🎯 Summary

This PR adds 5 critical production-ready features to the React2Shell scanner.

✨ What's New

1. Enhanced JSON Output Validation

  • Atomic file writes prevent corrupted output
  • JSON validation before writing
  • Auto-create output directories
  • Detailed scan statistics

2. Rate Limiting (--rate-limit)

  • Token bucket algorithm for controlled scanning
  • Prevents overwhelming targets
  • Essential for ethical testing
python3 scanner.py -l hosts.txt --rate-limit 5.0

3. CSV Export Format

  • Auto-detects format from extension (.json/.csv)
  • Spreadsheet-ready output
python3 scanner.py -l hosts.txt -o results.csv

4. Retry Logic with Exponential Backoff

  • Automatic retry for transient errors
  • Configurable via --retries flag
  • Reduces false negatives
python3 scanner.py -l hosts.txt --retries 5

5. Checkpoint System

  • Resume interrupted scans
  • Saves progress every 10 hosts
python3 scanner.py -l huge_list.txt --checkpoint scan.json
python3 scanner.py -l huge_list.txt --checkpoint scan.json --resume

🧪 Testing

✅ Tested all features individually
✅ Verified backward compatibility
✅ Tested error handling
✅ Confirmed thread safety

📊 Benefits

  • Reliability: Retry logic handles network issues
  • Professionalism: Rate limiting for ethical testing
  • Flexibility: Multiple output formats
  • Scalability: Checkpoint system for large scans
  • Safety: Atomic writes prevent data corruption

🔧 Backward Compatibility

All features are optional. Existing scripts work without modification.
