An extremely fast and flexible web fuzzer
Filebuster is a HTTP fuzzer / content discovery script with loads of features and built to be easy to use and fast! It uses one of the fastest HTTP classes in the world (of PERL) - Furl::HTTP. Also the thread modelling is optimized to run as fast as possible.
It packs a ton of features like:
- Regex patterns on wordlists
- Supports HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS proxy
- Allows for multiple wordlists using wildcards
- Additional file extensions
- Adjustable timeouts and retries
- Adjustable delays / throttling
- Hide results based on HTTP code, length or words in headers or body
- Support for custom cookies
- Support for custom headers
- Supports multiple versions of the TLS protocol
- Automatic TTY detection
- Recursive scans
- Integrated wordlists with custom payloads
- Automatic smart encoding
- Automatic filtering of results
Filebuster is updated often. New features will be added regularly.
Perl version 5.10 or higher is required
Filebuster resources a lot of features to third party libraries. However they can be easily installed with the following command:
# cpan -T install YAML Furl Benchmark Net::DNS::Lite List::MoreUtils IO::Socket::SSL URI::Escape HTML::Entities IO::Socket::Socks::Wrapper URI::URL Cache::LRU IO::Async::Timer::Periodic IO
::Async::Loop
The -T
option will make the installation much quicker but if you run into problems, remove it to allow CPAN to perform the tests per package.
Filebuster is a Perl script so no installation is necessary. However, the best way of using filebuster is by creating a soft link on a directory that is included in the path. For example:
# ln -s /path/to/filebuster.pl /usr/local/bin/filebuster
Then you will be able to use it system wide
On the most basic form, Filebuster can be run just using the following syntax:
# filebuster -u http://yoursite/
If you want to fuzz the final part of the URL, then you don't need to using the tag {fuzz} to indicate where to inject.
The wordlist parameter (-w
) is not mandatory as from version 0.9.1. If not specified, Filebuster will attempt to find and load the "Normal" wordlist automatically.
A more complex example:
# filebuster -u http://yoursite/{fuzz}.jsp -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -t 3 -x http://127.0.0.1:8080 --hs "Error"
This would allow you to fuzz a website with 3 threads to find JSP pages, using a local proxy and hiding all responses with "Error" in the body.
For the complete syntax help with examples, just run filebuster.pl --help
.
I've created some wordlists based on different sources around the web together with my own custom payloads that I've came across during my pentests and research. You can find them on the wordlists
directory.
If you need more wordlists, you should check out the great SecLists repository.
You'll need to start by building the container:
# docker build -t filebuster .
Afterwards you can run it like this:
# docker run -ti --init --rm filebuster -u http://yoursite/
If you need to use custom wordlists, remember to map the file, e.g.:
# docker run -ti --init --rm -v /path/to/wordlist.txt:/filebuster/mywordlist.txt filebuster -u http://yoursite/ -w /filebuster/mywordlist.txt
You can create an alias in your shell, and make it (almost) seamless:
# alias filebuster="docker run -ti --init --rm filebuster"
You can now just run it:
# filebuster -u http://yoursite/
I love Filebuster and I hope you do to. If you have any issues or suggestions feel free to get in touch.
