xHaust

A fast brute forcer made in Node.js, mostly capable of HTTP attacks. The main mantra of xHaust is speed, reliability and speed

xHaust achieves it's top speed by using the async module, it can execute password tries in parallel with a set limit. Note that Node.js is still single threaded and so is this library. Due to performance reasons the choice to not create multiple threads for this module has been respected, this is because most password tries are finished by the CPU before any other task completes and the CPU can easily exhaust (heh) request speeds before the requests can exhaust the CPU, making threads costly for this kind of goal.

Installation

npm install -g xhaust

Usage

Usage: xhaust [options]

Options:
  -V, --version                        output the version number
  -a, --attackUri <attackUri>          protocol URI to attack
  -u, --user <user>                    username to use in attack payload
  -U, --userFile <userfile>            file full of usernames to use in attack payload
  -p, --pass <pass>                    password to use in attack payload
  -P, --passFile <passfile>            file full of passwords to use in attack payload
  -l, --limitParallel <limitParallel>  max parallel requests at a time
  -b, --batchSize <batchSize>          the get and post requests batch size
  -d, --dryRun <dryRun>                executes the attack in dry run mode
  -T, --test                           run attack on in built local http server for testing
  -v, --verbose                        Shows all debug messages
  -D, --debugFilter <debugFilter>      Filter debug messages
  -t, --tags <tags>                    tags to use for this attack seperated by hypens (Ex. http-post-urlencoded)
  -i, --input <input>                  input string to use as first scan structure data (Ex. form input names configurations)
  -o, --output <output>                output string to use as payload for attack, will replace :username: :password: and :csrf: with respectable values
  -g, --useGui                         enable gui
  -h, --help                           display help for command

Example call:

  $ xhaust -t -a http://somewebsite.com http-post-urlencoded -u admin -P passwords.txt -s 1000 -l 130 -i "csrf=token" -o "username=:username:&password=:password:&csrftoken=:csrf:"`
