registry intentionally pins WSTG v4.2 and ASVS 5.0.0 identifiers so future standards releases cannot silently change report meaning.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+- Add SQLite indexing, SARIF, and a local dashboard
+- Add resume/checkpoint support and richer cross-module correlation
+- Add signed plugin manifests and module capability declarations
+
+## Disclaimer
+
+REDflare is intended solely for authorized security testing, defensive research, and education. Users are responsible for defining and respecting legal scope.
