The YAWAST Antecedent Web Application Security Toolkit

YAWAST

The YAWAST Antecedent Web Application Security Toolkit

YAWAST is an application meant to simplify initial analysis and information gathering for penetration testers and security auditors. It performs basic checks in these categories:

• TLS/SSL - Versions and cipher suites supported; common issues.
• Information Disclosure - Checks for common information leaks.
• Presence of Files or Directories - Checks for files or directories that could indicate a security issue.
• Common Vulnerabilities
• Missing Security Headers

This is meant to provide a easy way to perform initial analysis and information discovery. It's not a full testing suite, and it certainly isn't Metasploit. The idea is to provide a quick way to perform initial data collection, which can then be used to better target further tests. It is especially useful when used in conjunction with Burp Suite (via the --proxy parameter).

Please see the wiki for full documentation.

Installing

YAWAST is packaged as a Python package, Docker container, and as a Windows EXE to make installing it as easy as possible. Details are available on the wiki.

Windows

The simplest option for Windows users is to download the compiled executable, as Windows requires certain dependentcies to be compile.

macOS, Linux, etc.

The simplest options to install are:

As a Python package: pip3 install yawast (YAWAST requires Python 3.7)

Docker

docker pull adamcaudill/yawast

It's strongly recommended that you review the installation documentation, to make sure you have the proper dependencies.

TLS/SSL Information

By default, YAWAST uses SSL Labs to gather information and issues related to TLS. This includes the full list of issues reported by SSL Labs, with some additional information and issues captured. When a scan is performed against a target that SSL Labs would not be able to scan (such as a private IP address), YAWAST will use SSLyze to perform this analysis.

By using SSL Labs and SSLyze, YAWAST is able to capture a significant number of TLS issues; the full list is too long (and updated too often) to display here.

• Certificate details
• Certificate chain
• Supported ciphers
• DNS CAA records
• ...many others

Checks for the following SSL issues are performed (the exact list depends on which integration is used):

• Expired Certificate
• Self-Signed Certificate
• MD5 Signature
• SHA1 Signature
• RC4 Cipher Suites
• CBC Cipher Suites
• Weak (< 128 bit) Cipher Suites
• SWEET32 (via --tdessessioncount parameter)
• POODLE
• ROBOT
• Sleeping POODLE
• Untrusted Symantec Root
• TICKETBLEED
• SSLv3 Supported
• TLS 1.0 Supported
• TLS 1.3 Early Data Supported
• TLS 1.3 Not Supported
• Zombie POODLE
• OpenSSL CVE-2014-0224
• OpenSSL CVE-2016-2107
• OpenSSL CVE-2019-1559
• OCSP Staple Missing
• LOGJAM
• Missing AEAD Support
• Insecure Renegotiation
• HEARTBLEED
• Heartbeat Extension Enabled
• GOLDENDOODLE
• Fallback SCSV Missing
• FREAK
• DROWN
• ECDH Parameter Reuse
• DH Parameter Reuse
• DH Common Primes
• Compression Enabled
• ...many others

SWEET32

YAWAST is unique among the tools available, in that it provides the only implementation of a test for SWEET32 that does more than check for cipher suites with a 64-bit block size. This allows YAWAST to provide the most accurate assessment of this issue available.

See here for more information.

DNS Information

• IP Addresses
• IP Owner/Network (via api.iptoasn.com)
• TXT Records
• MX Records
• NS Records
• CAA Records (with CNAME chasing)
• Common Subdomains (2,354 subdomains) - optional, via --subdomains
• SRV Records - optional, via --srv

In addition to these tests, certain basic information is also displayed, such as IPs (and the PTR record for each IP), HTTP HEAD request, and others.

Usage

The most common usage scenario is as simple as:

yawast scan <url1> <url2>

Detailed usage information is available on the wiki.

Sample

Sample output for a scan and TLS-specific checks are on the wiki.
