🚀 Installation (Recommended: pipx)

Use pipx for a clean, isolated global installation:

# Install pipx (if not already)
sudo apt install pipx
pipx ensurepath
source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc

# Install GhostPath
pipx install GhostPath

✅ Run from anywhere:

GhostPath

Use pip for easy and quick installation:

# install GhostPath
pip install GhostPath

If your OS does not support direct pip installation, use a virtual environment for installation

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Note that if you use a virtual environment you can only use the tool inside that environment. For global use try pipx.

---

🐍 Running without pipx (Direct Script Mode)

If you prefer not to use pipx or pip, you can run GhostPath directly using Python:

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/atharvbyadav/GhostPath.git
cd GhostPath

2. (Optional) Create a virtual environment

Highly recommended to isolate dependencies.

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

3. Install the dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the GhostPath CLI shell

python3 main_cli.py

• Wayback Machine
• URLScan.io

timetrail --target example.com
timetrail --target example.com --source wayback --output urls.json --format json

---

🌐 domainscope

Find subdomains and related DNS data.

domainscope --target example.com
domainscope --target example.com --output domains.txt

---

📜 certtrack

Gather subdomains from SSL/TLS certificate transparency logs.

certtrack --target example.com
certtrack --target example.com --output certs.csv --format csv

---

🔓 pathprobe

Actively probe common paths/endpoints on a web app using HTTP requests.

pathprobe --target https://example.com
pathprobe --target https://example.com --wordlist lists/path-wordlist.txt --output result.json --format json

If no wordlist is passed, it will fallback to: GhostPath/lists/path-wordlist.txt
