ffuf - Fuzz Faster U Fool

A fast web fuzzer written in Go.

Installation

• Download a prebuilt binary from releases page, unpack and run!

  or

• If you have recent go compiler installed: go get -u github.com/ffuf/ffuf (the same command works for updating)

  or

• git clone https://github.com/ffuf/ffuf ; cd ffuf ; go get ; go build

Ffuf depends on Go 1.13 or greater.

Example usage

The usage examples below show just the simplest tasks you can accomplish using ffuf.

For more extensive documentation, with real life usage examples and tips, be sure to check out the awesome guide: "Everything you need to know about FFUF" by Michael Skelton (@codingo).

Typical directory discovery

By using the FUZZ keyword at the end of URL (-u):

ffuf -w /path/to/wordlist -u https://target/FUZZ

Virtual host discovery (without DNS records)

Assuming that the default virtualhost response size is 4242 bytes, we can filter out all the responses of that size (-fs 4242)while fuzzing the Host - header:

ffuf -w /path/to/vhost/wordlist -u https://target -H "Host: FUZZ" -fs 4242

GET parameter fuzzing

GET parameter name fuzzing is very similar to directory discovery, and works by defining the FUZZ keyword as a part of the URL. This also assumes an response size of 4242 bytes for invalid GET parameter name.

ffuf -w /path/to/paramnames.txt -u https://target/script.php?FUZZ=test_value -fs 4242

If the parameter name is known, the values can be fuzzed the same way. This example assumes a wrong parameter value returning HTTP response code 401.

ffuf -w /path/to/values.txt -u https://target/script.php?valid_name=FUZZ -fc 401

POST data fuzzing

This is a very straightforward operation, again by using the FUZZ keyword. This example is fuzzing only part of the POST request. We're again filtering out the 401 responses.

ffuf -w /path/to/postdata.txt -X POST -d "username=admin\&password=FUZZ" -u https://target/login.php -fc 401

Maximum execution time

If you don't want ffuf to run indefinitely, you can use the -maxtime. This stops the entire process after a given time (in seconds).

ffuf -w /path/to/wordlist -u https://target/FUZZ -maxtime 60

When working with recursion, you can control the maxtime per job using -maxtime-job. This will stop the current job after a given time (in seconds) and continue with the next one. New jobs are created when the recursion functionality detects a subdirectory.

ffuf -w /path/to/wordlist -u https://target/FUZZ -maxtime-job 60 -recursion -recursion-depth 2

It is also possible to combine both flags limiting the per job maximum execution time as well as the overall execution time. If you do not use recursion then both flags behave equally.

Using external mutator to produce test cases

For this example, we'll fuzz JSON data that's sent over POST. Radamsa is used as the mutator.

When --input-cmd is used, ffuf will display matches as their position. This same position value will be available for the callee as an environment variable $FFUF_NUM. We'll use this position value as the seed for the mutator. Files example1.txt and example2.txt contain valid JSON payloads. We are matching all the responses, but filtering out response code 400 - Bad request:

ffuf --input-cmd 'radamsa --seed $FFUF_NUM example1.txt example2.txt' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -u https://ffuf.io.fi/FUZZ -mc all -fc 400

It of course isn't very efficient to call the mutator for each payload, so we can also pre-generate the payloads, still using Radamsa as an example:

# Generate 1000 example payloads
radamsa -n 1000 -o %n.txt example1.txt example2.txt

# This results into files 1.txt ... 1000.txt
# Now we can just read the payload data in a loop from file for ffuf

ffuf --input-cmd 'cat $FFUF_NUM.txt' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -u https://ffuf.io.fi/ -mc all -fc 400

Configuration files

When running ffuf, it first checks if a default configuration file exists. The file path for it is ~/.ffufrc / $HOME/.ffufrc for most *nixes (for example /home/joohoi/.ffufrc) and %USERPROFILE%\.ffufrc for Windows. You can configure one or multiple options in this file, and they will be applied on every subsequent ffuf job. An example of .ffufrc file can be found here.

The configuration options provided on the command line override the ones loaded from ~/.ffufrc. Note: this does not apply for CLI flags that can be provided more than once. One of such examples is -H (header) flag. In this case, the -H values provided on the command line will be appended to the ones from the config file instead.

Additionally, in case you wish to use bunch of configuration files for different use cases, you can do this by defining the configuration file path using -config command line flag that takes the file path to the configuration file as its parameter.

Usage

To define the test case for ffuf, use the keyword FUZZ anywhere in the URL (-u), headers (-H), or POST data (-d).
