A Detailed Guide on Wfuzz

IntroductionMany tools have been developed that create an HTTP request and allow a user to modify their contents. Fuzzing works the same way. A user can send a similar request multiple times to the server with a certain section of the request changed. When that certain section is replaced by a variable from a list or directory, it is called fuzzing.

In this article, we will learn how we can use wfuzz, which states for “Web Application Fuzzer”, which is an interesting open-source web fuzzing tool. Since its release, many people have gravitated towards wfuzz, particularly in the bug bounty scenario. So, let’s dive into this learning process. Table of content* Introduction to wfuzz
* Setup
* Wfpayload and Wfencode
* Docker run wfuzz
* Payloads
* Subdomain Fuzzing

* Conclusion Introduction to WfuzzWfuzz is a python coded application to fuzz web applications with a plethora of options. It offers various filters that allow one to replace a simple web request with a required word by replacing it with the variable “FUZZ.” SetupTo install wfuzz using pip, we can:
pip3 install wfuzz
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiNtimNpNWYyqjsIgyqKdnkiQtBUZZVLFmNVEVTGJUawPDmZo_fTSmHrldgoUaAKsW1TeLQP1BOH2LHk_BfBBoPhU-6BLxuSS7nZP9MFnvV_ZlaCPj7baUxLsxW6bmkhQP6QZKcBhuVn1DRamxenMcgodhavZkkpQYaiqdiptkjomg3CGZ63j6oplFC2Q=s16000

The same could be achieved by installing from the source using git.
git clone https://github.com/xmendez/wfuzz.git
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEibwjNr9tIFE7UnFpttVMQdE8mmHE_4FL-kxIXyy3roCcSDm1Unf9CXqphA6Cjk1XC5rH8Q2-wUspCpDm4NEbXjEdqDKA3XjNGMGUN1Ce3uu4-UOrR3WeBXzwGp8gdtoFve4U5VJV84DmaPA6fFtqzVSrUqeUd_0n3Zp5kg2A96K-mbdkJOB0eGjTi3KA=s16000

The help menu to see all the working options is as follows:
wfuzz -h
wfuzz --help
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhujNJyqVzJJhKvvC0OCowqjlHUIvNRz9BHV-ZrUZ2Eo8WRR70rpxpWrWhyx3UR8awBM-CTgXGLvjRDbrfmfFj2CbzMN5_LuTe_9icB4HJrsfrb5cGgW77A-hwxPVsxxGhNwYrhkAlhPQY8VoNrUfnv7frInrD1vhtozHJo49kWv38D7oIH81VRP6XNcA=s16000

You can use a module by using “-z” Wfpayload and WfencodeWhen you install the tool from the source, compiled executables called wfpayload and wfencode are available. These are responsible for payload generation and encoding. They can be individually used. For example, the command to generate digits from 0 to 15 is as follows:
./wfpayload -z range,0-15
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhyEj6pgrzNFjgW2gtePPSS31QKt-1nKoWgJILHMC3wrWO47VP50IzNqvmOw7gRG9vq_gz4zlWjsVBdGvCpKy__SOzxGnNXMbe_Mdx34-RWn3tP-EBD99szQJX7S7EQsVzU_fNqAvN8xHgN7K9Kjvw9-ibEVRrIIN8_PehPJ2i_TO0W9sUe85nxa3NVOQ=s16000

As you can see, there is a pycurl error. It can go away like so:
apt --purge remove python3-pycurl && apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhcn9hy9RQgOerD3nzbhmdPpfgUWBDRHo9MorvLHvgUmi6x4eogEABZPL5MjPGelRtxtkdvGv0c1yYBFyxkh7Vz7m6d1XMEMiDKBhKeN7EwaNQu8nlxcYt4dpCTEmP6Hr-AvQ5oQZSqeX11fNuh9P8K41nNHfljQk0Yn-nzImLTpmhcgpJXBLX9SiWGbA=s16000

