🚀 SPADE

Scalable Plug-and-play Auto Detection Engine

---

SPADE is a modular vulnerability scanning framework that leverages external tools like nmap, feroxbuster, and more. It uses Python class decorators and reflection to auto-register modules for execution, making it easy to extend and customize.

---

✨ Features

• 🔌 Plug-and-play modules via class decorators
• 🔍 Built-in support for external tools (e.g. nmap, feroxbuster)
• 🧠 Reflection-based auto-discovery of plugins and their arguments
• 📦 Modern dependency management: All dependencies are declared in pyproject.toml and handled by Poetry ensuring reliable and reproducible installs
• 🚀 Easy installation via pipx (and soon Docker)
• 🤖 AI-ready: Built-in AI integrated plugins (WIP)
• 💬 Lax plugin development guidelines for rapid prototyping

---

🧐 Why?

I developed this project with a few key goals in mind:

• There’s a gap between heavyweight vuln scanners like Nessus and simple automation tools — SPADE aims to fix that by streamlining recon without taking all control away from the user.
• Most frameworks require you to learn a bunch of internal functions on top of the language itself, which slows down rapid development and scripting. SPADE is intentionally lax: you can break the rules and hack in your own logic easily.
• Many tools are still packaged improperly and can break at any moment. SPADE is packaged for pipx for reliability, and will be available as a Docker image in the future.

🚀 Getting Started

# Install with pipx (recommended)
pipx install scalable-plug-and-play-auto-detection-engine

🧩 Extending SPADE

• Add your own scanner by creating a new Python file in scanners/extensions/
• Use the @Scanner.extend decorator to register your plugin
• See the dev guide and existing plugins for examples

📦 Packaging & Development

• SPADE uses a modern dependency system (pyproject.toml) for reproducible builds
• Install with Poetry, pip, or pipx
• Docker support is planned

🔮 What’s Next?

• Support for multiple targets
• Credentialed enumeration
• Built-in AI plugins
