Command-line tool to scan search results for vulnerabilities

Project description

dorkbot

Scan Google (or other) search results for vulnerabilities.

dorkbot is a modular command-line tool for performing vulnerability scans against sets of webpages returned by Google search queries or other supported sources. It is broken up into two sets of modules:

  • Indexers - modules that return a list of targets
  • Scanners - modules that perform a vulnerability scan against each target

Targets are stored in a local database file until they are scanned, at which point a standard JSON report is produced containing any vulnerabilities found. Indexing and scanning processes can be run separately or combined in a single command (up to one of each).

Usage

usage: dorkbot.py [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-r DIRECTORY] [-d DATABASE] [-f]
                  [-i INDEXER] [-l] [-o INDEXER_OPTIONS] [-p SCANNER_OPTIONS]
                  [-s SCANNER]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        Configuration file
  -r DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
                        Dorkbot directory (default location of config, db,
                        tools, reports)
  -d DATABASE, --database DATABASE
                        Database file/uri
  -f, --flush           Flush table of fingerprints of previously-scanned
                        items
  -i INDEXER, --indexer INDEXER
                        Indexer module to use
  -l, --list            List targets in database
  -o INDEXER_OPTIONS, --indexer-options INDEXER_OPTIONS
                        Indexer-specific options (opt1=val1,opt2=val2,..)
  -p SCANNER_OPTIONS, --scanner-options SCANNER_OPTIONS
                        Scanner-specific options (opt1=val1,opt2=val2,..)
  -s SCANNER, --scanner SCANNER
                        Scanner module to use

Requirements

Python 2.7.x / 3.x (cross-platform) psycopg2 (if using PostgreSQL)

Tools

As needed, dorkbot will search for tools in the following order:

  • Directory specified via relevant module option
  • Located in dorkbot's tools directory, with the subdirectory named after the tool
  • Available in the user's PATH (e.g. installed system-wide)

Quickstart

Create a Google Custom Search Engine and note the search engine ID, e.g. 012345678901234567891:abc12defg3h. Download either Arachni or Wapiti, unpack it into the tools directory (e.g. ~/.config/dorkbot/tools/), and rename the subdirectory to arachni or wapiti as appropriate.

$ sudo apt install phantomjs
$ ./dorkbot.py -i google -o engine=012345678901234567891:abc12defg3h,query="filetype:php inurl:id"
$ ./dorkbot.py -s arachni
OR
$ ./dorkbot.py -s wapiti

Files

A dorkbot directory is used to manage all configuration files, SQLite3 databases, tools, and reports. By default it is located at ~/.config/dorkbot/ (Linux / MacOS) or in the Application Data folder (Windows). It will honor $XDG_CONFIG_HOME / %APPDATA%, or you can force a specific directory with the --directory flag. Default file paths within this directory are as follows:

  • Dorkbot configuration file: dorkbot.ini
  • Scanner url blacklist file: blacklist.txt
  • SQLite3 database file: dorkbot.db
  • External tools directory: tools/
  • Scan report output directory: reports/

Config File

The configuration file (dorkbot.ini) can be used to prepopulate certain command-line flags.

Example dorkbot.ini:

[dorkbot]
database=/opt/dorkbot/dorkbot.db

Blacklist File

The blacklist file (blacklist.txt) is a list of regular expressions of url patterns that should not be scanned. If a target url matches any line in this file it will be skipped and removed from the database. Note: do not leave any empty lines in the file.

Example blacklist.txt:

^[^\?]+$
.*login.*
^https?://[^.]*.example.com/.*

The first line will remove any target that doesn't contain a question mark, in other words any url that doesn't contain any GET parameters to test. The second attempts to avoid login functions, and the third blacklists all target urls on example.com.

Indexer Modules

  • query - search query
  • phantomjs_dir - phantomjs base directory containing bin/phantomjs (default: tools/phantomjs/)
  • domain - limit searches to specified domain

google_api

Search for targets in a Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) via JSON API.

Requirements: none

Options:

  • key - API key
  • engine - CSE id
  • query - search query
  • domain - limit searches to specified domain

commoncrawl

Search for targets within commoncrawl.org results.

Requirements: none

Options:

  • domain - pull all results for given domain or subdomain
  • index - search a specific index, e.g. CC-MAIN-2019-22 (default: latest)
