Parth

Heuristic Vulnerable Parameter Scanner

Introduction

Some HTTP parameter names are more commonly associated with one functionality than the others. For example, the parameter ?url= usually contains URLs as the value and hence often falls victim to file inclusion, open redirect and SSRF attacks. Parth can go through your burp history, a list of URLs or it's own discovered URLs to find such parameter names and the risks commonly associated with them. Parth is designed to aid web security testing by helping in prioritization of components for testing.

Usage

Installation: pip3 install parth

Import targets from a file

This option works for all 3 supported import types: Burp Suite history, newline delimited text file or a HTTP request text file.

parth -i example.history

Import targets from stdin

cat urls | parth

An exclusive option --pipe is available when importing targets from stdin. It can be used to output URLs vulnerable to a specific vulnerabily.

cat urls | parth --pipe xss

Supported Issues: lfi, ssrf, sqli, xss, open_redirect, rce

Find URLs for a domain

This option will make use of CommonCrawl, Open Threat Exchange and Waybackmachine to find URLs of the target domain.

parth -t example.com

Ignore duplicate parameter names

Same parameter names across all URLs are ignored.

parth -ut example.com

Save parameter names

This option will write all the parameter names found in a file with name params-{target}.txt for later use.

parth -pt example.com

JSON Output

The following command will save the result as a JSON object in the specified file.

parth -t example.com -o example.json

The database of parameter names and the risks associated with them is mainly created from the public work of various people of the community such as @Jhaddix.
