🚀 Strix v0.4.0 - Live Stats Panel, Persistent Reports & IP Scans
Changelog
Strix v0.4.0 adds file-based instructions for richer pentest configs, real-time persistence for findings, a live stats panel in both CLI and TUI, new prompt modules, better rate-limit handling, and IP address scanning support.
🔥 Features
📊 Live Agent Stats Panel
New interactive stats panel in both TUI and CLI shows:
- Vulnerabilities found so far
- Tokens used
- Cost estimates
- Active agents/tools
(Shoutout to @AlexanderDeBattista #134)
💾 Real-Time Results Persistence
Every finding is now written to disk as it’s discovered, so reports survive crashes, bad exits, or terminal issues. One of the most requested features. 🙌
📁 File-Based Instructions (--instruction)
Define detailed pentest instructions in a file instead of a single CLI string – perfect for longer scopes, rules of engagement, and target notes.
🚦 Fixes Excessive Rate-Limit Issues
Improved handling for lower LLM rate limits (especially Anthropic), reducing throttling errors and flaky runs. (Shoutout to @SellMeFish)
🧩 New Prompt Modules
Added prompt modules to the collection for:
- Open Redirect
- Subdomain Takeover
- Info Disclosure
(Shoutout to @Trusthoodies #132)
🌐 IP Address Scanning
You can now scan raw IP addresses directly, making it easier to test services that aren’t fronted by hostnames.
🛠️ Fixes & Improvements
- More robust handling of long-running scans
- Minor UX and CLI polish
