A Chromium-based web browser with built-in XSS detection and taint tracking capabilities for security testing.
Cyclops is a Chromium-based web browser with integrated XSS detection capabilities that tracks tainted data flows from sources to sinks in real-time. It helps security researchers identify potential Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities by monitoring how user-controlled data propagates through JavaScript operations during web browsing.
Security researchers, penetration testers, and web application developers who need to test for XSS vulnerabilities in web applications during development or security assessments.
Cyclops provides built-in XSS detection directly in the browser, offering more accurate taint tracking than external scanners by instrumenting the browser's JavaScript engine to monitor data flows in real-time.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Monitors tainted data flows from sources to sinks in real-time during browsing, providing immediate feedback on potential vulnerabilities as described in the key features.
Tracks complex JavaScript string operations like encodeURI and substring, with comprehensive logging in SourceSink.txt files that detail data propagation steps.
Builds detection directly into Chromium, offering more accurate tracking than external scanners by instrumenting the JavaScript engine, as per the project philosophy.
Supports numerous common XSS sources and sinks like document.URL and innerHTML, listed in the README, enhancing detection for typical web application vulnerabilities.
Requires the '--no-sandbox' flag to run, disabling a critical security feature and posing risks in untrusted or production-like environments, as noted in the user manual.
Currently only available for Windows 10, with Linux and Mac versions pending, restricting its use for cross-platform development or testing teams.
Source code is not provided, preventing transparency, security audits, customization, and community contributions, which is explicitly stated in the README.
Admits to frequent crashes, bugs, and temporary logging formats (SourceSink.txt), with optimization to JSON or other formats still in progress, as highlighted in the to-do list.
