Commonspeak2 leverages publicly available datasets from Google BigQuery to generate content discovery and subdomain wordlists.
As these datasets are updated on a regular basis, the wordlists generated via Commonspeak2 reflect the current technologies used on the web.
By using the Golang client for BigQuery, we can stream the data and process it very quickly. The future of this project will revolve around improving the quality of wordlists generated by creating automated filters and substitution functions.
Let's turn creating wordlists from a manual task, into a reproducible and reliable science with BigQuery.
We will update the commonspeak2-wordlists repo with any wordlists generated the Commonspeak2 tool.
More infrastructure will be developed to deliver wordlists continuously and this section will be updated in the future.

Upon completing the above steps, Commonspeak2 can be used in the following ways:
Currently subdomains are extracted from HackerNews and HTTPArchive's latest scans. Unlike the previous revision of Commonspeak, the datasets and queries have been optimised to contain valid data that occurs often in the wild.
⟩ ./commonspeak2 --project crunchbox-160315 --credentials credentials.json subdomains -o subdomains.txt
INFO[0000] Generated SQL template for HackerNews. Mode=Subdomains
INFO[0000] Generated SQL template for HTTPArchive. Mode=Subdomains
INFO[0000] Executing BigQuery SQL... this could take some time. Mode=Subdomains Source=hackernews
INFO[0019] Total rows extracted 71415. Mode=Subdomains Silent=false Source=hackernews Verbose=false
INFO[0019] Executing BigQuery SQL... this could take some time. Mode=Subdomains Source=httparchive
INFO[0075] Total rows extracted 484701. Mode=Subdomains Silent=false Source=httparchive Verbose=false
Using a single query on GitHub's dataset, we can extract every path filtered by file extension. This can be done with:
⟩ ./commonspeak2 --project crunchbox-160315 --credentials credentials.json ext-wordlist -e jsp -l 100000 -o jsp.txt
INFO[0000] Executing BigQuery SQL... this could take some time. Extensions=jsp Limit=100000 Mode=WordsWithExt Source=Github
INFO[0013] Total rows extracted 100000. Mode=WordsWithExt Source=Github
Any set of extensions can be passed via the -e flag, i.e. -e aspx,php,html,js.
Using GitHub's commits dataset, we can extract what may be files that developers decided to delete from their public repositories. These files may contain sensitive data. This can be done with:
⟩ ./commonspeak2 --project crunchbox-160315 --credentials credentials.json deleted-files -l 50000 -o deleted.txt
INFO[0000] Executing BigQuery SQL... this could take some time. Limit=50000 Mode=DeletedFiles Source=Github
INFO[0013] Total rows extracted 50000. Mode=DeletedFiles Source=Github

Routes Based Extraction
We can create SQL statements that cover routing patterns in almost any web framework. For now we support the following web frameworks to extract path's from:
- Rails [working implementation ✅]
- NodeJS [to be implemented ❎]
- Tomcat [to be implemented ❎]
This data can be extracted using the following command:
⟩ ./commonspeak2 --project crunchbox-160315 --credentials credentials.json routes --frameworks rails -l 100000 -o rails-routes.txt
WARNING: running the above query will cost you lots of money (over $20 per framework). Commonspeak2 will prompt to confirm that this is OK. To skip this prompt use the --silent flag.
When this is ran on for Rails routes, Commonspeak2 does the following:
- Pulls Rails routes from
config/routes.rbusing Regex and the latest Github dataset. - Processes the data, converts it into paths and does contexual replacements to make the path valid (i.e. converting
/:idto/1234) - Normalizes the path, finally saving to disk after all the processing is complete.
Scheduled Wordlist Generation
Planned feature to use a cron-like system to allow for wordlist generation from BigQuery to happen continuously.
When this command is introduced, we will insert the --schedule parameter to any of our pre-existing commands covered in this README like so:
⟩ ./commonspeak2 --project crunchbox-160315 --credentials credentials.json --schedule weekly routes --frameworks nodejs,tomcat -l 100000 -o nodejs-tomcat-routes.txt
The above query will run a weekly BigQuery and save the output to ./nodejs-tomcat-routes.txt.
Substitutions and Alterations
Generate smart substitutions and alterations for the datasets that it makes sense for. For example, converting string values from /admin/users/:id to /admin/users/1234 (contextually aware of the number).
