XSS Hunter Express is a self-hosted service for tracking and detecting blind cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities via injected payloads that report back when they fire. It deploys in about five minutes with docker-compose, includes a web control panel, PostgreSQL storage, automatic TLS, and optional email notifications.

Use cases

  • detect blind XSS vulnerabilities during bug bounty hunting
  • self-host an XSS payload callback server
  • get email alerts when an XSS payload fires
  • capture screenshots and page context from XSS payload executions
  • set up a low-maintenance XSS testing infrastructure on a VPS

When to choose

  • you need a quick, self-hosted blind XSS detection service
  • you want email notifications and a control panel for payload fires
  • you're doing bug bounty or penetration testing and need payload callbacks on your own domain

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose web vulnerability scanner rather than blind XSS tracking
  • you can't host a public-facing server with a dedicated hostname and DNS control
  • you need a managed/SaaS solution without server maintenance
