How I found 130+ bugs with my own Rust-based scanner

After years of bug bounty hunting, I got frustrated with existing scanners. Too slow, too many false positives.

So I built Lonkero – a Rust-powered web vulnerability scanner optimized for real-world hunting.

What makes it different:

60+ modules (XSS, SQLi, SSRF, IDOR, misconfigs)
Built for speed – handles thousands of requests
Low noise – focuses on exploitable findings

I've used it to find 130+ valid bugs across various programs.

Try Lonkero

What's your current recon/scanning workflow?

I got tired of slow, bloated scanners that spit out 500 “findings” where 490 are noise.
So I built Lonkero – a fast web vulnerability scanner in Rust.
What it does:
∙ 60+ attack modules (XSS, SQLi, SSRF, IDOR, misconfigs…)
∙ Crawls and fuzzes automatically
∙ Low false positives – focuses on real, exploitable bugs
∙ Single binary, no dependencies

Why Rust?
Speed. Memory safety. No GC pauses during large scans. It handles thousands of requests without breaking a sweat.

Quick example:

lonkero scan --target https://example.com --modules xss,sqli

Who’s it for:
∙ Pentesters who want fast recon
∙ Bug bounty hunters grinding multiple targets
∙ Devs who want to scan before shipping
I’ve found 130+ valid bugs with it across various programs.

Would love feedback from the community. What modules would you want to see next?
