Hugin Scan

Hugin — scan

Active and passive vulnerability scanning. Let Hugin check an endpoint or corpus automatically.

Load the tools

Call tools/list with _meta.bundle = "scan". You get ~5 tools, ~3.2k tokens: scanner, scanner_audit_items, scan_optimizer, synaps, live_audit.

Workflow

  1. Choose the target — a flow, a set of flows, or an endpoint.
  2. Pick a profile — quick, light, normal, thorough, critical-only, stealth.
  3. Run — call scanner. It dispatches active checks with concurrency, rate limiting, OOB.
  4. Monitor — findings appear in real-time. Use scanner_audit_items to group by check.
  5. Triage — confirm findings with repeater. False positives get marked.

Rules

  • Authorised targets only. Stay in scope.
  • Passive analysis (live_audit, flow_analysis) sends no traffic — always safe.
  • Active checks send real requests — be deliberate, respect rate limits.
  • scan_optimizer prioritizes endpoints likely to have bugs — use it for large corpora.
  • The scanner marks tentative/false_positive findings — don't re-report without confirming.
  • Evidence over assertion — reproduce every finding before claiming it.
