With a dynamic and intelligent architecture mirroring the decision-making processes of a human penetration tester, application accelerates skill acquisition, by bridging the knowledge gap between novice and expert  penetration testers. As the NSA’s cyber-security director, Dave Lube states in one of his interviews that “AI brings unprecedented opportunity, but also can present an ocean of opportunities for malicious activity”, HackerGPT Lite aims to equip users to stay ahead, by empowering users to perform a wide range of security assessments. With its conversational interface, the AI companion delivers real-time insights using powerful tools. This allows users to efficiently perform security assessments and manage complex OSINT tasks with ease, all in a streamlined and intuitive manner. It's like a swiss army knife for cyber security enthusiasts, something that gives you access to a variety of tools in one place, but without the headache of learning how to use each one individually.

What OSINT and advanced discovery tools does HackerGPT Lite provide? HackerGPT Lite is an innovative conversational AI tool designed for OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and discovery tasks. With a motive to empower regular users to ask their security-related questions, HackerGPT Lite generates real-time actionable insights using a variety of autonomous tools. With key features such as performing network scanning, subdomain enumeration, domain registration analysis, IP geo-location, and advanced dark web search, HackerGPT Lite provides a comprehensive toolkit to help you in initial stages of the security assessment.

This powerful platform empowers users to identify potential vulnerabilities without any technical expertise, aiming to make offensive security accessible to more and more people.

Core Features: The Dark Web search: This tool is a powerful ethical OSINT solution designed for deep web search investigations. Users can now simply input prompts like “search the dark web for mentions of info@whitehacklabs.com” to easily search through ".onion sites" for any mentions of the given target.

While traditional approaches required manual navigation of the "Tor network" to locate relevant ".onion sites" for searching, which is both time-consuming and fraught with risks of exposure to malicious environments, our darkweb search tool significantly reduces risks to investigators, ensuring a faster and safer dark web searching.

The Network Mapping: The application currently provides a limited version of Nmap with TCP, UDP and Sync Scan capabilities. By writing a simple prompt such as “Perform a UDP scan on hackergpt.app”, users can now perform real-time scans and perform discovery of services, software and their versions exposed to the internet.

Subdomain Enumeration: Subdomain enumeration can be defined as the process of identifying all the subdomains associated with a given primary domain. These Subdomains are basically extensions of the domain name, and often host separate applications, services, or parts of a website, such as api.organization.com. In penetration testing, this is an important initial step, as it gives a overview about various attack surfaces. Often these subdomains host different services and sometimes they may have weaker security controls or unpatched vulnerabilities, that can be discovered using HackerGPT Lite as well. By making these subdomains evident, you can start a penetration test with a full picture of target's inventory. With a simple prompt like "Find all available subdomains for https://whitehacklabs.com", users can now get all publicly available subdomains.

With this reconnaissance tool, users can gain a complete understanding of the underlying domain structures, offering a clearer and more detailed view of specific target infrastructures. By having a more holistic and comprehensive perspective on the target’s security posture, users can now make informed decisions to address any potential vulnerabilities.

Domain registration: Domain registration is used for examining a target's domain registration details such as ownership, registrar, creation, expiration dates, and DNS records. In this discovery step, valuable information about the target is revealed, including contact details, hosting providers, or misconfigured records, which attackers could potentially exploit.

Using a prompt like "Get domain registration details for whitehacklabs.com" users can get details like registrar, WHOIS server, name server, status etc, and can now easily identify any signs of phishing domains.

Additionally by examining these subdomain registrations, users can now easily uncover any forgotten or outdated subdomains, and misconfigured DNS entries, that could expose any sensitive information.

IP geo-location: IP geo-location gathering task is used for determining the physical location and associated details for a given IP or domain address. With the help of this tool, users can now easily retrieve geo-location details associated to a given IP or domain address, such as the country, city, region, postal code, latitude, longitude, etc of any given target. With a simple prompts like "Fetch real-time geolocation for IP 3.168.51.78 " or "Fetch real-time geo-location for whitehacklabs.com", users can now easily gather geo-location information.

This step is essential for OSINT reconnaissance tasks as it helps users trace the origin of any given IP or domain address, making it convenient to identify the location of any potential threat actors.

What are the Current limitations:

While HackerGPT Lite offers a suite of OSINT and discovery tools, it is carefully designed to gather only publicly available information. This tool is mainly for novice security enthusiasts, and is not intended for any professional penetration testing activities. The tool, can not be used for performing any "hacking" or "malicious tasks" and is strictly created for awareness and educational purpose.

Conclusion

HackerGPT LIte, is a powerful AI companion, with a chat like interface, aimed to conveniently conduct autonomous OSINT and discovery task. By explicitly requesting users' authorization, the application creates a secure environment for performing open-source information gathering tasks during reconnaissance.
