🦅 Hx0鹰眼 - 全栈式轻量抓包与 AI 安全审计扩展(V1.0.5)
离线安装指南
本次
v1.0.5版本在v1.0.4(油猴脚本、AI 调脚本、拦截可靠性、Firefox 对齐)基础上,重点升级 AI 任务台 与 Skills 知识库,并补齐 高级编解码 / 智能解码 能力。一句话:任务过程更可读、知识可 AI 生成、编解码与报告更专业。
🚀 主要更新
🧠 1. AI 任务台全面升级(本版核心)
v1.0.5 把 AI 任务台从「能跑任务」升级为 可读、可追、可交互的专业工作台——执行过程与最终报告分开呈现,工具调用、真实测试、阶段推进一目了然。
核心能力
- 执行日志 → 时间轴卡片流:阶段 / AI / 测试 / 工具调用 / 警告分色展示;工具调用可展开 JSON;测试胶囊嵌在日志中可点开看包;
- 日志与报告左右分栏,中间分隔条可拖拽调整宽度;
- 任务背景 AI 理解:启动前解析「仅测试 / 禁止 / 偏好」等策略,约束后续 payload 与工具选择;
- 报告增强:输出漏洞清单 + 请求/响应证据,减少空泛结论;
- 内置
crypto.logic.analyze(加密逻辑研判)与codec.transform(AES/DES/RSA/SM 等高级编解码),与重放台能力对齐。
适用场景
- 授权渗透:需要看清 AI 每一步做了什么、测了哪些包、得出什么证据;
- CTF / 加密题:任务中自动研判 sign/token、编解码验证,并在报告里留证据链;
- 长任务复盘:时间轴日志便于回溯「卡在哪一步、调了哪些工具」。
简单理解
以前 AI 任务日志像大段纯文本,现在像 可扫读的时间轴工作台。
左边看过程,右边看报告,中间还能拖——任务跑起来,心里更有数。
📚 2. Skills 知识库加厚 + AI 生成技能
v1.0.5 在 v1.0.4 Skills 基础上 大幅加厚内置知识,并新增 AI 生成技能,让知识库不仅能读,还能自己长。
核心能力
- 内置子模块扩容至 渗透 19 + CTF 28(含
js-reverse、ai-site-workflow、misc-encoding、AI 赛道 4 模块等); - 每个主 Skill 新增 「智能启用」 开关:控制任务中途是否动态追加子模块;
- AI 生成技能(专业版):自然语言生成单个 Skill 或技能集合(2–6 个),可保存为独立 Skill、内置库子模块,或追加到已有导入 Skill。
适用场景
- 团队沉淀测试方法论:把常用流程写成 Skill,任务启动时一键注入;
- 遇到新题型 / 新漏洞类型:用 AI 快速生成专题 Skill 或子模块,再导出备份;
- CTF 多方向切换:按需勾选渗透 / CTF 子模块,任务中途智能追加相关知识。
简单理解
Skills 是 AI 的「作战手册」;v1.0.5 手册更厚,还能用 AI 自己写新章节。
内置库够广,临时场景也能 AI 生成补丁知识,不必从零手搓 Markdown。
🔐 3. 编解码能力补齐
v1.0.5 把 重放台、AI 任务、页面脚本 的编解码能力打通,轻量解码与高级加解密各就其位。
核心能力
- 重放台:补齐 AES / DES / RSA / SM 与智能套娃解码;
- 内置脚本「智能解码助手」(默认启用):网页选中文本即弹出解码面板,自动尝试 Hex / Base64 / Base32 / URL / ROT13 等,识别 MD5 / SHA 等哈希;
- 高级 AES / 套娃等仍走重放台或详情内联「加密&编码」,与 AI 任务
codec.transform能力对齐。
适用场景
- CTF misc / 流量题:选中密文快速试解码,复杂链路再进重放台或 AI 任务;
- 渗透测试:响应里混编 base64、JWT、自定义加密,边抓边解;
- 日常浏览:看到可疑字符串,选中即解,不必切工具站。
简单理解
选中即解 交给智能解码助手;AES / RSA / 套娃 交给重放台和 AI 任务。
轻活轻做,重活有专业链路,编解码不再来回跳窗口。

📦 重要安装与升级提醒
为保证插件可以长期稳定使用,强烈建议大家优先使用 .zip 压缩包解压后进行安装,不要直接使用单个 .crx / .xpi 文件作为主要安装方式。
目前 Hx0 鹰眼尚未在官方插件商店上架,部分浏览器对未上架插件、单包插件或非商店来源插件会有更严格的限制。尤其在 Chrome / Chromium 系浏览器中,直接安装单个 .crx 文件可能会出现:
- 插件被浏览器自动禁用;
- 重启浏览器后插件失效;
- 升级后原插件识别状态变化;
- 本地缓存、授权状态或会员权益识别异常。
因此推荐使用以下方式:
下载
.zip压缩包 → 解压到固定目录 → 在扩展管理页加载解压后的文件夹。
升级新版本时,也建议使用新版压缩包解压后,覆盖原来的插件目录,然后回到扩展管理页面刷新插件或重新加载插件。
这样可以尽量保持插件目录、扩展识别信息和本地缓存的一致性,避免因为删除重装、路径变化或单包安装导致会员权益、授权状态、历史配置等信息丢失。
简单来说:
首次安装用 ZIP,升级版本用 ZIP 覆盖原目录。不要频繁删除重装,也不要随意移动插件文件夹。
📊 浏览器兼容性与推荐安装方式总览
| 浏览器类型 | 推荐安装方式 | 优点(Pros) | 缺点 / 注意事项(Cons) |
|---|---|---|---|

