Introduction

In the realm of cybersecurity, mastering XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks is a pivotal skill. Today, we embark on a journey to solve labs crafted by the renowned Bortis Wigger, using advanced tools to automate and elevate XSS attacks. Our arsenal includes DalFox, XSStrike , and BurpSuite, each offering unique capabilities to streamline our penetration testing prowess. Let's delve into the intricacies of these tools and unlock the secrets to efficient XSS automation.

DaleFox

Installation

go install github.com/hahwul/dalfox/v2@latest

Goal: Install DaleFox to perform advanced XSS scanning and detection.

Usage

dalfox [mode] [target] [flags]

Example Usage

Single target mode:

dalfox url http://testphp.vulnweb.com/listproducts.php\?cat\=123\&artist\=123\&asdf\=ff \
	-b https://your-callback-url

This command scans a single target URL for XSS vulnerabilities.

Multiple target mode from file:

dalfox file urls_file --custom-payload ./mypayloads.txt

This command scans multiple URLs from a file for XSS vulnerabilities using custom payloads.

Pipeline mode:

cat urls_file | dalfox pipe -H AuthToken: bbadsfkasdfadsf87

This command processes URLs from a file in a pipeline, with additional headers specified.

XSStrike

Installation

git clone https://github.com/s0md3v/XSStrike.git
cd XSStrike
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 xsstrike.py

Goal: Set up XSS Strike to automate XSS testing and identification.

Usage

python3 xsstrike.py [-h] [-u TARGET] [--data DATA] [-t THREADS] [--seeds SEEDS] [--json] [--path] [--fuzzer] [--update] [--timeout] [--params] [--crawl] [--blind] [--skip-dom] [--headers] [--proxy] [-d DELAY] [-e ENCODING]

Example Usage

Scan a single URL:

python3 xsstrike.py -u http://example.com/search.php?q=query

This command tests a single webpage using the GET method.

Supplying POST data:

python3 xsstrike.py -u http://example.com/search.php --data q=query

This command tests a URL with specified POST data.

Crawling

python3 xsstrike.py -u http://example.com/page.php --crawl

This command initiates a crawling process starting from the target webpage.
