Bug Hunting Methodology and Enumeration

Passive recon

  • Using Shodan (https://www.shodan.io/) to detect similar app

bash can be integrated with nmap (https://github.com/glennzw/shodan-hq-nse) nmap --script shodan-hq.nse --script-args 'apikey=<yourShodanAPIKey>,target=<hackme>'

  • Using The Wayback Machine (https://archive.org/web/) to detect forgotten endpoints

bash look for JS files, old links curl -sX GET "http://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=<targetDomain.com>&output=text&fl=original&collapse=urlkey&matchType=prefix"

  • Using The Harvester (https://github.com/laramies/theHarvester)

python python theHarvester.py -b all -d domain.com

Active recon

``` $ rpcclient -U '%' [target host] rpcclient $> querydominfo Domain: WORKGROUP Server: METASPLOITABLE Comment: metasploitable server (Samba 3.0.20-Debian) Total Users: 35

rpcclient $> enumdomusers user:[games] rid:[0x3f2] user:[nobody] rid:[0x1f5] user:[bind] rid:[0x4ba] ```

  • enum4linux

enum4linux v0.8.9 (http://labs.portcullis.co.uk/application/enum4linux/) Usage: ./enum4linux.pl [options] ip -U get userlist -M get machine list* -S get sharelist -P get password policy information -G get group and member list -d be detailed, applies to -U and -S -u user specify username to use (default “”) -p pass specify password to use (default “” -a Do all simple enumeration (-U -S -G -P -r -o -n -i). -o Get OS information -i Get printer information ============================== | Users on XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX | ============================== index: 0x1 Account: games Name: games Desc: (null) index: 0x2 Account: nobody Name: nobody Desc: (null) index: 0x3 Account: bind Name: (null) Desc: (null) index: 0x4 Account: proxy Name: proxy Desc: (null) index: 0x5 Account: syslog Name: (null) Desc: (null) index: 0x6 Account: user Name: just a user,111,, Desc: (null) index: 0x7 Account: www-data Name: www-data Desc: (null) index: 0x8 Account: root Name: root Desc: (null)

  • Zone Transfer

```powershell host -t ns domain.local domain.local name server master.domain.local.

host master.domain.local
master.domain.local has address 192.168.1.1

dig axfr domain.local @192.168.1.1 ```

List all the subdirectories and files

  • Using BFAC (Backup File Artifacts Checker): An automated tool that checks for backup artifacts that may disclose the web-application's source code.

```bash git clone https://github.com/mazen160/bfac

Check a single URL bfac --url http://example.com/test.php --level 4

Check a list of URLs bfac --list testing_list.txt ```

  • Using DirBuster or GoBuster

```bash ./gobuster -u http://buffered.io/ -w words.txt -t 10 -u url -w wordlist -t threads

More subdomain : ./gobuster -m dns -w subdomains.txt -u google.com -i

gobuster -w wordlist -u URL -r -e ```

  • Using a script to detect all phpinfo.php files in a range of IPs (CIDR can be found with a whois)

bash #!/bin/bash for ipa in 98.13{6..9}.{0..255}.{0..255}; do wget -t 1 -T 3 http://${ipa}/phpinfo.php; done &

  • Using a script to detect all .htpasswd files in a range of IPs

bash #!/bin/bash for ipa in 98.13{6..9}.{0..255}.{0..255}; do wget -t 1 -T 3 http://${ipa}/.htpasswd; done &

Looking for Web vulnerabilities

  • Look for private information in GitHub repos with GitRob

bash git clone https://github.com/michenriksen/gitrob.git gitrob analyze johndoe --site=https://github.acme.com --endpoint=https://github.acme.com/api/v3 --access-tokens=token1,token2

  • Explore the website with a proxy (ZAP/Burp Suite)
  • Start proxy, visit the main target site and perform a Forced Browse to discover files and directories
  • Map technologies used with Wappalyzer and Burp Suite (or ZAP) proxy

  • Explore and understand available functionality, noting areas that correspond to vulnerability types

    ```bash Burp Proxy configuration on port 8080 (in .bashrc): alias set_proxy_burp='gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http host "http://localhost";gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http port 8080;gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode "manual"' alias set_proxy_normal='gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode "none"'

    then launch Burp with : java -jar burpsuite_free_v*.jar & ```

  • WAHH Task Checklist copied from http://mdsec.net/wahh/tasks.html

  • Subscribe to the site and pay for the additional functionality to test

  • Launch a Nikto scan in case you missed something

powershell nikto -h http://domain.example.com

  • Payment functionality - @gwendallecoguic

    if the webapp you're testing uses an external payment gateway, check the doc to find the test credit numbers, purchase something and if the webapp didn't disable the test mode, it will be free

From https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards : "Use any of the following test card numbers, a valid expiration date in the future, and any random CVC number, to create a successful payment. Each test card's billing country is set to U.S. " e.g :

Test card numbers and tokens