🦅 Hx0 HawkEye - Lightweight Full-Stack Packet Capture & AI Security Auditing Extension (V1.0.5)
Offline Installation Guide
This
v1.0.5release builds onv1.0.4(Tampermonkey scripts, AI script dispatch, capture / intercept reliability, Firefox alignment) with major upgrades to the AI Task Console and Skills knowledge base, plus advanced codec / smart decode capabilities. In one sentence: more readable task runs, AI-generated skills, and more professional codec and reporting workflows.
🚀 Main Updates
🧠 1. AI Task Console Overhaul (Core Release)
v1.0.5 turns the AI Task Console into a readable, traceable, interactive workspace — execution timeline and final report side by side, with tool calls, real tests, and stage progress clearly visible.
Key Capabilities
- Execution log → timeline card stream: color-coded stage / AI / test / tool-call / warning cards; expandable tool JSON; test capsules embedded in the log;
- Draggable split between log and report panes;
- Task background AI understanding: parses scope constraints such as “test only / do not test” before the run starts;
- Richer reports: vulnerability inventory plus request/response evidence;
- Built-in
crypto.logic.analyzeandcodec.transform(AES/DES/RSA/SM and more), aligned with the replay workbench.
Typical Use Cases
- Authorized pentest: see exactly what AI did, which packets were tested, and what evidence was collected;
- CTF / crypto challenges: analyze sign/token logic and verify codecs inside the task loop;
- Long-run review: timeline logs make it easy to see where a task stalled and which tools were called.
Simple Explanation
AI task logs used to feel like walls of text. Now they read like a scannable timeline workspace.
Process on the left, report on the right, draggable split in the middle — much easier to follow.
📚 2. Thicker Skills Library + AI Generate Skill
v1.0.5 expands built-in knowledge on top of v1.0.4 Skills and adds AI Generate Skill so your library can grow on demand.
Key Capabilities
- Built-in sub-modules expanded to 19 pentest + 28 CTF topics (
js-reverse,ai-site-workflow,misc-encoding, four AI-track modules, and more); - Smart Enable toggle per main Skill: control mid-task dynamic sub-module injection;
- AI Generate Skill (Pro): natural-language generation of a single skill or a collection (2–6 modules); save as standalone Skill, built-in sub-module, or append to an imported skill.
Typical Use Cases
- Team playbooks: turn recurring workflows into Skills and inject them at task start;
- New vuln types or challenge styles: quickly draft a Skill or sub-module with AI, then export for reuse;
- Multi-track CTF: pick pentest / CTF modules as needed and let Smart Enable add more knowledge mid-task.
Simple Explanation
Skills are the AI’s playbook. v1.0.5 makes the playbook thicker and lets AI write new chapters.
Built-ins cover more ground; ad-hoc topics can be generated without hand-writing Markdown from scratch.
🔐 3. Codec Capabilities Completed
v1.0.5 connects replay workbench, AI tasks, and page scripts for a clearer split between lightweight decode and advanced crypto workflows.
Key Capabilities
- Replay workbench: AES / DES / RSA / SM and smart nested decode;
- Built-in Smart Decode Assistant (enabled by default): select text on any page to open a decode panel — Hex / Base64 / Base32 / URL / ROT13 and hash hints such as MD5 / SHA;
- Advanced AES / nested decode still goes through replay, inline packet codec, or AI
codec.transform.
Typical Use Cases
- CTF misc / traffic puzzles: quick selection-based decode, then replay or AI tasks for harder chains;
- Pentest: mixed base64, JWT, and custom crypto in responses — decode while capturing;
- Daily browsing: decode suspicious strings in place without switching tools.
Simple Explanation
Select-to-decode goes to Smart Decode Assistant; AES / RSA / nested chains go to replay and AI tasks.
Light work stays light; heavy work has a professional path.
🛠 4. UX Improvements and Bug Fixes
v1.0.5 continues polishing Chrome / Firefox daily workflows, fixing system issues and improving interaction and messaging.
Improvements
- Fixed various system issues around intercept, capture, sidebar, scripts, and settings linkage;
- Better coordination among intercept / debug mode / passive listening toggles, reducing false prompts and state drift;
- Improved sidebar, detail view, and settings copy for easier onboarding;
- User manual updated to v1.0.5 with AI tasks, Skills, and built-in script docs.
Typical Use Cases
- Daily capture, intercept, replay, and AI tasks after upgrading from
v1.0.4; - Users switching between browsers who want a consistent workflow;
- New and existing users reading the updated manual.
Simple Explanation
Besides the big features, v1.0.5 also spent time on smoothness and clarity.
Reload the extension after upgrading and skim the new manual sections.

