Packages and Binaries:
arjun
HTTP parameter discovery suite
This package can find query parameters for URL endpoints.
Web applications use parameters (or queries) to accept user input, take the following example into consideration.
http://api.example.com/v1/userinfo?id=751634589
This URL seems to load user information for a specific user id, but what if there exists a parameter named admin which when set to True makes the endpoint provide more information about the user? This is what Arjun does, it finds valid HTTP parameters with a huge default dictionary of 25,890 parameter names. It takes less than 10 seconds to go through this huge list while making just 50-60 requests to the target.
Some features:
- Supports GET/POST/POST-JSON/POST-XML requests;
- Automatically handles rate limits and timeouts;
- Export results to: BurpSuite, text or JSON file;
- Import targets from: BurpSuite, text file or a raw request file;
- Can passively extract parameters from JS or 3 external sources.
Arjun is useful for penetration testing (PENTEST) and network security analysis, serving as OSINT.
