SRLabs Gobuster¶

SRL_Gobuster is a tool used to brute-force and perform web tests:

• URIs (directories and files) in web sites.

Compared to the original version it adds the following features:

• Enhanced False Positives detection.
• Integration with Nikto tests wordlist.

The wordlist we used is a enhanced version of the test list used by Nikto.

Common Command line options¶

• `-fw` - force processing of a domain with wildcard results.
• `-np` - hide the progress output.
• `-q` - disables banner/underline output.
• `-t <threads>` - number of threads to run (default: `10`).
• `-u <url/domain>` - full URL (including scheme), or base domain name.
• `-v` - verbose output (show all results).
• `-w <wordlist>` - path to the nikto tests wordlist used for brute forcing.
• `-V` - path to the nikto variable file.
• `-v` - show verbose output.
• `-k` - Skip verification of SSL certificates.
• `-a <user agent string>` - specify a user agent string to send in the request header.
• `-c <http cookies>` - use this to specify any cookies that you might need (simulating auth).
• `-oj <path>` - output file for JSON export.
• `-o <file>` - specify a file name to write the output to.
• `-p <proxy url>` - specify a proxy to use for all requests (scheme much match the URL scheme).
• `-P <password>` - HTTP Authorization password (Basic Auth only, prompted if missing).
• `-U <username>` - HTTP Authorization username (Basic Auth only).
• `-to <timeout>` - HTTP timeout. Examples: 10s, 100ms, 1m (default: 10s).

Building¶

Since this tool is written in [Go](https://golang.org/) you need install the Go language/compiler/etc. Full details of installation and set up can be found [on the Go language website](https://golang.org/doc/install). Once installed you have two options.

Compiling¶

First of all we need to clone srl_gobuster:

git clone https://opensource.srlabs.de:/git/srl_gobuster.git

gobuster now has external dependencies, and so they need to be pulled in first:

gobuster $ cd $srl_gobuster_directory
gobuster $ export GOPATH=$(pwd); go get; go build

This will create a `gobuster` binary for you. If you want to install it in the `$GOPATH/bin` folder you can run:

gobuster $ go install

If you have all the dependencies already, you can make use of the build scripts:

• `make` - builds for the current Go configuration (ie. runs `go build`).
• `make windows` - builds 32 and 64 bit binaries for windows, and writes them to the `build` subfolder.
• `make linux` - builds 32 and 64 bit binaries for linux, and writes them to the `build` subfolder.
• `make darwin` - builds 32 and 64 bit binaries for darwin, and writes them to the `build` subfolder.
• `make all` - builds for all platforms and architectures, and writes the resulting binaries to the `build` subfolder.
• `make clean` - clears out the `build` subfolder.
• `make test` - runs the tests.

Running as a script¶

gobuster $ go run main.go <parameters>

Examples¶

Command line might look like this:

$ ./srl_gobuster -k -w ./db_test.txt -V db_variables -u https://example.com