Now, when you run wfencode, which is a module to encode a supplied input using a hash algorithm, there is no pycurl error now.
./wfencode -e md5 ignite

p5Ped_2uEKS5W5IA=s16000 Docker run wfuzzWfuzz can also be launched using docker in the following way using the repo ghcr.io. The respective command can be run by replacing the last variable wfuzz.
docker run -v $(pwd)/wordlist:/wordlist/ -it ghcr.io/xmendez/wfuzz wfuzz
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgxN-5qgJ8JhMkpln3CRAF21JsgTt8Iub04WmjKxnPQXFIE3_xyEL_38AN0GbXGMROHeUc-hZ5iUUYmZH7GHCc7Cf4AvRvJN0AHYQVFVkkMDybENICGCaw7zTQ8STg4yWmQC6rdKuBFtFyUxgqAXDBn3Wk8GIWZfP8o9cwpZnOCv4GzfDyofyupoKYHnA=s16000 PayloadsA payload in Wfuzz is a source of input data. The available payloads can be listed by executing:
wfuzz -e payloads
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjxSHorx2LSzijihZhysIWIyUCGXO7Bm1NAoMP23LtCnoZIPr2GG75BLSta6_G4Pr3GfQdXrfWMP99vMPLtrGfEsZ7Uu65GxKrfqBjJobrLh74VNnc2uTSt1_OPHid2AbpqkSG1ESy6zxm8y8O7-u0MsEytQdHkesKPoMgz4eXNbI00m8ZJovP5WG-TLQ=s16000

The detailed view can also be looked at using the slice filter:
wfuzz -z help --slice "list"
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj57YLfIEglB5sRT5_R1SoxlFy00YdmwJ7ufXBui_Pjx1DPDORjwwBE4VN9pLLs8GKjAQ71TYwSrQEPg2NHmB7cu_bv_B5PA06CQaeVYS87NW7-MjU8ilwgRs1ciYUPz6s_8RRWEJ7R4WN4XsOO4ZftO5OPtD-xZJ-HOJUgRTVA9kTxJlBRajce1EdoUA=s16000 Subdomain FuzzingSubdomain discovery is extremely helpful in pentesting scenarios. Often, attackers launch attacks on subdomains rather than main domains and it can be fuzzed like so:

Here, -c color codes the output response codes
-Z specifies a URL to be input in scan mode and ignores any connection error
-w specifies the wordlist use while subdomain bruteforce.
wfuzz -c -Z -w subdomains.txt http://FUZZ.vulnweb.com
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhPJCIfwcLimqxxX3yX4CS1QzKhxKvBuWpO4wXfcz1t4PryHAeWgXf3_7g9Wt7noSF2HHXXgQ3Z_cuvQK1ZIP9pYhCbIpIMqR3lgAX5qWeFvOp7U3iKBUfMxiEd9SaEiKBzessAWoF7kUPNKqDU35oEhPFK3_r7sRj2WxR5uMhOLzuiFd0-jexIIO0nww=s16000

The same can be achieved by providing the subdomain list inline too. Only, the payload (-z option) should be supplied in with “list” as an input. The list is supplied in the format ITEM1-ITEM2-ITEM3 like so:
wfuzz -z list,CVS-testphp-admin-svn http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ
wfuzz -z list,CVS-testphp-admin-svn http://FUZZ.vulnweb.com/
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOwqYT4IkngKI82XpByDIwUBwu54BiTytw0DtdOBdMlGF53oTswXa39LoQixpreYfNWpCYWHSP7cP_qMsNGbt8y80TdaoavjC620hFA_wJ3euabHB1aMaV7P4-J2tnw0K75VkF8z0th73r_EmXGP9LLfIi3boGWSGptzXJuGexIS9rSOcXEycjqsw9RQ=s16000 Directory FuzzingDirectories can be enumerated using wfuzz just like with gobuster by using a supplied wordlist. This can be done using a -w flag and inputting the path of the wordlist:
wfuzz -w wordlist/general/common.txt http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj277p_KR8uFWmQOoWgkoPe8K3Yi-BaZzkIUqp1idoIohFKozd6qk8pni1piFESdqhkwEaCxxlJ8peBlPOqapXjqQeP6y_PETEsE31YfCaJY8f0qn4WkrEnFUWnzzSa8dZfATrcxCrM7LnouCYktvGmW5yEgwvnC-4gAIDMCh2WM1ccYprIbRXEsI0Jhg=s16000

As you can see in the above screenshot, all the results including page not found have been dumped which makes it tedious to go through the results and find pin in a haystack. Therefore, to sort the results out we can see the show code flag (–sc). Other such flags are:

* –hc/sc CODE #Hide/Show by code in response
* –hl/sl NUM #ide/Show by number of lines in response
* –hw/sw NUM #ide/Show by number of words in response
* –hc/sc NUM #ide/Show by number of chars in response

