An extensible framework for emulating attacker TTPs with Selenium.

Project description

Scythe

scythe

An extensible framework for emulating attacker TTPs with Selenium.

Overview

Scythe is a Python-based framework that allows you to test the security of your web applications by emulating Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) of attackers. It uses Selenium to automate browser interactions and simulate attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and brute-forcing. This allows you to validate that your web application protects against these attacks and helps you test your detection capabilities.

Features

  • Extensible TTP Framework: Easily create new TTPs by extending the abstract base class.
  • Payload Generators: Generate payloads from wordlists or static lists.
  • Selenium-based: Utilizes the power of Selenium for realistic browser automation.
  • Configurable: Easily configure TTPs with different selectors and payloads.
  • Logging: Detailed logging for each TTP execution.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+
  • Google Chrome

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
    git clone https://github.com/EpykLab/scythe.git
    cd scythe
    
  2. Install the dependencies:
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    

Usage

  1. Configure a TTP: In your test script, import the desired TTP and create an instance with the necessary parameters. For example, to use the LoginBruteforceTTP:

    from scythe.core.executor import TTPExecutor
    from scythe.ttps.web.login_bruteforce import LoginBruteforceTTP
    from scythe.payloads.generators import WordlistPayloadGenerator
    
    # Create a payload generator
    payload_generator = WordlistPayloadGenerator("path/to/your/password_list.txt")
    
    # Create a TTP instance
    login_bruteforce_ttp = LoginBruteforceTTP(
        payload_generator=payload_generator,
        username="testuser",
        username_selector="#username",
        password_selector="#password",
        submit_selector="#submit"
    )
    
    # Create a TTP executor
    executor = TTPExecutor(
        ttp=login_bruteforce_ttp,
        target_url="http://localhost:5000/login"
    )
    
    # Run the TTP
    executor.run()
    
  2. Run the Test: Execute the Python script to run the TTP.

    python your_test_script.py
    
  3. View the Results: The results of the TTP execution will be logged to the console and to a file named ttp_test.log.

DEVELOPER GUIDE

This guide provides instructions for developers who want to contribute to the Scythe framework by creating new TTPs.

Core Concepts

The Scythe framework is built around a few core concepts:

  • TTP (Tactic, Technique, and Procedure): A TTP is a single test that emulates a specific attacker behavior. Each TTP is a Python class that inherits from the TTP abstract base class.
  • Payload Generator: A payload generator is a class that generates payloads for a TTP. The framework provides two types of payload generators: WordlistPayloadGenerator and StaticPayloadGenerator.
  • TTP Executor: The TTPExecutor is the main engine for running TTP tests. It takes a TTP instance and a target URL as input and executes the TTP against the target.

Creating a New TTP

To create a new TTP, you need to create a new Python class that inherits from the TTP abstract base class and implements the following methods:

  • get_payloads(self): This method should yield payloads for the test execution.
  • execute_step(self, driver: WebDriver, payload: Any): This method executes a single test action using the provided payload. This method should perform the action (e.g., fill form, click button).
  • verify_result(self, driver: WebDriver) -> bool: This method verifies the outcome of the executed step. It should return True if the test indicates a potential success/vulnerability, and False otherwise.

Example TTP: SQL Injection

Here is an example of a simple SQL injection TTP:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver import WebDriver
from scythe.core.ttp import TTP
from scythe.payloads.generators import StaticPayloadGenerator

class SQLInjectionTTP(TTP):
    def __init__(self, target_url: str):
        super().__init__(
            name="SQL Injection",
            description="Tests for basic SQL injection vulnerabilities."
        )
        self.target_url = target_url
        self.payload_generator = StaticPayloadGenerator([
            "' OR '1'='1",
            "' OR '1'='1' --",
            "' OR 1=1 --",
        ])

    def get_payloads(self):
        yield from self.payload_generator()

    def execute_step(self, driver: WebDriver, payload: str):
        # Assumes a search input with the name 'q'
        driver.get(f"{self.target_url}?q={payload}")

    def verify_result(self, driver: WebDriver) -> bool:
        # A simple check for a generic SQL error message
        return "sql" in driver.page_source.lower() or \
               "syntax" in driver.page_source.lower()

Coding Conventions

Please follow these coding conventions when contributing to the Scythe framework:

  • All code should be formatted using the Black code formatter.
  • Type hints should be used for all function signatures.
  • Docstrings should be included for all modules, classes, and functions.
  • Follow the PEP 8 style guide for Python code.

By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that the Scythe framework remains a high-quality and maintainable project.
