Turbo Intruder: Script with randomly generated strings

Peter | Last updated: Oct 23, 2023 10:52AM UTC

The integrated Intruder is great, but I still wanted to use the speed of the Turbo Intruder for some tests in our fuzzy lab. The handling of the characterstrings to be generated has to be very flexible and this is what came out of it (unfortunately I don't know how to format the script perfectly here). Feel free to test the script. ------------schnipp------------------------- """ You can manipulate the program in any way you want using the variables in the "MAKE YOUR CHANGES JUST HERE" block. The simplest value you need is the numeric variable "how_many_attacks". You use this variable to set the number of queries. Which area of the ASCII table should be used -------------------------------------------- You can also specify the area of the ASCII table that you want to use to generate the character strings (ASCII_start and ASCII_end). If there are characters in the range that you don't want, set the boolean variable "exclude_characters_flag" to "True". Then the predefined list (exclude_characters) is used to remove these characters from the generated string. Increasing character string lengths ----------------------------------- If you want to test the application with increasing character string lengths, no problem. Set the numeric variable "stringlength_min" to the value of the smallest length you need and "stringlength_max" to the largest length. But be careful: If the number of queries (how_many_attacks) is less than the value of "how_many_attacks", the value "stringlength_max" will never be reached. To achieve this, "stringlength_max" should have the same value as "how_many_attacks". If "stringlength_min" and "stringlength_max" have the same value, no iteration occurs. Number of markers (%s) ---------------------- The numeric variable "number_of_markers" contains the number of markers (%s) you set in the request. If the value of "number_of_markers" is higher than the number of %s in the request, nothing happens, the unnecessary values simply disappear into nirvana. However, if the number of "%s" in the request is greater than the value in "number_of_markers", problems may arise. The Turbo Intruder replaces the first occurrence of %s in the request, then the second, and so on. If the script does not provide any other string, the request will only send "%s" at this point. Ampersand and question mark --------------------------- The Boolean variables "ampersand" and "questionmark", as the name indicates, regulate the handling of the ampersand and the question mark. URLs use question marks as "separators". This marks the end of the navigable part of the URL. Parameters to an HTTP GET request are key/value pairs, separated by an ampersand. If these characters are also in the list, the test would only produce inaccurate results. As a result, ampersand and questionmark should be set to False. The characters cannot be easily removed from the string because the defined length of the variables "stringlength_min" and "stringlength_max" would no longer be correct. Therefore, the character that will be used instead can be defined in the numeric variable "use_instead". Sort list and remove duplicate entries -------------------------------------- Anyone who, for whatever reason, would like to have the characterlist sorted and duplicate entries removed can do this using the Boolean variable "clean_the_list". By default the value is False. However, if you want them cleaned and sorted, set the value to True. But be careful: By removing duplicate characters, the number of string lengths specified in the "stringlength_min" and "stringlength_max" variables is no longer correct. The program doesn't care. If it doesn't bother you, do it. Add characters that are outside the selected ASCII range -------------------------------------------------------- If you set the boolean variable "include_characters_flag" to True, additional characters contained in "include_characters" will be added to the list. This makes sense if, for example, you want the characters '!', '$', '%', '@' in the generated string, even though you have set "ASCII_start" to 48 and "ASCII_end" to 57 (the list only contains characters 0 to 9): Not a good example, I know, but I can't think of a better one at the moment. You'll probably come up with something that makes total sense. I tried to document the source code in such a way that it can be understood by Python beginners. If that's not the case, I certainly tried my best.
