## What it is
Rad (Radium) is a browser-based web crawler built for security scanning, driving a real Chrome browser to discover URLs and requests across a site from a single starting URL. It can export crawled URLs or full requests as text or JSON and integrates with the xray vulnerability scanner via proxy.

## Use cases
- crawl a website to discover all URLs for security testing
- feed discovered requests into a vulnerability scanner like xray
- crawl sites that require manual login
- export crawled endpoints as JSON for further analysis
- map the attack surface of a web application

## When to choose
- you need a browser-driven crawler that handles JavaScript-heavy sites
- you want to combine crawling with xray-based vulnerability scanning
- you need configurable crawl scope, depth, and rate limits for authorized testing

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight crawler without a Chrome dependency
- your target sites are not authorized for security testing
- you need a maintained tool with active releases and support
