Get started (30 seconds)

uv tool install agentic-bug-hunter   # install the CLI (or: pipx install agentic-bug-hunter)
bughunter setup                      # connect a free AI provider

Then hunt — straight from your terminal:

bughunter hunt target.com            # recon → find → validate → report

…or drive it from inside Claude Code:

/hunt target.com

The CLI and AI hunting work on their own. Full recon also uses external tools (subfinder · httpx · nuclei · katana · ffuf · nmap) — install them with install_tools.sh from the repo. Output lands in ~/.bughunter/ .

What Is This?

Agentic Bug Hunter finds real, reportable bugs, not theoretical ones. Point it at a target and it runs recon, tests for vulnerabilities, validates findings against a strict gate, and writes a submission-ready report for HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, or Immunefi.

It remembers everything: patterns found on one target inform the next, and sessions pick up where they left off.

Works as a Claude Code plugin, or as a fully standalone CLI (bughunter) with no subscription required.

Standalone Mode: No Subscription Required

You no longer need Claude Code, Claude Pro, or any paid AI subscription.

Install once, use the bughunter command from any terminal on your machine:

git clone https://github.com/Awarexone/Agentic-Bug-Hunter.git
cd Agentic-Bug-Hunter
./install.sh --agent standalone

Rerun the same command after pulling updates. The installer detects and refreshes the active managed bughunter command, including older installations under /usr/local/bin or ~/.local/bin, while preserving your saved provider configuration in ~/.bughunter/config.json.

To uninstall the standalone command while keeping its configuration:

./uninstall.sh --agent standalone

Use --purge-config to also delete ~/.bughunter/config.json. The uninstaller also supports claude, opencode, pi, codex, agents, and all targets.

Free AI Providers (auto-detected, free-first priority)

BugHunter auto-detects providers in this order: Ollama → Groq → DeepSeek → … → OrcaRouter → OpenRouter → Fluxion → Claude → OpenAI. LiteLLM is opt-in (selected explicitly or when LITELLM_API_KEY is set) so it never preempts a provider you already configured.