These filters are:

–zP <params: Arguments for the specified payload

–zD <default: Default parameter for the specified payload

–zE <encoder: Encoder for the specified payload

So, to specify a wordlist with the payload, we can do it like so:

To hide the HTTP response code 404, the same can be obtained like so:
wfuzz -z file --zD wordlist/general/common.txt --hc 404 http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhGro9rtqkBf95ZAAdQZl_BDAWrD8Bx3k0sbPTCo_vD6Sm8TitrqCB1yeb5y2ghBlYG5Jio-4BtOlmLuSom5-j-pfv26XuoXguv-6WQHPfY1WYOQMyjriLCkOkL6Z346lhVNxoI6XBTNkOXKiXCEhYdd1JZEFHBymAMMXG9vKrjxOGiGO8Jlf1dsbT5ow=s16000 Double fuzzingJust like a parameter in a payload can be fuzzed using the keyword “FUZZ” multiple fuzzing is also possible by specifying keywords:

* FUZ2Z – 2nd parameter
* FUZ3Z – 3rd parameter
* FUZ4Z – 4th parameter

And each parameter can be allotted its own wordlist. The first “-w” stands for first FUZZ. Second “-w” holds for the second FUZ2Z and so on.
wfuzz -w wordlist/general/common.txt -w wordlist/general/common.txt --hc 404 http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ/FUZ2Z
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjBI2VSfPDC_CUAs_HbkjxZj0qRLWIMBx0iJeUoZyaz0Nt6ufIEPyDnp1MoiRyI4oEGnflOtmVYqgJD4vTPB1mCFd2jI6kfdoiH3i2tJrVbNA7jbuJl4H14Q_MIWrqRswRjxFusedPrVkCBnXjZ4SiT3zrzQk9afw3g4n2JXgEDpEaaKoZ81OpruJPwcQ=s16000 Login bruteforceHTTP responses can be brute-forced using wfuzz. For example, testphp’s website makes a POST request to the backend and passes “uname” and “pass” as the arguments to a page userinfo.php

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhr3yrCTyid_S5Es9Iubhi8sQ88tlSfmOiNce3KtLJaLdanm5a4qOhIyuzn3hxTNoJem4xuMCWTTJRlyA1rfR631FFPcqtKb5lpmCWNR1cLHq8fI7QE2MHmc7-kvXSOqlubgmM2OHSplvaxCSQF5jn_JUmVtlyEGlpl85ft8qOp5OqfzqI6_sjfKfWJJA=s16000

The same can be implemented using wfuzz like so:

-d argument specifies the post data to be sent along with the request
wfuzz -z file,wordlist/others/common_pass.txt -d "uname=FUZZ&pass=FUZZ"  --hc 302 http://testphp.vulnweb.com/userinfo.php
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhuLfheEAnnjVp-dUFpDUnz5flnvDZgcjk1gUK0VA2f06ywDgkJLoDddIlyUIpTwx0JAa4h1qdIo_D6o9GjUk8CiJyu2iIaIUA7tJnaCj_oeCDQPhk9xZY0JV0pKsuoyCg3D2qoWqqRcDhiq4NEWyNtcprKTQjoNwf17l7UsuI9xgG_czVxNzlYq83PEA=s16000

As you can see, the correct credentials “test-test” have been found. We used a common file for both username and password. The same can be done by providing different files for both usernames and passwords like so:

-c is to color code the output response which can be skipped.
wfuzz -z file,users.txt -z file,pass.txt --sc 200 -d "uname=FUZZ&pass=FUZ2Z" http://testphp.vulnweb.com/u[...]

This would add a cookie to the sent HTTP request.

