We are in the beta phase of the tool and would like to know if you are facing any installation issues with our framework. If so, please post your issues on our discord.

Summary

Mantis is a command-line framework designed to automate the workflow of asset discovery, reconnaissance, and scanning. It takes the top-level domains as input, then seamlessly progresses to discovering corresponding assets, including subdomains and certificates. The tool performs reconnaissance on active assets and concludes with a comprehensive scan for vulnerabilities, secrets, misconfigurations and phishing domains - all powered by a blend of open-source and custom tools.

Features 🚀

• Automated Discovery, Recon & Scan
• Distributed Scanning (split a single scan across multiple machines)
• Super-Easy Scan Customisation
• Dashboard Support
• Vulnerability Management
• Advanced Alerting
• DNS Service Integration
• Integrate new tool (existing and custom) in minutes

Installation ⚙️

Mantis supports multiple installation types. Installing Mantis via Docker would be a good start to get a hang of the framework.

Considering that Mantis also includes MongoDB and AppSmith, we have provided a shell script that installs all the components.

Minimum System Requirements (Single Machine Scan) 🖥️

• Supported OS: Ubuntu, macOS
• RAM - 4GB
• Cores - 2
• Storage - 16GB

Warning 🚨 - The framework combines a number of open source and custom tools and runs them in parallel, hence the framework is CPU intensive and is recommended to run the framework on a dedicated VM.
The -tc option controls the parallel processing. If you run it from a machine with low configuration, set the -tc to 1 or 2. If you have a machine with a higher configuration, you can increase the -tc count.

Docker

Setup Video - Click Here

Clone the Mantis repository

git clone https://github.com/PhonePe/mantis.git

cd into the Mantis directory

cd mantis/setup/docker

Run the respective docker setup file based on your OS

./docker-setup-macos.sh

./docker-setup-ubuntu.sh

For uninstalling Mantis (remove all the resources created by installation), run the following command in the same directory

docker compose down

Dashboard Setup 📊

Once the docker setup is complete, please run a scan and follow the below instructions to setup the dashboard.

Warning 🚨 - Run atleast one scan before setting up dashboard using the command

mantis onboard -o org_name -t example.in   

• The dashboard will be accessible at http://mantis.dashboard:1337
• Once you access this dashboard URL, you should be prompted to create an AppSmith account.
• Remember/bookmark this base url as AppSmith uses a multi-application construct with "My first application" as the default. We will be importing the appropriate Application and Pages in the following steps.
• Navigate to Applications with the "a_" icon on the upper left or using the link included.
• In the upper right of the Applications page, there is an orange button "Create new" as well as 3 dots, click the orange "Create new" button to expand a drop-down.
• The drop-down menu has 3 items: "Application", "Templates", and "Import" ... select "Import" by clicking it.
• From there, import the template JSON file. It is located in the cloned repo: in the dashboard_templates folder. (mantis\dashboard_templates\Mantis Dashboard.json)
• You will be asked to enter db information for the included MongoDB that was created. Enter the following:
  • host - mantis.db
  • port - 27017
  • default db - mantis
• By default this places you in "edit mode" for the application layout. To view the application and your results from the previous scan, in the upper right of the screen click the "Deploy" button. It has a small rocket icon next to it. This should launch a new tab/window where you can navigate through the results of your scan(s).

Run a scan 🔍

You want to onboard an org with its TLDs/IPs/IP-CIDRs/IP Range for the first time, use the onboard mode. This runs the scan on the default workflow.

TLD

mantis onboard -o org_name -t example.in   

IP

mantis onboard -o org_name -t 10.123.123.12

IP-Range

mantis onboard -o org_name -t 203.0.113.0-10

IP-CIDR

mantis onboard -o org_name -t 203.0.113.0/24

Onboard Known Assets and Scan

mantis onboard -o org_name -f input.txt

Add a new subdomain to existing org

mantis onboard -o org_name -t subdomain.example.in --sub

Scan on all assets belonging to an organisation

Now that you have onboarded, you just need to run scheduled scans for an org, you can just use the scan mode

mantis scan -o org_name

Scan on all assets belonging to an organisation and app

 mantis scan -o org_name -a app_name

Scan an existing subdomain for an org

mantis scan -o org_name --sub subdomain.example.in