Hx0 HawkEye is currently not available in official browser extension stores, including the English version in Chrome / Firefox extension stores.
Please refer to the compatibility table and installation steps below to install the extension manually according to your browser.
File names may vary depending on the actual release package. The examples below use
V1.0.5official release naming.
📦 Important Installation and Upgrade Notice
For long-term stability, it is strongly recommended to install Hx0 HawkEye from the .zip package by extracting it to a fixed folder, instead of installing a single .crx / .xpi package directly.
Hx0 HawkEye is not currently published in official browser extension stores. Some browsers may apply stricter restrictions to unpackaged, unsigned, or non-store extensions. In particular, installing a single .crx file in Chrome / Chromium-based browsers may cause:
- The extension to be automatically disabled;
- The extension to become unavailable after browser restart;
- The browser recognition state of the extension to change after reinstalling;
- Local cache, license status, or Pro membership entitlement to become inconsistent.
Therefore, the recommended workflow is:
Download the
.zippackage → extract it to a permanent folder → load the extracted folder from the browser extension management page.
When upgrading to a new version, it is also recommended to extract the new .zip package and overwrite the original extension folder, then refresh or reload the extension from the browser extension management page.
This helps keep the extension directory, browser recognition state, and local cache consistent, reducing the risk of losing license status, membership entitlement, local configuration, or historical data due to reinstalling, moving folders, or using single-package installation.
In short:
Use ZIP for first-time installation, and use ZIP to overwrite the original folder when upgrading. Avoid frequent uninstall/reinstall operations and do not move the extension folder casually.
📊 Browser Compatibility & Recommended Installation Methods
| Browser | Recommended Installation Method | Pros | Cons / Notes |

| 360 Extreme / QQ / Sogou | Extract ZIP and load unpacked folder | Good compatibility and easier preservation of local configuration and membership entitlement | Extension page entry may differ by browser |
| Google Chrome | Extract ZIP and load unpacked folder | Suitable for long-term use and overwrite upgrades | Do not delete or move the folder; some versions display Developer Mode warnings |
| Firefox (Developer / ESR) | Install .xpi or temporarily load extracted folder |
Suitable for long-term testing and close to the official add-on experience | Requires modifying about:config; stable Firefox does not support permanent unsigned add-on installation |
| Firefox (Stable Release) | Temporarily load extracted folder | Works on all Firefox versions | Extension disappears after browser restart |
🚀 Detailed Installation Steps
1️⃣ Microsoft Edge / 360 Extreme / QQ / Sogou Browser (Recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)
For Edge, 360 Extreme, QQ Browser, Sogou Browser, and other Chromium-based browsers, it is recommended to install Hx0 HawkEye by extracting the ZIP package and loading the unpacked folder.
This method is better for long-term use and future upgrades. When upgrading, extract the new ZIP package, overwrite the original extension folder, and refresh the extension. This reduces the risk of license status, membership entitlement, or local configuration issues caused by deleting/reinstalling or using single-package installation.

Because Chrome strictly blocks unofficial .crx installations and may automatically disable them, Chrome users are especially recommended to use:
✅ Extract ZIP and Load Unpacked Folder
Installation Steps
① Extract the Extension Package
Download and extract the extension package:
Hx0-HawkEye-Chrome-V1.0.5-Official.Release.zip
You should obtain:
Hx0-HawkEye-Chrome-V1.0.5-Official.Release
It is recommended to place the folder in a permanent directory, for example:
D:\Tools\Hx0-Extension\
Do not delete or move this folder later. Otherwise, Chrome will not be able to locate the extension files, and local configuration, license status, or membership entitlement recognition may be affected.
② Open the Extensions Page
chrome://extensions/
③ Enable Developer Mode
Located in the top-right corner.
④ Load the Extension
Click:
Load unpacked
Select the extracted extension folder.
⑤ Finish Installation
After installation, it is recommended to pin the extension to the browser toolbar.
If Chrome later displays:

You can safely close the warning without affecting functionality.
⑥ Chrome Upgrade Notice
When upgrading the Chrome version of the extension, it is recommended to extract the new .zip package and overwrite the original extension folder, then click refresh on the chrome://extensions/ page.
Try to avoid:
- Deleting the old extension and reinstalling it;
- Moving the extension folder to another path;
- Installing by dragging a single
.crxfile; - Installing multiple Hx0 HawkEye versions from different folders at the same time.
These operations may cause the browser to recognize the extension as a different installation, which may affect local cache, license status, membership entitlement, or historical configuration.
3️⃣ Mozilla Firefox
Firefox enforces extension signature verification.
The following versions are recommended for permanent installation:
- Firefox Developer Edition
- Firefox ESR
For Firefox users, please use the Firefox-specific package from the official release. If you temporarily load an extracted directory, do not delete or move the directory. When upgrading, try to keep the same directory structure and avoid repeated uninstall/reinstall operations.
🅰️ Method A: Permanent Installation (Recommended)
