Caido is a lightweight web security auditing toolkit and HTTP proxy for intercepting, viewing, and modifying traffic between browsers and web servers. It targets security professionals and bug bounty hunters with features like traffic interception, replay, automation workflows, HTTPQL filtering, and an extensible plugin ecosystem.
Use cases
- intercept and modify HTTP requests between browser and server
- find vulnerabilities in web applications during pentests
- replay and iterate on requests for manual security testing
- automate batch attacks with custom payloads
- filter and search HTTP history with HTTPQL
- map endpoints and application structure with a sitemap
- extend testing workflow with community plugins
- run AI-assisted agents to draft payloads during bug bounty hunting
When to choose
- you need a modern, fast alternative to Burp Suite for web app auditing
- you are a bug bounty hunter wanting AI-assisted and workflow-automated testing
- you want a headless, API-first proxy to build security automation on
- you want a beginner-friendly web hacking toolkit with a free tier
When to avoid
- you need a fully open-source tool with permissive licensing - the core is proprietary with a freemium model
- you only need automated vulnerability scanning rather than manual/semi-manual testing
- you require deep mobile or non-HTTP protocol testing
- you need long-term stability guarantees - the tool ships monthly releases with evolving features
