Title: New web application crawler
Post by: H1t M0nk3y on May 25, 2010, 06:24:14 PM
Hey,

I am about 60% done creating a new web application crawler. My goal is not to replace Nikto or any other tool for that matter, but I am more thinking about an application that we can use in the reconnaissance/information gathering phase.

So far, all my prototypes have been successful. Some of tasks it performs are already done by existing tools, and I know that. My goal is to put some of these existing functionalities plus many new ones in one single tool.

It will hae a GUI and a command line interface. Could be multi-threaded later if people like it. Finally, I will give it for free!

So here are the tasks it can/will do against a web site:
- Create a wordlist
- Find all emails, telephone numbers, fax numbers, etc
- Find names and guest possible usernames based on email address
- Find broken links
- Create a site structure
- Display robot.txt file details
- Find typical html files
- Identify all forms
- Search for login screens

My questions are:
1) What else would you find useful from a tool like this?
2) Output format from the command line version?

I want to launch a usefull tool. Not a script or two...

Thanks for you comments!

Well, if you are finding forms, I'd like it to enumerate information about those forms.  I like to know going in whether the form is POST or GET (a single GET in a mess of POST forms may indicate someone moved development code to production).  I also like to know all the fields, names, types, and values (especially hidden fields).  I'd like it to crawl any page with a form a couple of times some user defined time interval apart to see if any pre-defined values for hidden fields change (these are great fuzzing targets).  That's about all I can think of at this late hour.

Thanks former33t for your comment.

It makes sense and I had not thought about this before. I have an idea on what I could do to report this kind of data.

Anyone else?

I will post on this forum when it will be in Beta. Probably August or September.

Thanks former33t.
