HumanoidProbe is a command-line XSS WAF intelligence tool that probes how a WAF responds to payload variations — telling you what gets blocked, what passes through, and what gets reflected back.

Project description

HumanoidProbe

by CyberSafeLabs

Analyse WAF behaviour. Think like an attacker.

HumanoidProbe is a command-line XSS WAF intelligence tool that probes how a WAF responds to payload variations — telling you what gets blocked, what passes through, and what gets reflected back.

Built from real bug bounty research. Not theory.


What it does

  • Fires categorised XSS payload variations at a target URL and parameter
  • Detects WAF blocks via status codes, response body analysis, and response length changes
  • Identifies reflected payloads — the highest value findings
  • Summarises WAF behaviour and what it appears to be filtering
  • Gives you actionable intelligence to craft smarter bypass payloads

Installation

1. Make sure Python 3 is installed

python3 --version

If not:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3 python3-pip -y

2. Install the dependency

pip3 install requests

Usage

python3 humanoidprobe.py -u <URL> -p <parameter>

Example:

python3 humanoidprobe.py -u https://example.com/search -p q

With options:

python3 humanoidprobe.py -u https://example.com/search -p q --delay 1 --timeout 15

Options

Flag Description Default
-u / --url Target URL Required
-p / --parameter GET parameter to test Required
--payloads Custom payload file path payloads/xss.txt
--delay Seconds between requests 0.5
--timeout Request timeout in seconds 10

Output verdicts

Verdict Meaning
REFLECTED Payload passed AND appeared in the response — investigate in browser immediately
PASSED WAF did not block — worth exploring further
BLOCKED WAF caught this payload
ERROR Request failed (timeout, connection error)

Roadmap

  • WAF memory — builds a profile of WAF behaviour across sessions
  • Intelligent bypass suggestions — generates mutations based on what passed
  • POST parameter support
  • SQLi payload module
  • Output to file (JSON / txt)
  • Burp Suite integration
  • Full recon and attack surface mapping modules
  • Humanoid Intelligence — AI layer (coming in future versions)

Legal & ethical use

Only use HumanoidProbe against targets you have explicit permission to test. Unauthorised testing is illegal. This tool is built for legitimate security research and bug bounty programmes only.
