Intelligence Tab

Cross-tool intelligence aggregation: structure maps, access matrices, target profiles, and 40+ panels.

Overview

The Intelligence tab aggregates structured data from all active tools into unified views. Rather than opening each tool's raw output files, you see correlated, filterable panels organized by domain: network topology, web application structure, API maps, OSINT intelligence, wireless environments, database schemas, cloud inventories, endpoint assessments, and more.

Data populates in real-time as tools complete. Panels that have no data (because the relevant tool hasn't run) show a placeholder.

Target filter: When a tool produced results for multiple targets (e.g., Fracture tested three web apps), a target dropdown lets you filter to one target or view all.

Exclusion filtering: All intelligence panels automatically exclude entries from hosts in the project's exclusion list. This happens server-side — excluded hosts never appear in any panel.

Network Intelligence (SS3)

Panels populated from Scattershot3 network reconnaissance:

Host Inventory net-hosts
All discovered hosts with IP, hostname, OS fingerprint, and open port count. Built from SS3's correlated report and inventory/hosts.json.
Service Map net-services
All identified services across all hosts. Shows service name, version, port, and protocol. Useful for identifying outdated service versions across the estate.
Software Inventory net-software
Detected software and technology stack from HTTP headers, banner grabs, and web fingerprinting (webanalyze, whatweb). Groups by product name and version.
Port Matrix net-ports
Grid view of all hosts × ports. At a glance, see which hosts share common open ports. Highlights unusual ports and non-standard service-to-port mappings.

OSINT Intelligence (OSift)

Panels populated from OSift open-source intelligence gathering:

Domains & WHOIS osint-domains
Discovered domains and subdomains with WHOIS registration data (registrar, creation/expiry dates, name servers, registrant org, privacy service status). Multi-domain support when the engagement covers multiple root domains.
DNS Records osint-dns
Aggregated DNS records per domain — A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, SRV, and more. Collected from OSift's per-domain dig + dnsx enrichment pass.
Certificates (CT Logs) osint-certs
SSL/TLS certificates from Certificate Transparency logs (crt.sh), parsed certificates from direct connections, and issuer chain data. Shows common name, SAN entries, issuer, and validity dates.
Emails osint-emails
Email addresses harvested from OSINT sources. Each email is tagged with its root domain and source. Useful for phishing scope validation and social engineering preparation.
Breach Data osint-breaches
Breach exposure data from DeHashed and other OSINT breach databases. Shows which email addresses or domains have appeared in known data breaches.
People & Employees osint-people
Employee names and roles discovered via LinkedIn, OSINT databases, and email pattern matching. Useful for social engineering scope and pretexting.
Phone Numbers osint-phones
Phone numbers associated with the target organization, extracted from WHOIS, directories, and OSINT sources.
Typosquatting osint-typosquat
Domain typosquatting analysis via dnstwist. Shows look-alike domains that could be used for phishing or brand impersonation, with registration status and IP resolution.
Wayback Machine osint-wayback
Historical snapshots of target web properties from the Wayback Machine. Useful for discovering deprecated endpoints, old login pages, and exposed files.

Web Application Intelligence (Fracture)

Panels populated from Fracture web application testing:

Structure Map fr-structure
Application sitemap generated by Fracture's spider. Shows all discovered pages, forms, endpoints, and their relationships as a hierarchical tree. Includes HTTP method, response code, and content type for each node.
Access Matrix fr-access
Role-based access control matrix. Shows which authenticated roles can access which endpoints. Highlights authorization bypass opportunities where a lower-privileged role can reach admin-only pages.
Authentication Status fr-auth
Current authentication state for each target. Shows whether login succeeded, which method was used, session cookie validity, CSRF token status, and any auth-related errors encountered during testing.
Target Profile Profile
Aggregated target host profile: OS fingerprint, port count, detected services, software stack. Built from SS3 correlated data when available, or from Fracture's own reconnaissance.
Screenshots fr-screenshots
Browser screenshots captured during Fracture's spider phase. Visual evidence of each discovered page — useful for report appendices and for identifying pages that require manual review.

API Intelligence (Siphon)

Panels populated from Siphon API testing:

API Map si-structure
Complete API endpoint map with HTTP methods, parameter schemas, and response codes. When an OpenAPI spec was provided, shows spec-defined endpoints alongside discovered endpoints — highlighting rogue (undocumented) endpoints.
API Inventory si-api
Inventory of all tested API endpoints with their authentication requirements, rate limiting status, and test coverage. Shows which endpoints were tested, which were skipped, and why.
Access Matrix si-access
API-specific access control matrix. Which API keys, tokens, or roles can reach which endpoints. Highlights BOLA (Broken Object Level Authorization) and function-level access control issues.
Authentication Status si-auth
API authentication state: token validity, refresh status, rate limit headers, and any auth failures encountered during testing.

Firewall Intelligence (Bastion)

Panels populated from Bastion firewall policy auditing:

Firewall Rules fw-rules
Complete firewall ruleset with source/destination zones, ports, protocols, and actions (permit/deny). Highlights overly permissive rules (any-any, broad CIDRs).
Zone Map fw-zones
Network zone topology — which zones exist, their trust levels, and inter-zone traffic policies.
Policy Compliance fw-compliance
Compliance assessment against CIS benchmarks, NIST 800-41, and PCI DSS requirements for firewall configuration.
Configuration Summary fw-config
Firewall device configuration overview: firmware version, management interfaces, logging settings, NTP, and administration access methods.

Cloud Intelligence (Forge)

Panels populated from Forge cloud infrastructure assessment:

Cloud Resources cloud-resources
Inventory of cloud resources: compute instances, storage buckets, databases, load balancers, and networking components across AWS, Azure, or GCP.
IAM Matrix cloud-iam
Identity and Access Management analysis: users, roles, policies, and their effective permissions. Highlights over-privileged accounts and unused credentials.
Service Dashboard cloud-services
Cloud service utilization dashboard showing which services are active, their configurations, and potential security misconfigurations.
