badtouch 0.6.1

Scriptable network authentication cracker
Documentation

badtouch Build Status Crates.io

badtouch is a scriptable network authentication cracker. While the space for common service bruteforce is already very well saturated, you may still end up writing your own python scripts when testing credentials for web applications.

The scope of badtouch is specifically cracking custom services. This is done by writing scripts that are loaded into a lua runtime. Those scripts represent a single service and provide a verify(user, password) function that returns either true or false. Concurrency, progress indication and reporting is magically provided by the badtouch runtime.

Installation

If you are on an archlinux based system, use

pacman -S badtouch

To build from source, make sure you have rust and libssl-dev installed and run

cargo install

Verify your setup is complete with

csrf = html_select(html, 'input[name="csrf"]')
token = csrf["attrs"]["value"]

html_select_list

Same as html_select but returns all matches instead of the first one.

html_select_list(html, 'input[name="csrf"]')

http_basic_auth

Sends a GET request with basic auth. Returns true if no WWW-Authenticate header is set and the status code is not 401.

http_basic_auth("https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/foo/buzz", user, password)

http_mksession

Create a session object. This is similar to requests.Session in python-requests and keeps track of cookies.

session = http_mksession()

http_request

Prepares an http request. The first argument is the session reference and cookies from that session are copied into the request. After the request has been sent, the cookies from the response are copied back into the session.

The next arguments are the method, the url and additional options. Please note that you still need to specify an empty table {} even if no options are set. The following options are available:

  • query - a map of query parameters that should be set on the url
  • headers - a map of headers that should be set
  • basic_auth - configure the basic auth header with {"user, "password"}
  • user_agent - overwrite the default user agent with a string
  • json - the request body that should be json encoded
  • form - the request body that should be form encoded
  • body - the raw request body as string
req = http_request(session, 'POST', 'https://httpbin.org/post', {
    json={
        user=user,
        password=password,
    }
})
resp = http_send(req)
if last_err() then return end
if resp["status"] ~= 200 then return "invalid status code" end

http_send

Send the request that has been built with http_request. Returns a table with the following keys:

  • status - the http status code
  • headers - a table of headers
  • text - the response body as string
req = http_request(session, 'POST', 'https://httpbin.org/post', {
    json={
        user=user,
        password=password,
    }
})
resp = http_send(req)
if last_err() then return end
if resp["status"] ~= 200 then return "invalid status code" end

json_decode

Decode a lua value from a json string.

json_decode("{\"data\":{\"password\":\"fizz\",\"user\":\"bar\"},\"list\":[1,3,3,7]}")

json_encode

Encode a lua value to a json string. Note that empty tables are encoded to an empty object {} instead of an empty list [].

x = json_encode({
    hello="world",
    almost_one=0.9999,
    list={1,3,3,7},
    data={
        user=user,
        password=password,
        empty=nil
    }
})

last_err

Returns nil if no error has been recorded, returns a string otherwise.

if last_err() then return end

ldap_bind

Connect to an ldap server and try to authenticate with the given user.

ldap_bind("ldaps://ldap.example.com/",
    "cn=\"" .. ldap_escape(user) .. "\",ou=users,dc=example,dc=com", password)

ldap_escape

Escape an attribute value in a relative distinguished name.

ldap_escape(user)

ldap_search_bind

Connect to an ldap server, log into a search user, search for the target user and then try to authenticate with the first DN that was returned by the search.

ldap_search_bind("ldaps://ldap.example.com/",
    -- the user we use to find the correct DN
    "cn=search_user,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com", "searchpw",
    -- base DN we search in
    "dc=example,dc=com",
    -- the user we test
    user, password)

md5

Hash a byte array with md5 and return the results as bytes.

hex(md5("\x00\xff"))

mysql_connect

Connect to a mysql database and try to authenticate with the provided credentials. Returns a mysql connection on success.

sock = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1", 3306, user, password)

mysql_query

Run a query on a mysql connection. The 3rd parameter is for prepared statements.

rows = mysql_query(sock, 'SELECT VERSION(), :foo as foo', {
    foo='magic'
})

print

Prints the value of a variable. Please note that this bypasses the regular writer and may interfer with the progress bar. Only use this for debugging.

print({
    data={
        user=user,
        password=password
    }
})

rand

Returns a random u32 with a minimum and maximum constraint. The return value can be greater or equal to the minimum boundary, and always lower than the maximum boundary. This function has not been reviewed for cryptographic security.

rand(0, 256)

Configuration

You can place a config file at ~/.config/badtouch.toml to set some defaults.

Global user agent

[runtime]
user_agent = "w3m/0.5.3+git20180125"

RLIMIT_NOFILE

[runtime]
# requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
# sudo setcap 'CAP_SYS_RESOURCE=+ep' /usr/bin/badtouch
rlimit_nofile = 64000

Wrapping python scripts

The badtouch runtime is still very bare bones, so you might have to shell out to your regular python script occasionally. Your wrapper may look like this:

descr = "example.com"

function verify(user, password)
    ret = execve("./docs/test.py", {user, password})
    if last_err() then return end

    if ret == 2 then
        return "script signaled an exception"
    end

    return ret == 0
end

Your python script may look like this:

import sys

try:
    if sys.argv[1] == "foo" and sys.argv[2] == "bar":
        # correct credentials
        sys.exit(0)
    else:
        # incorrect credentials
        sys.exit(1)
except:
    # signal an exception
    # this requeues the attempt instead of discarding it
    sys.exit(2)
