Word Cloud

These are helpers related to BBOT's Word Cloud, a mechanism for storing target-specific keywords that are useful for custom wordlists, etc.

Note that these helpers can be invoked directly from self.helpers, e.g.:

self.helpers.word_cloud

DNSMutator

Bases: Mutator

DNS-specific mutator used by the massdns module to generate target-specific subdomain mutations.

This class extends the Mutator base class to add DNS-specific logic for generating subdomain mutations based on input words. It utilizes custom word extraction patterns and a wordninja model trained on DNS-specific data.

Examples:

>>> s = Scanner("www1.evilcorp.com", "www-test.evilcorp.com")
>>> s.start_without_generator()
>>> s.helpers.word_cloud.dns_mutator.mutations("word")
[
    "word",
    "word-test",
    "word1",
    "wordtest",
    "www-word",
    "wwwword"

WordCloud

Bases: dict

WordCloud is a specialized dictionary-like class for storing and aggregating words extracted from various data sources such as DNS names and URLs. The class is intended to facilitate the generation of target-specific wordlists and mutations.

The WordCloud class can be accessed and manipulated like a standard Python dictionary. It also offers additional methods for generating mutations based on the words it contains.

Attributes:

  • parent_helper

    The parent helper object that provides necessary utilities.

  • devops_mutations

    A set containing common devops-related mutations, loaded from a file.

  • dns_mutator

    An instance of the DNSMutator class for generating DNS-based mutations.

Examples:

>>> s = Scanner("www1.evilcorp.com", "www-test.evilcorp.com")
>>> s.start_without_generator()
>>> print(s.helpers.word_cloud)
{
    "evilcorp": 2,
    "ec": 2,
    "www1": 1,
    "evil": 2,
    "www": 2,
    "w1": 1,
    "corp": 2,
    "1": 1,
    "wt": 1,
    "test": 1,
    "www-test": 1
}
>>> s.helpers.word_cloud.mutations(["word"], cloud=True, numbers=0, devops=False, letters=False)
[
    [
        "1",

load

load(filename=None)

Loads a word cloud from a file. The file can be either a standard wordlist with one entry per line or a .tsv (tab-separated) file where the first row is the count and the second row is the associated entry.

Parameters:

  • filename (str, default: None ) –

    The path to the file from which to load the word cloud. If None, uses a default filename.

  • devops (bool, default: True ) –

    Whether to include devops-related mutations.

  • cloud (bool, default: True ) –

    Whether to include mutations from the word cloud.

  • letters (bool, default: True ) –

    Whether to include letter-based mutations.

  • numbers (int, default: 5 ) –

    The maximum numeric mutations to include.

  • number_padding (int, default: 2 ) –

    Padding for numeric mutations.

  • substitute_numbers (bool, default: True ) –

    Whether to substitute numbers in mutations.

Yields:

  • tuple

    A tuple containing each of the mutation segments.

save

save(filename=None, limit=None)

Saves the word cloud to a file. The cloud can optionally be truncated to the top limit entries.

Parameters:

  • filename (str, default: None ) –

    The path to the file where the word cloud will be saved. If None, uses a default filename.

  • limit (int, default: None ) –

    The maximum number of entries to save to the file. If None, all entries are saved.

Returns:

  • tuple

    A tuple containing a boolean indicating success or failure, and the resolved filename.

Examples:

>>> self.helpers.word_cloud.update({"apple": 5, "banana": 2, "cherry": 8})
>>> self.helpers.word_cloud.save(filename="word_cloud.txt", limit=2)
