Why debugHunter?

Finding debug endpoints and exposed configuration files is a common technique in bug bounty hunting. debugHunter automates this process by passively scanning every website you visit, alerting you when it discovers:

🔧 Debug Parameters — ?debug=1, ?env=dev, ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=phpstorm

📨 Sensiti — X-Forwarded-Host: localhost, X-Original-URL: /admin

📁 Exposed Paths — /.env, /.git/config, /actuator/env, /phpinfo.php

All findings are classified by se so you can focus on critical issues first.

Features

| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| Multi-Factor Detection | Combines status codes, content analysis, headers, and debug indicators |
| Se Classification | Critical, High, Medium, Low — prioritize what matters |
| Smart Rate Limiting | Exponential backoff prevents WAF blocks |
| Response Diff | Compare original responses side-by-side |
| Search & Filter | Find specific domains or keywords across all findings |
| Configurable Modes | Smart, Aggressi, Keywords-only |
| Low False Positives | Dynamic content filtering remo, tokens, sessions |

Installation

Option 1: Clone Repository

1. Open chrome://extensions/
2. Enable De mode (top right)
3. Click Load unpacked
4. Select the debugHunter folder
5. Pin the extension to your toolbar

Option 2: Download Release

1. Download the latest .zip from Releases
2. Extract and load via chrome://extensions/ → Load unpacked

Usage

1. Browse normally — debugHunter scans passively in the background
2. Check the badge — Number indicates findings count (color = se)
3. Click the icon — View findings by category: Paths, Headers, Parameters
4. Review & — Click any finding to open in new tab

Configuration

Access settings via the gear icon in the popup:

| Setting | Default | Description |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| Detection Mode | Smart | Smart / Aggressive / Conser / Keywords-only |
| Similarity Threshold | 0.90 | How similar responses must be to ignore |
| Min Length Diff | 200 | Minimum bytes difference to flag |
| Check Interval | 8 hours | Re-check interval for same URL |
| Base Delay | 300ms | Delay between requests (auto-adjusts) |
| Whitelist | Empty | Domains to skip |

Testing

A dynamic test server is included to the extension works correctly:

Alternati server, limited functionality):

The dynamic server (server.py) ser content based on debug params/headers:

Normal request: Clean production page (no sensitive data)

With debug params: Debug page with exposed credentials, stack traces, etc.

This mimics real-world behavior where debug endpoints only expose sensitive data when triggered.

Test URLs:

— Normal page

— Debug mode triggered

— Sensitive path

Technical Details

Manifest V3 — Chrome MV3 compliant

Permissions — storage, tabs, <all_urls>

Background — Service Worker (e)

Privacy — All analysis happens locally, no external requests

Changelog

v2.0.6

Reduced false positives on dynamic sites (login pages, news sites, etc.)

- Redirect detection: Filters paths that redirect to catch-all destinations
- Natural measurement: Detects highly dynamic sites
- Smart mode now requires clear e (debug indicators or status changes)
- Debug indicators must be NEW (not present in original response)

Fixed path detection on non-standard ports (e.g., localhost:9000)

New dynamic test server (test/server.py) that mimics real-world behavior

Impro detection (content length comparison)

v2.0.0

Complete rewrite with Manifest V3

Multi-factor detection engine

Se classification system

Response diff

Search and filter functionality

Smart rate limiting with exponential backoff

Dynamic content filtering

4 configurable detection modes

New dark UI

46 sensiti (up from 17)

Optimized requests with HEAD checks and caching

v1.x

Initial release with basic parameter detection
