Welcome to CortexSec β€” How to Use This Workbench (Beginner & Pro Mode)

This tool gathers passive Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) using 7 public security APIs directly from your browser. Because it queries public registries (like Google DNS, Certificate Transparency logs, and FIRST.org), it never sends attack traffic to the target serverβ€”making it 100% safe and legal for learning, defensive auditing, and reconnaissance.

STEP 1: Map the Attack Surface

Beginner: Enter a website domain in Module A to see its servers, subdomains, and email security grade.
Pro: Enumerate CT shadow assets, EPP locks, and BGP AS-path upstreams.

STEP 2: Prioritize Real CVEs

Beginner: Switch to Module B to check if a software library has known security bugs and if hackers actively use them.
Pro: Correlate OSV advisories with FIRST.org 30-day EPSS weaponization scores.

STEP 3: Test Leaked Passwords Safely

Beginner: Use the k-Anonymity Lab to check if a password was leaked online without ever sending your password over the internet.
Pro: Verify SHA-1 5-byte prefix buckets via Web Crypto API.

STEP 4: Export Executive Dossier

Beginner: Go to Module C to download or print a clean summary report of everything you discovered.
Pro: Generate Markdown/PDF pentest deliverables for stakeholders.

Ready. All 7 keyless public security pipelines online.
🎯 MODULE A GUIDE: What happens when you click "Launch Kill-Chain Recon"?

For Beginners: Every website on the internet relies on a phonebook called DNS (to find IP addresses), SSL Certificates (for HTTPS padlocks), and Internet Service Providers (ASNs). This module automatically looks up all three and draws a visual map of the company's digital footprint.
For Red/Blue Teams: Automates passive Phase-1 Reconnaissance by chaining dns.google → crt.sh → rdap.org → stat.ripe.net → HIBP to identify shadow dev/staging subdomains, missing DMARC/SPF controls, and upstream BGP transit providers.

TARGET://
Presets:
1. Google DoH IDLE

Looks up server IPs (A/AAAA), mail servers (MX), & security rules (TXT/CAA).

2. crt.sh CT Logs IDLE

Finds hidden subdomains by searching public SSL certificate logs.

3. Domain RDAP IDLE

Modern WHOIS: checks domain registrar, expiry date & transfer locks.

4. IP Netblock RDAP IDLE

Identifies which cloud or datacenter owns the server's IP range.

5. RIPE BGP & ASN IDLE

Maps how internet traffic routes to this server across global networks.

6. HIBP Breaches IDLE

Checks if this domain has suffered any historical public data breaches.

FORCE-DIRECTED ATTACK SURFACE TOPOLOGY

Click & drag any node to inspect its technical details β€’ Scroll or use buttons to zoom

How to read this map: The Cyan center node is your target domain. Purple nodes are subdomains discovered via SSL certificates (often exposing forgotten dev/test portals). Green nodes are live IP addresses, connected to Red ASN network nodes showing which internet backbones carry the traffic.
Root Domain CT Subdomain IPv4/IPv6 Host MX / NS Server ASN / BGP Peer

Email Spoofing & TLS CAA Posture

Can attackers send fake phishing emails pretending to be this domain?

GRADE: --
Why this matters: Without strict SPF and DMARC records, anyone can send an email that looks like [email protected].
  • β€’ SPF (-all is best): Lists which servers are allowed to send email for this domain.
  • β€’ DMARC (p=reject is best): Tells Gmail/Outlook to block emails that fail SPF/DKIM checks.
  • β€’ CAA: Restricts which Certificate Authorities can issue HTTPS certificates for this domain.

RDAP Ownership & RIPE BGP Network Telemetry

Beginner: Shows where the domain is registered, when it expires, and which datacenter/ISP hosts it.
Pro: Check for clientTransferProhibited locks (prevents domain hijacking) and inspect BGP Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) & upstream peers for DDoS resilience.

1. Google DoH Live DNS Records

0 records

A/AAAA = Server IP addresses β€’ MX = Mail servers β€’ NS = Name servers β€’ TXT = Verification & SPF rules.

Launch a scan to enumerate A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, and CAA records.

2. crt.sh Shadow Subdomains & CAs

0 subdomains

Every HTTPS certificate ever created is logged publicly. Attackers & defenders check this list to find forgotten dev., vpn., or staging. servers.

Certificate transparency logs will appear here.

3. HIBP Domain Breach Cross-Check

0 breaches

Checks HaveIBeenPwned's public breach registry to see if accounts registered under this domain were exposed in major historical hacks.

Cross-checks target domain against HIBP public breach archive.
