octograb - by evait security GmbH

This tool allows you to match the HTTP responses from an input list and a given path against a specific string.

You have a list of domains, subdomains or IP addresses (domains.txt) with 200 entries. Now you want to check if any of the target domains contains an open git repo on the web-root file system, e.g. www.example.com/.git/. The following command will do the task for all entries in domains.txt:

octograb -f domains.txt -p '/.git/HEAD' -c 'ref:'

The -c parameter contains a string that will matched against the HTTP response. The corresponding HTTP request is a combination of any entry in the domains.txt and the optional -p parameter (path).

If the given string from the -c parameter matches against an HTTP response you will get an output like this:

[+] Content match: www.example.com/.git/HEAD

All requests will be threaded by default (50 threads). You can adjust this behavior with the -t parameter.

Installing from source (make sure your gem path / env is set properly for this):

gem build octograb.gemspec
gem install ./octograb-1.0.0.gem

Alternatively, you can run it directly from source:

bundle config --local path 'vendor/bundle'
bundle install
bundle exec octograb

• output file parameter
• input match file (URL:MATCH) to define multiple URLs to check
• add --data option for post commands
• add --header in order to add custom headers

Why is it written in ruby?

• why not?!

Why not using Go lang?

• Maybe we will migrate to go later. PR welcome!

Why so salty on github issue discussion?

• This is a community project. We are a full time pentesting company and will not go into / care about every open issue that doesn't match our template or guidelines. If you get a rough answer or picture e.g. from a fully underwhelmed cat, you probably deserved it.
