An OOB interaction gathering server and client library

Features β€’ Usage β€’ Interactsh Client β€’ Interactsh Server β€’ Interactsh Integration β€’ Join Discord


Interactsh is an open-source tool for detecting out-of-band interactions. It is a tool designed to detect vulnerabilities that cause external interactions.

Features

  • DNS/HTTP(S)/SMTP(S)/LDAP Interaction
  • CLI / Web / Burp / ZAP / Docker client
  • AES encryption with zero logging
  • Automatic ACME based Wildcard TLS w/ Auto Renewal
  • DNS Entries for Cloud Metadata service
  • Self-Hosted Interactsh Server
  • NTLM/SMB/FTP/RESPONDER Listener (self-hosted)
  • Wildcard / Protected Interactions (self-hosted)
  • Customizable Payload Length (self-hosted)
  • Custom SSL Certificate (self-hosted)

Interactsh Client

Usage

interactsh-client -h

This will display help for the tool. Here are all the switches it supports.

Usage:
  ./interactsh-client [flags]

Flags:
INPUT:
   -s, -server string  interactsh server(s) to use (default "oast.pro,oast.live,oast.site,oast.online,oast.fun,oast.me")

CONFIG:
   -config string                           flag configuration file (default "$HOME/.config/interactsh-client/config.yaml")
   -n, -number int                          number of interactsh payload to generate (default 1)
   -t, -token string                        authentication token to connect protected interactsh server
   -pi, -poll-interval int                  poll interval in seconds to pull interaction data (default 5)
   -nf, -no-http-fallback                   disable http fallback registration
   -cidl, -correlation-id-length int        length of the correlation id preamble (default 20)
   -cidn, -correlation-id-nonce-length int  length of the correlation id nonce (default 13)
   -sf, -session-file string                store/read from session file

FILTER:
   -dns-only   display only dns interaction in CLI output
   -http-only  display only http interaction in CLI output
   -smtp-only  display only smtp interactions in CLI output

OUTPUT:
   -o string  output file to write interaction data
   -json      write output in JSONL(ines) format
   -v         display verbose interaction

Interactsh CLI Client

Interactsh Cli client requires go1.17+ to install successfully. Run the following command to get the repo -

go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/interactsh/cmd/interactsh-client@latest

Default Run

This will generate a unique payload that can be used for OOB testing with minimal interaction information in the output.

Using Self-Hosted server

Using the server flag, interactsh-client can be configured to connect with a self-hosted Interactsh server, this flag accepts single or multiple server separated by comma.

interactsh-client -server hackwithautomation.com

We maintain a list of default Interactsh servers to use with interactsh-client:

  • oast.pro
  • oast.live
  • oast.site
  • oast.online
  • oast.fun
  • oast.me

Default servers are subject to change/rotate/down at any time, thus we recommend using a self-hosted interactsh server if you are experiencing issues with the default server.

Using Protected Self-Hosted server

Using the token flag, interactsh-client can connect to a self-hosted Interactsh server that is protected with authentication.

interactsh-client -server hackwithautomation.com -token XXX

Using with Notify

If you are away from your terminal, you may use notify to send a real-time interaction notification to any supported platform.

interactsh-client | notify

Interactsh Web Client

Interactsh-web is a free and open-source web client that displays Interactsh interactions in a well-managed dashboard in your browser. It uses the browser's local storage to store and display all incoming interactions. By default, the web client is configured to use interact.sh as default interactsh server, and supports other self-hosted public/authencaited interactsh servers as well.

A hosted instance of interactsh-web client is available at https://app.interactsh.com

interactsh-web

Interactsh Docker Client

A Docker image is also provided with interactsh client that is ready to run and can be used in the following way:

docker run projectdiscovery/interactsh-client:latest
docker run projectdiscovery/interactsh-client:latest

OWASP ZAP Add-On

Interactsh can be used with OWASP ZAP via the OAST add-on for ZAP. With ZAP's scripting capabilities, you can create powerful out-of-band scan rules that leverage Interactsh's features. A standalone script template has been provided as an example (it is added automatically when you install the add-on).

  • Install the OAST add-on from the ZAP Marketplace.
  • Go to Tools β†’ Options β†’ OAST and select Interactsh.
  • Configure the options for the client and click on "New Payload" to generate a new payload.
  • OOB interactions will appear in the OAST Tab and you can click on any of them to view the full request and response.
  • See the OAST add-on documentation for more info.

We are using GoDaddy for domain name and DigitalOcean droplet for the server, a basic $5 droplet should be sufficient to run self-hosted Interactsh server. If you are not using GoDaddy, follow your registrar's process for creating / updating DNS entries.

Configuring Interactsh server

Install interactsh-server on your VPS

go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/interactsh/cmd/interactsh-server@latest

Considering domain name setup is completed, run the below command to run interactsh-server

interactsh-server -domain INTERACTSH_DOMAIN

Following is an example of a successful installation and operation of a self-hosted server:

interactsh-server

A number of needed flags are configured automatically to run interactsh-server with default settings. For example, ip and listen-ip flags set with the Public IP address of the system when possible.

Running Interactsh Server

interactsh-server -domain interact.sh

Custom SSL Certificate

The certmagic library is used by default by interactsh server to produce wildcard certificates for requested domain in an automatic way. To use your own SSL certificate with self-hosted interactsh server, cert and privkey flag can be used to provider required certificate files.

Note: To utilize all of the functionality of the SSL protocol, a wildcard certificate is mandatory.

interactsh-server -d hackwithautomation.com -cert hackwithautomation.com.crt -privkey hackwithautomation.com.key

Interactsh Integration

Use as library

The below example uses interactsh client library to get external interactions for a generated URL by making a http request to the URL.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"time"

	"github.com/projectdiscovery/interactsh/pkg/client"
	"github.com/projectdiscovery/interactsh/pkg/server"
)

func main() {
	client, err := client.New(client.DefaultOptions)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer client.Close()

	client.StartPolling(time.Duration(1*time.Second), func(interaction *server.Interaction) {
		fmt.Printf("Got Interaction: %v => %v\n", interaction.Protocol, interaction.FullId)
	})
	defer client.StopPolling()

	URL := client.URL()

	resp, err := http.Get("https://" + URL)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	resp.Body.Close()

	fmt.Printf("Got URL: %v => %v\n", URL, resp)
	time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
}

Nuclei - OAST

Nuclei vulnerability scanner utilize Interactsh for automated payload generation and detection of out of band based security vulnerabilities.

See Nuclei + Interactsh Integration blog and guide document for more information.

Cloud Metadata

Interactsh server supports DNS records for cloud metadata services, which is useful for testing SSRF-related vulnerabilities.

Currently supported metadata services:
