A base64 string of 128+ characters appears in a documentation file. Encoded prompt injection hides the hostile instruction in base64 — invisible to keyword filters — and relies on the agent's ability to decode it at runtime. There is no normal authoring reason to embed a multi-hundred-byte base64 blob in skill docs.

High-performance Rust web crawling engine for structured data extraction. Scrape, crawl, and map websites with native bindings for 14 languages — same engine, identical results across every runtime.
Kreuzcrawl is the crawling substrate: everything you need to scrape and crawl a site end-to-end from a single Rust core — HTML→Markdown, headless-Chrome fallback, robots/sitemap parsing, per-domain throttling, and an SSRF-safe policy — with identical results across 14 language bindings.
Productization concerns (managed proxy pools, tuned WAF fingerprints, authenticated-session injection, scheduling, billing) live in kreuzberg-cloud, the reference operational implementation. Every extension point (Frontier, RateLimiter, CrawlStore, EventEmitter, ContentFilter, WafClassifier, …) is a trait you inject via CrawlEngineBuilder::with_<trait>(...).
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Structured extraction | Text, metadata, links, images, assets, JSON-LD, Open Graph, hreflang, favicons, headings, response headers |
| Markdown conversion | Clean Markdown with citations, document structure, and fit-content mode |
| Concurrent crawling | Depth-first, breadth-first, or best-first traversal with configurable depth, page limits, and concurrency |
| 14 language bindings | Rust, Python, Node.js, Ruby, Go, Java, Kotlin (Android), C#, PHP, Elixir, Dart, Swift, Zig, and WebAssembly |
| Smart filtering | BM25 relevance scoring, URL include/exclude patterns, robots.txt compliance, sitemap discovery |
| Browser rendering | Optional headless browser for JavaScript-heavy SPAs with WAF detection and bypass |
| Batch & streaming | Scrape or crawl hundreds of URLs concurrently; real-time crawl events via async streams |
| SSRF-safe by default | Refuses loopback, private, link-local, and cloud-metadata addresses; opt out via env var or CrawlConfig |
| Auth & rate limiting | HTTP Basic, Bearer, and custom-header auth with cookie jars; per-domain request throttling |
| MCP server & REST API | Model Context Protocol integration for AI agents plus an HTTP server with OpenAPI spec |
Precompiled binaries for Linux (x86_64/aarch64), macOS (ARM64), and Windows (x64) across every binding. See the platform support reference for the full matrix.
