Wählen Sie Ihren Client

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

  }
}

Öffne Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Nach dem Speichern neu starten.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {

  }
}

Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

    "hexstrike-ai": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [

Klicken Sie auf das MCP-Servers-Symbol in der Cline-Seitenleiste, dann "Edit Configuration".

      ]
    }
  }
}

Gleiche Struktur wie Claude Desktop. Windsurf neu starten zum Übernehmen.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [

      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/0x4m4/hexstrike-ai"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue nutzt ein Array von Serverobjekten statt einer Map.

        ]
      }

In context_servers hinzufügen. Zed lädt beim Speichern neu.

Anwendungsfälle

Praxisnahe Nutzung: hexstrike-ai

How to solve a multi-stage CTF challenge with HexStrike AI

👤 CTF participants working on security challenges ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: You have a CTF target and need to enumerate, scan, and exploit in a structured way.

Voraussetzungen

HexStrike AI installed in a sandboxed environment — Clone and pip install in a VM or container
Target is a CTF challenge you are authorized to test — Only use on CTF platforms or labs you have permission to test

Ablauf

Reconnaissance

Run an Nmap scan on the CTF target at 10.10.10.1. Identify open ports and services.✓ Kopiert

→ Port scan results with service versions
Web enumeration

The target has a web server on port 80. Run Gobuster for directory enumeration and Nikto for vulnerability scanning.✓ Kopiert

→ Discovered directories and potential vulnerabilities
Exploitation assistance

Found a login page at /admin. Run Hydra with the top-1000 passwords list against it.✓ Kopiert

→ Login attempt results

Ergebnis: Systematic enumeration and exploitation path for the CTF challenge.

Fallstricke

Running aggressive scans that crash the CTF target — Use moderate scan speeds and timing options (Nmap -T3 instead of -T5)

Kombinieren mit: filesystem

Perform an authorized web application security assessment

👤 Security professionals with written authorization to test a web application ⏱ ~120 min advanced

Wann einsetzen: You have a signed agreement to test a client's web application.

Voraussetzungen

Written authorization for the target — Signed penetration testing agreement from the target owner
HexStrike AI configured — Install and configure in an isolated environment

Ablauf

Vulnerability scanning

Run Nuclei against https://target.example.com with default templates. Focus on critical and high severity findings.✓ Kopiert

→ List of discovered vulnerabilities with severity ratings
SQL injection testing

Test the login endpoint for SQL injection using SQLMap.✓ Kopiert

→ SQLMap results showing injectable parameters or confirming the endpoint is secure

Ergebnis: A documented list of vulnerabilities found during authorized testing.

Fallstricke

Testing outside the agreed scope — Always reference your authorization document. Only test explicitly listed assets.

Kombinationen

Mit anderen MCPs für 10-fache Wirkung

hexstrike-ai + filesystem

Save scan results and generate a penetration testing report

Run a full assessment on the target, save all results, and generate a professional pentest report as a markdown file.✓ Kopiert

Werkzeuge

Was dieses MCP bereitstellt

Werkzeug	Eingaben	Wann aufrufen
nmap_scan	target: str, options?: str	Network port scanning and service detection
nuclei_scan	target: str, templates?: str	Automated vulnerability scanning with templates

Kosten & Limits

Was der Betrieb kostet

API-Kontingent: N/A — all tools run locally
Tokens pro Aufruf: 500–3000 tokens per scan result
Kosten in €: Free — all tools are open source. Some tools (Shodan) need their own API keys.
Tipp: Run targeted scans instead of full-spectrum sweeps to reduce noise and time.

Sicherheit

Rechte, Secrets, Reichweite

Credential-Speicherung: Individual tool API keys (Shodan, etc.) in environment variables

Datenabfluss: Network scans connect to target systems. OSINT tools call their respective APIs.

⚠ This tool is designed for authorized security research, CTF competitions, and defensive analysis only. Do not use it against systems you don't own or have written authorization to test.
These are real offensive security tools — unauthorized use is illegal in most jurisdictions.
Always run in an isolated environment (VM, Docker) to prevent accidental exposure.
Some tools (Hydra, Hashcat) perform brute-force attacks — only use on systems you're authorized to test.

Fehlerbehebung

Häufige Fehler und Lösungen

Tool not found / command not available

Many tools must be installed separately on your system. Install them via your package manager (apt, brew) or from source.

Prüfen: which nmap && which nuclei && which sqlmap

Scan timeout

Reduce scan scope or increase timeout. Use -T3 for Nmap instead of default timing.

Prüfen: Try a simple ping or single-port scan first

Permission denied on scan

Some scans (SYN scan) require root. Run with sudo or switch to a less privileged scan type.

Prüfen: sudo nmap -sS target

Alternativen

hexstrike-ai vs. andere

Alternative	Wann stattdessen	Kompromiss
mcp-security-hub	You want Dockerized security tools with better isolation and CI/CD integration	Better containerization but may require more setup
mcp-kali-server	You want a lightweight API bridge to a full Kali Linux installation	Full Kali toolkit but less AI agent specialization
