Casos de uso

Usos del mundo real: hexstrike-ai

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

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

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

Requisitos previos

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

Flujo

Reconnaissance

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

→ 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.✓ Copiado

→ Discovered directories and potential vulnerabilities
Exploitation assistance

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

→ Login attempt results

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

Errores comunes

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

Combinar con: filesystem

Perform an authorized web application security assessment

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

Cuándo usarlo: You have a signed agreement to test a client's web application.

Requisitos previos

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

Flujo

Vulnerability scanning

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

→ List of discovered vulnerabilities with severity ratings
SQL injection testing

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

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

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

Errores comunes

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

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.✓ Copiado

Herramientas

Lo que expone este MCP

Herramienta	Entradas	Cuándo llamar
nmap_scan	target: str, options?: str	Network port scanning and service detection
nuclei_scan	target: str, templates?: str	Automated vulnerability scanning with templates

Coste y límites

Lo que cuesta ejecutarlo

Cuota de API: N/A — all tools run locally
Tokens por llamada: 500–3000 tokens per scan result
Monetario: Free — all tools are open source. Some tools (Shodan) need their own API keys.
Consejo: Run targeted scans instead of full-spectrum sweeps to reduce noise and time.

Seguridad

Permisos, secretos, alcance

Almacenamiento de credenciales: Individual tool API keys (Shodan, etc.) in environment variables

Salida de datos: 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.

Resolución de problemas

Errores comunes y soluciones

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.

Verificar: which nmap && which nuclei && which sqlmap

Scan timeout

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

Verificar: 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.

Verificar: sudo nmap -sS target

Alternativas

hexstrike-ai vs otros

Alternativa	Cuándo usarla	Contrapartida
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
