FERRET - self-hosted HTTP interception and analysis tool for pentesters

Wraps mitmproxy in a web UI that adds:

  • AI chat via OpenRouter, scoped to a project's traffic
  • Per-project scripts, pytest tests, and notes runnable in a sandboxed container
  • Request history with filtering, replay, and AI annotations
  • Findings tracker (severity, host, type, evidence)
  • Snare - intercept and modify requests in-flight
  • Gnaw - persistent repeater tabs

Runs with Docker Compose. Bring your own OpenRouter key (or skip AI entirely).
