XATTACKER includes a powerful vulnerability scanner capable of identifying weaknesses across a wide range of web applications. It performs in-depth analysis to uncover common and complex security flaws before launching any attacks.
Once a vulnerability is found, XATTACKER takes over with a fully automated exploitation process. There's no need for manual payload crafting or guesswork—just input the target, and the tool does the heavy lifting for you.
Utilizing multithreading, XATTACKER can perform multiple operations in parallel, significantly speeding up both scanning and exploitation processes. Ideal for large-scale assessments or time-sensitive tasks.
Specifically optimized for popular CMS platforms like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, XATTACKER adapts its methods to exploit known vulnerabilities in these systems effectively.
After gaining access to a vulnerable system, XATTACKER offers the unique capability to patch the exploited vulnerability. This can be used in controlled environments for ethical hacking, red teaming, or self-assessment purposes—helping secure systems after demonstrating the risk.
XATTACKER is built to aggressively target and exploit the most widely used CMS platforms on the internet. From detection to domination—here are the systems it’s ready to breach and 50 more
XATTACKER is optimized for Linux, offering the best performance and stability. Whether on Kali, Ubuntu, or any other distro, it runs natively with full feature access — ideal for serious penetration testers.
XATTACKER works perfectly on Android via Termux. Run scans, exploit targets, and use all features directly from your phone — no root required. Fast, lightweight, and always with you.
XATTACKER runs smoothly on Windows using any Perl environment. All features are fully supported — from scanning to exploitation — with no need for additional setup beyond Python and dependencies.
XATTACKER features a powerful Dorker module capable of extracting thousands of potential targets using custom dorks. By leveraging more than 50 different search engines, this tool automates the process of discovering vulnerable websites across a wide range of CMS platforms and web technologies. The Dorker supports advanced filtering, customizable user-agents, proxy rotation, and keyword injection — making it an essential tool for large-scale reconnaissance and target acquisition. Whether you're searching for admin panels, vulnerable scripts, or outdated plugins, the Dorker can find them fast and efficiently.
The latest version of XATTACKER is more powerful than ever — combining speed, precision, and automation into one compact offensive toolkit. With updated exploit modules, improved CMS detection, and a smarter Dorker engine that pulls targets from over 50 search engines, XATTACKER is ready to dominate any surface it touches. Whether you’re launching mass scans, exploiting weak configurations, or harvesting credentials from forgotten endpoints — XATTACKER Now delivers unmatched performance across web apps, servers, and
modes, allowing you to unleash its full power based on your system’s capabilities. Multithread Mode ensures rapid scanning and exploitation by handling multiple targets or tasks simultaneously within the same process, using lightweight threads. Multiprocess Mode provides better stability and full CPU core utilization by launching separate processes for each heavy operation — perfect for large-scale attacks or resource-intensive tasks. Whether you're targeting one domain or a thousand, XATTACKER adapts to your workflow with speed, precision, and efficiency.
Take full control of your operations through a powerful and intuitive web-based dashboard. Monitor scans, launch exploits, manage sessions, view reports, and access tools — all from a centralized interface. The dashboard is designed for speed, security, and real-time performance, giving you full visibility and command over every action.

XAttacker is very simple to use. The tool can scan a large number of websites provided in a file using three simple steps, i-e (i) create list of target websites (ii) run XAttacker.pl, and (iii) provide path to the list of target websites when prompted. One downside we noticed is that sometimes the tool fails to detect the CMS and stops the scanning process. we will be rating this tool with 3.5 out of 5 bunnies.

XAttacker is a Website Vulnerability Scanner & Auto Exploiter developed by Mohamed Riahi
XATTACKER tool is an automated approach tool used for scanning and also exploiting the target web applications. XATTACKER tool is developed in the Perl language and it’s faster to use. You need to specify the target domain list and the rest of the work is done by the tool. This tool has the capability to detect the CMS and try to find the vulnerabilities in it. XATTACKER tool is available on GitHub, its free version is open source but you need to pay for the Premium version.
XAttacker is a website vulnerability scanner and auto exploiter which scans websites for different vulnerabilities depending on the content management systems which they use. After finding the vulnerabilities, the tool will generate an exploit for the website and send the user the link of the exploit.
