FileBuster - An Extremely Fast And Flexible Web Fuzzer


An extremely fast and flexible web fuzzer.

Why another fuzzer?
My main motivation was to write a script that would allow me to fuzz a website based on a dictionary but that allowed me to filter words on that dictionary based on regex patterns. This necessity came from the frustration of trying to find the pages from the partial results returned by the Soroush's IIS shortname scanner tool ( https://github.com/irsdl/iis-shortname-scanner/ ). In case that you're not aware of, most IIS web servers version 7.5 or below are vulnerable to filenames partial name discovery by requesting those pages in the format 8.3, for example: abcdef~1.zip
Many times I had results like getpag~1.asp, where you can clearly see that the page filename must be "get" followed by a word started with "pag". This gets very easily done on Filebuster:
# perl filebuster.pl -u http://yoursite.com/get{fuzz}.asp -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -p ^pag
Initially Filebuster was just this, a fuzzer with regex support but then I really invested some time on it to support various interesting features while keeping it blazing fast.

Why is it so fast?
Filebuster was built based on one of the fastest HTTP classes in the world (of PERL) - Furl::HTTP. Also the thread modelling is a bit optimized to run as fast as possible.

Features
It packs a ton of features like:
  • The already mentioned Regex patterns
  • 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

Requisites
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 install YAML Furl Switch Benchmark Cache::LRU Net::DNS::Lite List::MoreUtils IO::Socket::SSL URI::Escape HTML::Entities IO::Socket::Socks::Wrapper

Installation
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

Syntax
On the most basic form, Filebuster can be run using the following syntax:
# perl filebuster.pl -u http://yoursite.com/ -w /path/to/wordlist.txt
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.
A more complex example:
# perl filebuster.pl -u http://yoursite.com/{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 .

Wordlists
I've created some wordlists based on different sources around the web for your convenience. You can find them on the wordlists directory. This means you can start using FileBuster right away:
# perl filebuster.pl -u http://yoursite.com/ -w wordlists/normal.txt
If you need more wordlists, you should check out the great SecLists repository.
