Core types, traits, and shared networking utilities for the gossan attack-surface scanner — part of the security research ecosystem
Documentation
//! The [`Scanner`] trait — every gossan module implements this.
//!
//! Defines `run()`, `accepts()`, and metadata (`name`, `tags`) that the
//! pipeline uses to compose scanner stages.
