XRay is a Go-based CLI tool for network reconnaissance and OSINT that enumerates subdomains via DNS bruteforcing, gathers open-port intelligence from Shodan, grabs service banners, and presents results in a web UI. The repository is legacy code, as the project has been reimplemented and expanded in Rust as 'legba'.
Use cases
- enumerate subdomains of a target domain via DNS wordlist bruteforcing
- gather open ports and service fingerprints for discovered hosts using Shodan
- grab banners from HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, FTP, SMTP, MySQL, POP and IRC services
- collect historical DNS data for a domain via ViewDNS
- map a public network's attack surface during initial recon
- inspect HTTPS certificate chains to discover additional subdomains
When to avoid
- you want active development or new features - use the successor project legba instead
- you need stealth or anonymity - connections are made directly from your host and may be flagged
- you require port scanning without third-party API dependencies
- unauthorized scanning may be illegal or against the target's policies
