Installation

Installing secator

<details> <summary>Pipx</summary>
pipx install secator
</details> <details> <summary>Pip</summary>
pip install secator
</details> <details> <summary>Bash</summary>
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freelabz/secator/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
</details> <details> <summary>Docker</summary>
docker run -it --rm --net=host -v ~/.secator:/root/.secator freelabz/secator --help

The volume mount -v is necessary to save all secator reports to your host machine, and--net=host is recommended to grant full access to the host network.

You can alias this command to run it easier:

alias secator="docker run -it --rm --net=host -v ~/.secator:/root/.secator freelabz/secator"

Now you can run secator like if it was installed on baremetal:

secator --help
</details> <details> <summary>Docker Compose</summary>
git clone https://github.com/freelabz/secator
cd secator
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose exec secator-client secator --help
</details>

Note: If you chose the Bash, Docker or Docker Compose installation methods, you can skip the next sections and go straight to Usage.

Installing languages

secator uses external tools, so you might need to install languages used by those tools assuming they are not already installed on your system.

We provide utilities to install required languages if you don't manage them externally:

<details> <summary>Go</summary>
secator install langs go
</details> <details> <summary>Ruby</summary>
secator install langs ruby
</details>

Installing tools

secator does not install any of the external tools it supports by default.

We provide utilities to install or update each supported tool which should work on all systems supporting apt:

<details> <summary>All tools</summary>
secator install tools
</details> <details> <summary>Specific tools</summary>
secator install tools <TOOL_NAME>

For instance, to install httpx, use:

secator install tools httpx
</details>

Please make sure you are using the latest available versions for each tool before you run secator or you might run into parsing / formatting issues.