Scenario useful:

* Cookie poisoning
* Session hijacking
* Privilege Escalation
wfuzz -z file,wordlist/general/common.txt -b cookie=secureadmin -b cookie2=value2 --hc 404 http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg5FcQAVag5_Vi12nW-N-jmvuo9ixifgydlaGwRZKV90t-hrcYtO6UwAMYjQ0wwiKDjhjsQrKQIz7WpMjfpctTw-XZ4i-YTFz6E0g6FM30jldlE5jQbsYSk4e35rLjtg3USRMX8Pl3dvKMzjejtBHUSl-bqM3LGnDWFjSMmDFzBL94PiZOCeoYBUxjuTA=s16000

In the above scenario, we have added 2 static cookies on multiple directories. Now, we can also fuzz the cookie parameter too like so:
wfuzz -z file,wordlist/general/common.txt -b cookie=FUZZ http://testphp.vulnweb.com/
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhfprPFK37CLoJybfULVYiJum1RU9OcpSlNKzobdaEA1ZaTWbNsEzjQduPqrGuQKWNonC4slt370i2qgS5i2APRF64oWBmMbQJkFJZb6zbsgljka-HoMM9QIGwCOKWAcQiDiJHulAq0RMQjehWUQ5VlK_s8KibM1SlDqHTTHMYFN-DVvIZvj0QcPD0afQ=s16000 Header fuzzingHTTP header can be added in a request being sent out by wfuzz. HTTP headers can change the behaviour of an entire web page. Custom headers can be fuzzed or injected in an outgoing request

Scenarios useful:

* HTTP Header Injections
* SQL Injections
* Host Header Injections
wfuzz -z file,wordlist/general/common.txt -H "X-Forwarded-By: 127.0.0.1" -H "User-Agent: Firefox" http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhx3w1G28mcic7xy98Yv5PkaLJwMuqAHqRpeznFRiO4CeolH0tkPkktLpqtzCyXBN1zr5vLlNJ8vIfUY9G9tT424SDffxqHGyA-L0KHkalR2FdmixeIlJ__tI77v--4MQswXdLwBntYrDPGyrdfVBOIrz2BQudJHuOvOkneyl3248iQS0esmwByFOP85g=s16000 HTTP OPTIONS fuzzingThere are various HTTP Request/Options methods available that can be specified by using the “-X” flag. In the following example, We have inserted the following options in a text file called options.txt

* GET
* HEAD
* POST
* PUT
* DELETE
* CONNECT
* OPTIONS
* TRACE
* PATCH
wfuzz -c -w options.txt --sc 200 -X FUZZ “http://testphp.vulnweb.com”
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh7rVvcqsW9LiyOsX7vTYxwe5ExQdaYsfVM0KZ-L2Y8V0Nl4YI6yS35sYH13-E6NKrH_Bye9LGzn1ntGofqu6cBRJ45eWgKixrQOSO5Hr1y3SfH4vpGcQb_iDpDYiMRRB9tV0GKJavyznLJSr9ef-9M6EMYzdJw3y6LiLWGAA6KFX6TSsGC82tvjas4_A=s16000

As you could see, three valid options returned a 200 response code.

The same can be input inline using the “list” payload like so:
wfuzz -z list,GET-HEAD-POST-TRACE-OPTIONS -X FUZZ http://testphp.vulnweb.com/
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3L4sPuzrvwGbTF2PQ54kA7LIlpRUmwsu2mLZOIZO2jx45632tsJdAPHACj_Ij3cREw3qcZmEh9FAzcVdMU6zLw8J8JaskU-gWUMW9dwxxN_rTbfYvuhYdLlYXDmhjbq4zxhfjgRTtQ4fkBANkcZumFayyAPuI-lKMwjFAECoMM2RBkaJUVg9zoo8dzw=s16000 Fuzzing through ProxyWfuzz can also route the requests through a proxy. In the following example, a Burp proxy is active on port 8080 and the request intercepted in the burp intercept as you can see.
wfuzz -z file,wordlist/general/common.txt -p localhost:8080 http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhmW3QkG3hSsg50RJrbMZTQ-SkDFbk89p6clAzif81GIyYShwMeUfGnaPD87O58JSeXKVw3tYTgkSbsYSKIZS76MXdWotK6lA65uHZB3o8snI5o5DYsl00TsVDeo7d-sIxylo6TEwlQzZaE9SZdMHDgSTatGDdBFPdXlMGbin_uUElpUEhyzoW06A3slQ=s16000

The same can also be achieved with SOCKS proxy like so:
wfuzz -z file,wordlist/general/common.txt -p localhost:9500:SOCKS5 http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi2qZaOzLJ6sJXzkyfyMXnWPt2aVbU_1DiDm64SyqcG8-qM4oymKdoTRNPQdMjYwAIQnhzZOjORhl4ob57-m3_6xuMGTXR[...]

