BugBounty Arsenal is a free, open-source web application security scanner aimed at bug bounty hunters and small teams who can't justify enterprise DAST. Most scanners stop at "here's what's broken." This one adds an AI Fix Advisor that, for every finding, explains how to fix it (with code/config)...

BugBounty Arsenal's answer
BugBounty Arsenal's answer
Choose it if you want capable web security scanning without an enterprise price tag. Tools like Burp Suite Pro, Detectify, Intruder or Acunetix cost hundreds to thousands a year and are closed-source; BugBounty Arsenal is free, fully open-source and self-hostable, so your scan data never has to leave your infrastructure.
What you get that most don't: an AI advisor that explains how to fix each finding — and, for authorized testing, how to reproduce it for a report — so you go from "what's broken" to "here's the fix" in one click. Add scheduled scans that alert only on new findings, CI/CD gating with SARIF, and detectors tuned to keep false positives low, and it fits a bug bounty / small-team workflow without lock-in.
It won't replace deep manual testing in Burp, but for automated coverage, continuous monitoring and fast remediation guidance, it delivers a lot for zero cost.
BugBounty Arsenal's answer
Bug bounty hunters and independent security researchers who need fast automated coverage plus remediation guidance, and small teams, startups and solo developers who can't justify enterprise DAST tools like Burp Suite Pro or Detectify. It also fits security-minded developers and DevOps engineers who want to gate CI/CD pipelines, and self-hosters or privacy-conscious teams who need their scan data to stay on their own infrastructure. Because it's free and open-source with an AI advisor that explains findings, it's approachable for people newer to appsec too.
BugBounty Arsenal's answer
BugBounty Arsenal started as a solo project, out of a simple frustration: good web security tooling was either locked behind expensive enterprise licenses like Burp Suite Pro and Detectify, or it dumped a wall of findings on you and walked away — leaving the hardest part, actually fixing the issue, entirely up to you.
I wanted something a bug bounty hunter or a small team could just run for free, self-host if they cared about privacy, and actually learn from. So I built it in the open: 53 detectors, scheduled scans that alert only on what changed, CI/CD gating and SARIF export — and then the part I'm most proud of, an AI advisor that explains how to fix every finding and, for authorized testing, how to reproduce it for a report.
It's still evolving. Recently I spent weeks cutting false positives hard, because noise is the real enemy of any scanner. It's free, open-source, and I'm building it based on what real users tell me is missing.
BugBounty Arsenal's answer
The backend is Python with Django and Django REST Framework, using Celery + Redis for asynchronous scanning and PostgreSQL for storage. The frontend is React with Tailwind CSS. It's deployed with Docker Compose behind Nginx, runs on an ASGI stack (Daphne) with WebSockets for live scan progress, and uses JWT + API-key auth. The AI advisor calls an LLM over an OpenAI-compatible API, and findings export to SARIF for GitHub Code Scanning.
