Probe a list of hosts from the file 'hosts.txt' and display their HTTP status codes and titles.

Frequently Asked Questions about httpx

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check live web servers and HTTP status codes for a bulk list of URLs?▼

To check HTTP status codes for bulk URLs, you can probe a list of hosts or URLs to identify live web servers and gather detailed information. This process quickly scans numerous URLs for live responses and extracts status codes.

Can I extract page titles and fingerprint web technologies from a list of subdomains?▼

Yes, you can extract page titles and fingerprint web technologies from a list of subdomains. The probing process identifies which subdomains are actively serving web content and detects the technologies they are running.

What is HTTP probing and when do I need it for reconnaissance?▼

HTTP probing is the process of sending requests to web servers to identify live hosts and gather details like status codes and titles. You need it for reconnaissance when you have a large list of hosts and must determine which ones serve web content.

Do I need to install httpx separately to use it for probing hosts from a file?▼

Yes, you need httpx to be installed or available in the system's PATH to use it for probing hosts. The Skill relies on the external httpx tool to perform fast HTTP probing and gather web server information.

What limitations should I expect when performing bulk URL processing for web server fingerprinting?▼

When performing bulk URL processing for web server fingerprinting, limitations depend on the external httpx tool's capabilities and your system environment. The Skill only probes provided URLs to extract status codes, titles, and technologies, requiring valid input lists.

What is the best way to identify which subdomains are actively serving web content?▼

The best way to identify subdomains serving web content is to perform fast HTTP probing on the host list. This extracts HTTP status codes, page titles, and web server details to show which subdomains have live web responses.
