How to Discover Hidden Services with OpenClaw

Hidden service discovery with OpenClaw and ToolRouter. Find exposed infrastructure.

OpenClaw runs HTTP service probes as systematic, large-scale scanning operations that cover your entire web infrastructure in one pass. Feed it a list of domains, subdomains, and IP ranges to get back a comprehensive inventory of responding services with their security header status, SSL configuration, and detected technologies. Its batch scanning approach is essential for organizations managing large infrastructures that need continuous visibility into their HTTP attack surface.

Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw

1Install the CLI

npm install -g toolrouter-mcp

2Call tools directly from OpenClaw

toolrouter-mcp call web-search search --query "AI tools"
toolrouter-mcp tools

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Security HTTPx tool:

Ask OpenClaw: "Scan for hidden HTTP services on my domain"
OpenClaw probes and reports all responding services
Identify unauthorized or forgotten services
Restrict or decommission exposed services

Example Prompt

Try this with OpenClaw using the Security HTTPx tool

Discover all HTTP services running on subdomains of mycompany.com, including non-standard ports.

Tips

Hidden services are among the top initial access vectors for attackers
Maintain an inventory of all authorized services and compare against scan results
Services exposed during development often remain exposed in production if not actively managed