Flags:

* –basic: provides basic Username and Password auth
* –ntlm: windows auth
* –digest: webserver negotiation through digest access

In the following example, I am providing a list inline with two variables and –basic input to bruteforce a website httpwatch.com
wfuzz -z list,nonvalid-httpwatch --basic FUZZ:FUZZ https://www.httpwatch.com/httpgallery/authentication/authenticatedimage/default.aspx
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhws5prlUy-bp3BP3GYM0bmFwKclxvcpNeStoQ3QqnfVchRH_rJHOzvu6iDqRaL3UxJNn1SHlsHTyv2uV28GzDFRtMIXMf0Mp7k1Je0jQPpH3VHwa4aCMV7ymtC5MrRHR9TNitWvsAKA2lW13rpJgczib30_nve3B3RlDigj6sEFrnAjm0VgKaZ1WPclQ=s16000 Recursive fuzz-R switch can specify the levels of recursion while fuzzing directories or parameters. Recursion in simple terms means fuzzing at multiple different levels of directories like /dir/dir/dir etc

In the following example, we are recursing at level 1 with a list inline containing 3 directories: admin, CVS and cgi-bin. Note how a directory with – in its name can be supplied inline
wfuzz -z list,"admin-CVS-cgi\-bin" -R1 http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjCEM9ckW-_O_us6Y2I7eHdBpDkkMT9ZkwVbGDQNgN2t4sqnCo7PY6FQN8WOAVN03YD1sjqBGudOoNBshDvBpjBExFF_uq-we_9cJU3_hJ5VVCDZik-KeZZ7SoDV0t_VmeyIda0JrTG57LhTklKwJdOhFeMVcTL0qiP5V7sUoBbBtkEr6XTGGe92Mm0AQ=s16000 Printers and outputPrinters in wfuzz refers to all the formats a payload’s output can be processed as. It can be viewed using -e succeeded by printers argument. Furthermore, “-o” flag can specify the format of the output too
wfuzz -e printers
wfuzz -o json -w wordlist/general/common.txt http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiOyEwpslOs6tMoVZ586D64PfgvCf00Ddl3Zi9-ohn0i9cKy6jDenBDzPJMspJCT_jmOaPpN-zodrcpAZDy5PfCN_2v1l9ioV6BcD3_yOAF6fSWnRX9I6n7qkvYFavA1irCUz0_W6UTWZ4ZcrdoQitTgy8nW-STDDdM_M6U6J7pessZLeER2fXO_VNndw=s16000 EncodersVarious encoders are available in wfuzz. One such encoder we saw earlier was md5. Other encoders can be viewed by using “-e” flag with encoders argument.
wfuzz -e encoders
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhvBbuwsPZ7vGQjR1QqtVQZvP8I2C4t_At9RrJbn3iCvwu2H-H8LPHSqM3YG2UYKTYl39p2B2RPzelveFVXcVtNcu04VknQnDC-tNoxDaBnQPLSxiPuyfEZJ2V26s4BuhrA4kv35gaMohPSk1xaY44Recwha7DCDuo0ejU1ocOz3jfFIHqc0h9x9juIHA=s16000

One can fuzz a website for directories by using MD5 output like so:
wfuzz -z file,wordlist/general/common.txt,md5 http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi75p7YlEtq-1FPh1JSxhMA7fbf5DX-PP3AU2BtavHxJANYh7usbjRJGPtGJk7rp7m5zzoMLImklbUwdlVakSijfC_LLFvsbiDecaLk2AAAnkNAsRLy_liLUF5EbipyO6NtwQa2iI8-hyXh1MI-ssddpfBE2sp_NWs0l6NNRTd5bhyCvkl02dJt_CoKuQ=s16000 Storing and restoring fuzz from recipesTo make scanning easy, wfuzz can save and restore sessions using the “–dump-recipe” and “–recipe” flag.
wfuzz -w wordlist/general/common.txt --dump-recipe /tmp/recipe --sc 200,301 http://testphp.vulnweb.com/FUZZ
wfuzz --recipe /tmp/recipe
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj7LUElLYhpYB9IZ4t7QhgYkW_TOSbV22webF-TPlRT3jFGSVl0ohMuHHvSKaEC-VrmM-bo9uUIBwvIrtkXyWEln6wdUT4JDQtiUbSytm4t1EbWytLtZ6MAt2iZt-qnSvHoLSORsQhZ8v2Zv31s9FPesOa5UZCnk4gY7EzIH-50Cdch55GYkrWL2I_Pag=s16000 Ignoring exceptions and errorsOften while fuzzing, there are various errors and exceptions that a website can throw. “-Z” option can make wfuzz ignore these errors and exceptions. First, we run a normal subdomain fuzzing routine and then with -Z option:
wfuzz -z list,support-web-none http://FUZZ.google.com/
wfuzz -z list,support-web-none -Z http://FUZZ.google.com/
As you could see, -Z ignores that error on the bott[...]

