xray VS SQLMap

Hi folks, I released bruter a golang tool that I enjoyed building:

It is a simple app that was built as an experiment while dusting my Go skils. It is indeed very much inspired by (https://github.com/evilsocket/xray) (but hey not copied ;)). The tooling can be used to test webservers and validate configurations, but not just!

What does it do?

It grabs HostInfo data from Shodan APIs, so you will need a Token to try this out

It collects banners for various services FTP, SSH, MYSQL, IRC, SMTP

It collects HTTP headers

It brute force directories on WebServers and reports results (200, 403)

It produces a Web UI for presentation

Check it out and let me know what you think! Feedbacks are very welcome :D

sqlmap

A few weeks ago, I took a short cyber security course on Udemy. SQL injection was a section of the course. I knew about the concept though, I hadn't tried it. I was planning to make a Restful API server and tried SQL injection using a tool sqlmap, which was introduced in the course. While I could have used existing server code, I decided to build one from scratch. It's been a while since I worked on a Restful API server, and I wanted to refresh my knowledge for learning purposes.

I recommend looking for an alternative or if you must do it this way test it with https://sqlmap.org to make sure you are not vulnerable to the lowest effort attacks.

The DAST checks can be automated up to a certain point, where the code should be able to withstand certain scans and attacks. For eg. SQL Injections can be checked with sqlmap which tests with each and every type of sql injection payload and reports it back to the user.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/sqlmapproject/sqlmap.git sqlmap-dev

Sounds good, why not try making a simple vulnerability scanner for APIs too? Maybe something similar to SQLMap

Its not that much of a tool than wrappers of few awesome tools that most of you probably know and use today - sqlmap, bbot and nikto.

I'm excited to share with you my latest contributions to the GitHub community: a collection of free GitHub Actions designed to streamline and enhance security practices utilizing DAST and OSINT tooling that is widely used - sqlmap, bbot and nikto. There were no GH Actions that I could find, so I made them for my use case, but figured everyone can benefit from those awesome tools.
