API-aware content discovery using Swagger/OpenAPI-derived wordlists. Sends properly formatted requests with correct HTTP methods, headers, and parameters. Use after identifying API targets or extracting Swagger specs from source maps.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# kiterunner -- API Content Discovery Content discovery that understands API route structures. Each wordlist entry carries HTTP method, headers, path, and parameters -- not just a path string. ## When to Use - Target exposes API endpoints (REST, GraphQL gateway, microservices) - Swagger/OpenAPI spec extracted from source maps or recon - Traditional bruting (feroxbuster/gobuster) returned only generic 404s - Need to discover undocumented API routes with correct methods ## When NOT to Use - Static file discovery (use feroxbuster/gobuster instead) - Target behind aggressive WAF with rate limiting (kr is noisy) ## CLI Reference | Command | Purpose | |---------|---------| | `kr scan <target> -w routes.kite` | API scan with .kite wordlist (method+headers+params per route) | | `kr brute <target> -w wordlist.txt` | Traditional path brute (like gobuster) | | `kr kb replay "OUTPUT_LINE" --proxy=http://localhost:8080` | Replay finding through Caido | | `kr kb convert wordlist.txt wordlist.kite` | Convert between txt/json/kite formats | | `kr wordlist list` | List available Assetnote wordlists | ## Key Flags (scan/brute) | Flag | Purpose | |------|---------| …

How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/kiterunner@sha256:d534c647364110dfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.1ccb5b1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