om. Further, any invalid response can also be hidden like so:
wfuzz -z list,support-web-none -Z --hc “XXX” http://FUZZ.google.com/
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiD9jm1E8_cStPYZPaulqoSi2Y8nJdokCNIwpEWEom0sRkfGSpc2PozAZIkw9C2cUwyj8DfG0i9-Jd3Cqbo0F2cO4ZvuHKiWEAyfRUS8d5ThiUk5qBHe9GN6wjWZmbCJJ4p6dM2RavBQgRT2_8ig-Mok3YuX9Xs_EIuXb1aGKPD-2_znEeQhVYOrZGKkg=s16000 Filtering resultsThere are many filters available to manipulate a payload or output.
wfuzz --filter-help
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjVyvyB69OSItJOJD2LS0sLdjnnchl5EcJsbNvbUgl3vjodEfcwf_OpsaGIGhC48VqEBXLAU9qsiWOf7hxTvyoQcfy7_bs46GIct9FZFJbbEfGWZc-1mTwRrSZqaYIDx-_hD3Vnal4JDxR9OcCAnnXyTvpWYN3KsDU2vGRylvnrOCiFY0nEXYccHiBvbg=s16000

These can be manipulated using “–filter, –slice, –field and –efield” arguments.

For example, to view raw responses of the payload sent and the complete HTTP request made, you can use “–efield r” option
wfuzz -z range --zD 0-1 -u http://testphp.vulnweb.com/artists.php?artist=FUZZ --efield r
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhKTOILk3-hpuhZPLV_hi8Ql8uqYFTORWbtX9oSjW3_f3fVLA1ngVjYua7ageWS6JZMFUybo0u0tpw7kyxu5cRFyKdW7qNXvVgX5I68WUYrKPsytSa5xc7Ka5TTbv8o_McTFvWHtG6PjTIjs_nXRcYXkOEvC3wgQvscNrfKYmWGNx3yjLUD-Hwrs5riKg=s16000

However, if only the intended URL is needed, one can do it by providing –efield url input.
wfuzz -z range --zD 0-1 -u http://testphp.vulnweb.com/artists.php?artist=FUZZ --efield url --efield h
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJ_FwFIQmIWvrijOnnHH-0_M_7CuRXhQiXN_z0aD5hwkAhQ8ZwP5HlTVAqK4ClcZOlcRCMO3QEqpMT9Q7FnKxv-clGApz2TWArzPOL1S1N8LhzT-cD2lSEIktD7ybr19dFkPMqQdt4HWnQjKKdIrjKLXsFG3i1U6vyq1vWggdV5TYJxUHLVHdStfEN4A=s16000

Similarly, to filter out results based on the response code and the length of the page (lines greater than 97), you can do it like:
wfuzz -z range,0-10 --filter "c=200 and l>97" http://testphp.vulnweb.com/listproducts.php?cat=FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhTz9IW7TuDaGR2gHYJka_pc2JkQmPAQriH1MDM5o1RXMoZAEvu9thHupG7bVCbcEGAnRU1L8PLB9q-Z-FTKDk4t7WMvMrkKF-kpoXymmlSX6370ORwRDDaP5YQxjkqq5IINGyVBM8D2CFw1oebJTy-18UQmVFZMTNgNxAk4O2HER2u6xIUBzfSPRQ_PQ=s16000

A detailed table of all the filters for the payloads can be found here. Sessions in wfuzzA session in wfuzz is a temporary file which can be saved and later picked up, re-processed and post-processed. This is helpful in situations where one result saved already needs alterations or an analyst needs to look for something in the results. “–oF” filter can save the session output to a file.
wfuzz --oF /tmp/session -z range,0-10 http://testphp.vulnweb.com/listproducts.php?cat=FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQiKQ7sXGQnyi9B1aFwMPZyKYurNtxp-Bs8Ld3mb80cTOkw2Q6zYN5Pq2rmGaeW-mu7nuQ1_g0f4BGGz0BAug5hUspnVSUYAaDZi3z1myhncY1vKv-rpICqdTZGBt9dfM8vDjAJ9nXyi9FEHcGsgRSiQ2nQdKZKOFH0cwDHQI5uOINnzD-72oz2g9gPQ=s16000

