BEE·bot

A Recursive Internet Scanner for Hackers.

Python Version Black License DEF CON Demo Labs 2023 Tests Codecov Pypi Downloads Discord

BBOT (Bighuge BLS OSINT Tool) is a recursive internet scanner inspired by Spiderfoot, but designed to be faster, more reliable, and friendlier to pentesters, bug bounty hunters, and developers.

Special features include:

  • Support for Multiple Targets
  • Web Screenshots
  • Suite of Offensive Web Modules
  • AI-powered Subdomain Mutations
  • Native Output to Neo4j (and more)
  • Python API + Developer Documentation

Quick Start Guide

Below are some short help sections to get you up and running.

Installation ( Pip )

Note: BBOT's PyPi package requires Linux and Python 3.9+.

# stable version
pipx install bbot

# bleeding edge (dev branch)
pipx install --pip-args '\--pre' bbot

bbot --help
Installation ( Docker )

Docker images are provided, along with helper script bbot-docker.sh to persist your scan data.

# bleeding edge (dev)
docker run -it blacklanternsecurity/bbot --help

# stable
docker run -it blacklanternsecurity/bbot:stable --help

# helper script
git clone https://github.com/blacklanternsecurity/bbot && cd bbot
./bbot-docker.sh --help
Usage

Example Commands

Scan output, logs, etc. are saved to ~/.bbot. For more detailed examples and explanations, see Scanning.

Subdomains:

# Perform a full subdomain enumeration on evilcorp.com
bbot -t evilcorp.com -f subdomain-enum

Subdomains (passive only):

# Perform a passive-only subdomain enumeration on evilcorp.com
bbot -t evilcorp.com -f subdomain-enum -rf passive

Subdomains + port scan + web screenshots:

# Port-scan every subdomain, screenshot every webpage, output to current directory
bbot -t evilcorp.com -f subdomain-enum -m nmap gowitness -n my_scan -o .

Subdomains + basic web scan:

# A basic web scan includes wappalyzer, robots.txt, and other non-intrusive web modules
bbot -t evilcorp.com -f subdomain-enum web-basic

Web spider:

# Crawl www.evilcorp.com up to a max depth of 2, automatically extracting emails, secrets, etc.
bbot -t www.evilcorp.com -m httpx robots badsecrets secretsdb -c web_spider_distance=2 web_spider_depth=2

Everything everywhere all at once:

# Subdomains, emails, cloud buckets, port scan, basic web, web screenshots, nuclei
bbot -t evilcorp.com -f subdomain-enum email-enum cloud-enum web-basic -m nmap gowitness nuclei --allow-deadly

Targets

BBOT accepts an unlimited number of targets via -t. You can specify targets either directly on the command line or in files (or both!). Targets can be any of the following:

  • DNS_NAME (evilcorp.com)
  • IP_ADDRESS (1.2.3.4)
  • IP_RANGE (1.2.3.0/24)
  • OPEN_TCP_PORT (192.168.0.1:80)
  • URL (https://www.evilcorp.com)

For more information, see Targets. To learn how BBOT handles scope, see Scope.

API Keys

Similar to Amass or Subfinder, BBOT supports API keys for various third-party services such as SecurityTrails, etc.

The standard way to do this is to enter your API keys in ~/.config/bbot/secrets.yml:

modules:
  shodan_dns:
    api_key: 4f41243847da693a4f356c0486114bc6
  c99:
    api_key: 21a270d5f59c9b05813a72bb41707266
  virustotal:
    api_key: dd5f0eee2e4a99b71a939bded450b246
  securitytrails:
    api_key: d9a05c3fd9a514497713c54b4455d0b0

If you like, you can also specify them on the command line:

bbot -c modules.virustotal.api_key=dd5f0eee2e4a99b71a939bded450b246

For details, see Configuration

BBOT as a Python Library

BBOT exposes a Python API that allows it to be used for all kinds of fun and nefarious purposes, like a Discord Bot that responds to the /scan command.

bbot-discord

Synchronous

from bbot.scanner import Scanner

# any number of targets can be specified
scan = Scanner("example.com", "scanme.nmap.org", modules=["nmap", "sslcert"])
for event in scan.start():
    print(event.json())

Asynchronous

from bbot.scanner import Scanner

async def main():
    scan = Scanner("example.com", "scanme.nmap.org", modules=["nmap", "sslcert"])
    async for event in scan.async_start():
        print(event.json())

import asyncio
asyncio.run(main())

Contribution

BBOT is constantly being improved by the community. Every day it grows more powerful!

We welcome contributions. Not just code, but ideas too! If you have an idea for a new feature, please let us know in Discussions. If you want to get your hands dirty, see Contribution. There you can find setup instructions and a simple tutorial on how to write a BBOT module. We also have extensive Developer Documentation.

Thanks to these amazing people for contributing to BBOT! :heart:

Special thanks to the following people who made BBOT possible:

  • @TheTechromancer for creating BBOT
  • @liquidsec for his extensive work on BBOT's web hacking features, including badsecrets
  • Steve Micallef (@smicallef) for creating Spiderfoot
  • @kerrymilan for his Neo4j and Ansible expertise
  • Aleksei Kornev (@alekseiko) for allowing us ownership of the bbot Pypi repository <3

Comparison to Other Tools

BBOT consistently finds 20-50% more subdomains than other tools. The bigger the domain, the bigger the difference. To learn how this is possible, see How It Works.
