The original

Replacements

Listings that take over the same core job as httpx.

  • WhatWeb

    Command-line web scanner that fingerprints the technologies running on a website.

    WhatWeb focuses on fingerprinting website technologies through hundreds of plugins with adjustable aggression levels, under GPL-2.0 instead of MIT.

  • tlsx

    Inspect TLS connections and certificates from the terminal.

    tlsx gathers TLS protocol and certificate details for lists of hosts rather than HTTP response information, from the same style of MIT-licensed command-line tooling.

  • Web Check

    Open-source, self-hostable tool that analyses a website's DNS, security, headers and other public details.

    Web Check gives a one-page web report on a single site's DNS, headers and security and can be self-hosted, rather than bulk probing lists of hosts from a terminal.
