gowitness is a Go-based command-line utility that uses Chrome Headless to take screenshots of websites, supporting scans of URL lists, CIDR ranges, and Nmap/Nessus results. It stores gathered data (headers, cookies, console logs) in SQLite, JSONL, or CSV and includes a web-based report viewer with a full API.
Use cases
- take screenshots of a list of websites from the command line
- screenshot every host in a CIDR range during a security assessment
- generate a visual report of web assets from nmap or nessus scan results
- fingerprint web technologies across many targets
- capture headers, cookies, and console logs while screenshotting sites
- browse screenshot results in a web gallery with an API
When to choose
- you need fast, accurate bulk website screenshots for reconnaissance or asset inventory
- you want screenshot results stored in a queryable SQLite database with a report viewer
- you need to ingest targets from nmap, nessus, or CIDR ranges
- you want a self-contained Go binary or Docker image for headless Chrome screenshotting
When to avoid
- you need a screenshot API embedded in your own application rather than a standalone tool
- you need pixel-perfect rendering of complex JavaScript apps beyond what headless Chrome provides
- you need a GUI-first screenshot tool rather than a CLI workflow
- you require platforms beyond Linux, macOS, and mostly-working Windows support
