navig-devnet

Developer/ops network inspection: DNS/WHOIS/SSL lookups and an SSRF-guarded HTTP repeater — its own navig-devnet command, and navig devnet inside navig.

Works on its own — its own CLI, no navig required · v0.5.0 · not on PyPI yet (install from source below)

On its own (no navig needed)

pip install "git+https://github.com/navig-run/plugins#subdirectory=navig-devnet"
navig-devnet --help   # no navig needed

With navig

pip install "git+https://github.com/navig-run/plugins#subdirectory=navig-devnet"
navig devnet --help
Commands
Command What it does
navig devnet api Discover and parse an OpenAPI/Swagger spec; list its endpoints.
navig devnet crawl Map a site: a polite, same-origin, robots-respecting read-only crawl.
navig devnet diff Compare two recorded responses (status, headers, body).
navig devnet dns Resolve DNS records (MX/TXT/NS/… with dnspython; A/AAAA always).
navig devnet history List recent repeater requests in this space.
navig devnet http Send an HTTP request and read the full response (the repeater).
navig devnet ssl Read a server's TLS certificate (issuer, validity, SANs, days left).
navig devnet whois WHOIS registration record (bare-TCP; no system whois binary needed).

Developer/ops network inspection for NAVIG — the first slice of the DevNet Lab. Runs standalone (navig-devnet) or inside navig (navig devnet), and the agent can call the same lookups.

What's here

Lookups (read-only):

Command Agent tool What it does
navig devnet dns <domain> [--type MX] [--resolver 1.1.1.1] net_dns Resolve DNS records (A/AAAA always; MX/TXT/NS/CNAME/SOA/CAA/PTR/SRV with dnspython)
navig devnet ssl <host> [--port 443] net_ssl Read a server's TLS certificate: issuer, validity, days-left, SANs
navig devnet whois <domain> net_whois WHOIS record (bare-TCP; no system whois binary needed)

The lookups resolve names and read a server's own certificate — nothing sends a payload or mutates a target.

HTTP repeater:

Command Agent tool What it does
navig devnet http <METHOD> <url> [-H "K: V"] [-d body] [--no-redirect] net_http Send/edit/resend a request; read status, headers, timing, body
navig devnet history [-n 20] — Recent requests in this space
navig devnet diff <#> <#> — Compare two recorded responses

The repeater is SSRF-guarded (shared with navig via navig-sdk): the initial URL and every redirect hop are re-validated, so a 302 to a private/metadata address is blocked, not followed. Private/internal targets need --allow-private (or net.ssrf.allow_private_network). The net_http agent tool is classified dangerous — the agent asks before sending on your behalf. Add --json to any command for machine-readable output.

Crawl & API discovery (read-only):

Command Agent tool What it does
navig devnet crawl <url> [--pages 25] [--depth 2] [--off-origin] [--ignore-robots] net_crawl Map a site: a polite same-origin, robots-respecting GET crawl → pages with status, title and links
navig devnet api <url> net_api_discover Find and parse an OpenAPI/Swagger spec (well-known locations) → title, servers, endpoints

Both are read-only (GET-only) and SSRF-guarded like the repeater — private/ internal targets need --allow-private. The crawl honours robots.txt by default, stays on the start URL's origin, and caps pages/depth so it maps a service rather than hammering it. net_crawl/net_api_discover are safe agent tools (no payload, no mutation).

Per-space activation

devnet is a toggleable module. A workspace scopes it through its space.json:

{ "modules_disabled": ["devnet"] }   // off in this space: no CLI verb, no agent tools
{ "modules_enabled":  ["devnet"] }   // force on in this space

The toggle governs the devnet CLI verb, the devnet agent toolset, and (later) the DevNet Lab tile together — not just a sidebar view.

Roadmap

HTTP repeater, browser traffic inspection (headers/bodies + a DevNet Lab OS tile), crawl/API-discovery, and — owner-approved and authorization-gated — active scanning and an intercepting proxy (DANGEROUS + owner-only, per the engagement authorization record). See the project plan.

Install

pip install navig-devnet          # standalone
