The information in this document applies to version 7.0.11 of Syhunt Hybrid.

This document presents the technical specifications of Syhunt Hybrid, an augmented HAST (Hybrid Application Security Testing), DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing), SAST (Static Application Security Testing), MAST (Mobile Application Security Testing) and DWET (Dark Web Exposure Testing) tool of high accuracy, depth and coverage that identifies vulnerabilities and weaknesses in applications, and data leaks related Internet domains.

a. License Rights

• Syhunt Hybrid software licenses usually have a term of validity of 12 months.
• The licenses include version update and technical support rights, in addition to providing technical documentation in English in PDF and HTML formats.
• The licenses allow an unlimited number of scans against an unlimited number of Assets per year, which must be launched from a single device or (if additional seats are ordered) more Customer devices. Each license include two web interface users - an admin and a secondary user. Additional users can be purchased if needed, expanding the number of users.
• The licenses allow the integration of the tool with AI (Artificial Intelligence) through the configuration of an API key, which for data control and privacy reasons, must be received and purchased separately and directly from an AI supplier supported by the tool. Syhunt currently only supports OpenAI.

b. Architecture

Syhunt Hybrid is an application security assesment software tool, which is hybrid, on-premise, modular, asynchronous and multi-process:

• It is hybrid, that is, it combines different analysis techniques, such as DAST, OAST, SAST, MAST, FAST and DWET (detailed below).
• It is on-premise, that is, the solution is deployed on the Customer's premises, so that the analyzed source code and analysis results do not leave its internal network.
• It is modular with a single management console that aggregates the configuration management features of its modules and analysis results presentation features.
• It is asynchronous, that is, the solution works with several scans simultaneously, without the need of waiting for the end of each analysis.
• It is multi-tabbed and multi-process, that is, each browser tab or scan is a different process in the operating system.
• It comes with a web interface and a command line interface (CLI) that allows the launching of dynamic and source code scans and other tasks.

Supported Types of Analysis

Syhunt Hybrid performs the following types of analysis:

SAST	Static analysis of the security of a web application's source code
MAST	Static analysis of the security of a mobile application's source code (Android & iOS) and Android APK file
DAST	Dynamic analysis of the security of a web application security with deep crawling and parameter injection
OAST	Augmented dynamic analysis of the security of a web application security with out-of-band (OOB) techniques
HAST	Hybrid-Augmented analysis of the security of web applications, on which the results of the static analysis are automatically used to enhance its augmented dynamic analysis
DWET	Surface to dark web exposure scoring of Internet domains
FAST	Forensic analysis of the security of a web application through the analysis of web server log files

G. System Requirements

Syhunt Hybrid (including its Community Edition) can be installed on 64-bit versions of Windows or Linux, but it is able to analyze applications designed for any target platform, including Android, Apple iOS and macOS, BSD, Linux, Windows, Solaris and Unix, independently of the platform it is executed from.

1. 4GB of available RAM (8GB recommended)
2. 2GB of free disk space*
3. Internet Connection (recommended for code scans and dynamic scans and some features)
4. One of the following compatible 64-bit operating systems:
   1. Windows 10 or 11, or Windows Server 2012 to 2022 (x64 or ARM64). On Windows Server, it is important to ensure that you have the WebView2 Runtime installed. If the WebView2 Runtime is not installed, Syhunt will issue a warning when launching its user interface. You can find it in the Evergreen Standalone Installer.
      1. Make sure you have Edge preloaded on system startup. On Windows 10, Edge preload is already a default system setting. On Windows Server, you have to enabled the Edge preload manually. On Windows 11, our tests showed that disabling the Edge preload would not make any difference.
   2. Ubuntu Server or Desktop 18 or higher
   3. CentOS 7 or 8 (Minimal or Everything)
   4. Any unofficially supported OS**, like a Linux distribution such as the ones listed below, or macOS Big Sur or higher (Intel).
5. (Optional) GIT on Linux/macOS or GIT for Windows (optional for GIT repository scans)
6. Java or Java Headless installed on Linux/macOS
7. If native binary is not available for your specific OS type or distribution yet, Wine64 Stable (3, 4 or 5) is required to be installed.
8. (Optional) Java 8 or higher (optional for Android APK file scan)
9. (Optional) Python 3.7.0 or higher, Selenium module and Chrome browser version 109 or higher (optional for extended scripting capabilities)