This session file can now be opened up again and consumed using the “wfuzzp” payload like so:
wfuzz -z wfuzzp,/tmp/session FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEikpddZ5GSmzRSbZmabTMNgyDR7kcrU-8LyZHru3ejhiey3fU5a_DimxLoe0Dut9A8O81m8q1oQF_f2o7rxLIHTDVx_oNOA0xdwdtu8_62OYY85Lqd21Edx2NukpaQigPIHL3dm38r2HbFaut3FWGtOwXH-QBD2aQOanQfKHhuwNQepwwrepNOnJWpYEg=s16000

One such example of this filteration from a previously saved session is as follows where we find an SQL injection vulnerability by utilizing a Python regex designed to read responses after a request modifies a parameter by adding an apostrophe (‘) and fuzzing again. “-A” displays a verbose output.

The regex r.params.get=+’\’  adds apostrophe (‘) in the get parameter. r stands for a raw response.
wfuzz -z range,1-5 --oF /tmp/session http://testphp.vulnweb.com/artists.php?artist=FUZZ
wfuzz -z wfuzzp,/tmp/session --prefilter "r.params.get=+'\''" -A FUZZ
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjMhBuzyEJE4W7udyMkHvrKivAHo9h9Wm[...]

As you can see, request number 4 throws an SQL error which indicates SQL injection. For more regex operations refer here. ConclusionWfuzz is a versatile tool that can perform more than just directory enumeration and truly help a pentester in his analyses. It’s a fast scanner that is easy to use and coded in python for portability. Hope you liked the article. Thanks for reading.

hacking: security in practice
Just got doxxed by DoD?!?

TL;DR: I spent a good part of my early twenties as a hacktivist. Various government agencies have contacted me over the years with every tactic you can think of (sales pitch, intimidation, etc). Today was the worst. An unknown individual doxxed me in minutes and knew every detail of my life.

I'm not hiding behind anonymity on this one. I'm whistle-blowing. I've long held the belief that to remove yourself as a person of interest in the cyber security space, you need to be noisy and too high of a risk for anyone to want to recruit you.

Over the years, I have watched friends disappear for unknown reasons. Leaving behind families and being nothing more than another missing person report. All because they had a skillset in software engineering or cryptography. I don't want to be one of them.

Today, I decided to kick up a couple of loose layers of security (VPN, vanilla virtual machine, etc) and pop into some old channels and see what the scoop was on Ukraine/Russia and the current state of the world. Within an hour of just chatting in these groups, I get a call on my cell phone (no info in the caller ID, just dashes) and a man on the other end basically summarizing my last year of life and history in tech back to me.. with then a pitch: "come work with us at the Department of Defence." I declined quickly and hung up. I'm not impressed with being doxxed, and I don't think there's anything "cool" or "exciting" about working for some three-letter agency in the US as this recruiter was trying to pitch. To be honest, this is Big Brother and it's no different than what I've seen with friends and colleagues of mine in Russia.

The US government is terrifying. Their willingness to treat people as commodities is horrendous. And despite being an optimistic patriot hoping that one day this country will be one I can be proud of... at this moment I am full of fear and despair about our country's journey.

As a hacker, I'm usually fearless because of my confidence in a cloak of invisibility. As a US citizen, I'm more scared of what my own government will do to me (i.e. indentured servant) for my skillset than I am any other power or group in the world.

Edit:

I'm not saying that I believe it's DoD either. It's possible someone is posing. But it's not me. I'm just sharing the facts in short summary and the underlying truth: one way or another it's unsettling to be contacted randomly by anyone and I have a major fear of US agencies. I'm being vulnerable and feeling so exposed. This isn't a 1337 or masterhacker brag. Quite the opposite: it shows that I'm not as secure as I so confidently thought I was.

Whoever the person actually was at the other end of the line is irrelevant. It was someone recruiting, that much is clear.. and I certainly have no reason to trust my own government, so there's no reason for me at this moment to doubt the authenticity of the claim.
