# Kestrel

**LLM-Assisted Bug Bounty Hunting Platform for Kali Linux**

> ⚠️ **This tool is for authorized bug bounty hunting only.** Only use on programs where you have explicit permission.

## Overview

Kestrel automates the discovery, validation, and exploitation of vulnerabilities in authorized bug bounty programs. It integrates with platforms like HackerOne and Bugcrowd, enforces strict scope validation, and **requires human authorization for all exploitation attempts**.

Built following the "Intent is the New Skill" methodology - where human operators provide high-level intent and AI handles the technical execution.

## Features

- 🎯 **Platform Integration** - Connect to HackerOne, Bugcrowd, and more
- 🔍 **Automated Recon** - Native Kali tool execution (nmap, gobuster, nikto, etc.)
- 🔗 **CVE Correlation** - Match findings to known vulnerabilities
- 🤖 **LLM-Assisted Analysis** - Intelligent exploit planning with Claude
- 🛡️ **Authorization Gate** - Human approval required for all exploits
- 📊 **Web Dashboard** - Visual program browsing and hunt management
- 📝 **Report Generation** - Platform-ready submission reports

## Requirements

- **Kali Linux** (tested on 2024.x)
- **Python 3.11+**
- **Anthropic API Key** (for LLM features)
- **Platform API Keys** (HackerOne, Bugcrowd)

## Quick Start

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/example/kestrel.git
cd kestrel

# Check tool availability
./toolcheck.sh --install

# Install Python dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Configure credentials
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key-here"
export HACKERONE_API_KEY="your-key-here"
export HACKERONE_USERNAME="your-username"

# Run the application
kestrel
```

## Safety

Kestrel enforces multiple safety measures:

1. **Scope Validation** - Every action validates against program scope
2. **Authorization Gate** - Human approval required before any exploit
3. **Audit Logging** - All actions logged with timestamps
4. **Rate Limiting** - Respects program-specific rate limits
5. **Fail Closed** - Any validation error = deny
