Offensive Security Tool: Dalfox

What is DalFox

DalFox by hahwul, is a fast and powerful parameter analysis and XSS scanner, based on a golang/DOM parser. It supports friendly Pipeline, CI/CD and testing of different types of XSS. In regards to the naming: Dal(달) is the Korean pronunciation of moon and fox was made into Fox (Find Of XSS).

This tool is very powerful and fast. The fact that you can use piping and can chain several other tools using it, makes it really effective especially when you want to do your 1 liner attack, combining the recon process to it.

It also means that you can do things like 1 liner powerful attacks as a tip from BHEH:

Meaning you can chain several commands, and even find cross site scripting attacks (XSS) and more! Its highly customizable, so we recommend you check the complete documentation.

Class	Key Feature	Description
Discovery	Parameter analysis	– Find reflected param – Find alive/bad special chars, event handler and attack code – Identification of injection points(HTML/JS/Attribute) inHTML-none inJS-none inJS-double inJS-single inJS-backtick inATTR-none inATTR-double inATTR-single
	Static analysis	– Check bad-header like CSP, XFO, etc.. with req/res base
	BAV analysis	– Testing BAV(Basic Another Vulnerability) , e.g sqli ssti open-redirects, crlf
	Parameter Mining	– Find new param with Dictonary attack (default is GF-Patterns)- Support custom dictonary file (–mining-dict-word) – Find new param with DOM – Use remote wordlist to mining (–remote-wordlists)
	Built-in Grepping	– It Identify the basic info leak of SSTi, Credential, SQL Error, and so on
	WAF Detection and Evasion	– Detect to WAF(Web Application Firewall). – if found waf and using special flag, evasion using slow request – –waf-evasion
Scanning	XSS Scanning	– Reflected XSS / Stored XSS / DOM XSS – DOM base verifying – Headless base verifying – Blind XSS testing with param, header(-b , –blind options) – Only testing selected parameters (-p, –param) – Only testing parameter analysis (–only-discovery)
	Friendly Pipeline	– Single url mode (dalfox url) – From file mode (dalfox file urls.txt) – From IO(pipeline) mode (dalfox pipe) – From raw http request file mode (dalfox file raw.txt –rawdata)
	Optimizaion query of payloads	– Check the injection point through abstraction and generated the fit payload. – Eliminate unnecessary payloads based on badchar
	Encoder	– All test payloads(build-in, your custom/blind) are tested in parallel with the encoder. – To Double URL Encoder – To HTML Hex Encoder
	Sequence	– Auto-check the special page for stored xss (–trigger) – Support (–sequence) options for Stored XSS , only sxss mode
HTTP	HTTP Options	– Overwrite HTTP Method (-X, –method) – Follow redirects (–follow-redirects) – Add header (-H, –header) – Add cookie (-C, –cookie) – Add User-Agent (–user-agent) – Set timeout (–timeout) – Set Delay (–delay) – Set Proxy (–proxy) – Set ignore return codes (–ignore-return) – Load cookie from raw request (–cookie-from-raw)
Concurrency	Worker	– Set worker’s number(-w, –worker)
	N * hosts	– Use multicast mode (–multicast) , only file / pipe mode
Output	Output	– Only the PoC code and useful information is write as Stdout – Save output (-o, –output)
	Format	– JSON / Plain (–format)
	Printing	– Silence mode (–silence) – You may choose not to print the color (–no-color) – You may choose not to print the spinner (–no-spinner) – You may choose show only special poc code (–only-poc)
Extensibility	REST API	– API Server and Swagger (dalfox server)
	Payload Mode	– Generate and Enumerate Payloads for XSS Testing (dalfox payload)
	Found Action	– Lets you specify the actions to take when detected. – Notify, for example (–found-action)
	Custom Grepping	– Can grep with custom regular expressions on response – If duplicate detection, it performs deduplication (–grep)
	Custom Payloads	– Use custom payloads list file (–custom-payload) – Custom alert value (–custom-alert-value) – Custom alert type (–custom-alert-type)
	Remote Payloads	– Use remote payloads from portswigger, payloadbox, etc.. (–remote-payloads)
Package	Package manager	– pkg.go.dev – homebrew with tap – snapcraft
	Docker ENV	– docker hub – gitub package of docker
	Other	– github action

And the various options required for the testing.

Information: Method, grepping name, etc..

Why is there a gap? It is a method to make it easier to parse only the poc code through cut etc. For example, you can do this.

▶ dalfox url http://testphp.vulnweb.com/listproducts.php\\\\?cat\\\\=123\\\\&artist\\\\=123\\\\&asdf\\\\=ff | cut -d ” “ -f 2 > output
▶ cat output
