authoscope Crates.io

authoscope 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 authoscope 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 authoscope runtime.

Installation

If you are on an Arch Linux based system, use

pacman -S badtouch

If you are on Mac OSX, use

brew install badtouch

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

cargo install

Verify your setup is complete with

authoscope --help

Debian

  1. Install essential build tools sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev pkg-config
  2. Install rust curl -sf -L https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh source $HOME/.cargo/env
  3. Install authoscope cd /path/to/authoscope cargo install

Scripting

A simple script could look like this:

```lua descr = "example.com"

function verify(user, password) session = http_mksession()

-- get csrf token
req = http_request(session, 'GET', 'https://example.com/login', {})
resp = http_send(req)
if last_err() then return end

-- parse token from html
html = resp['text']
csrf = html_select(html, 'input[name="csrf"]')
token = csrf["attrs"]["value"]

-- send login
req = http_request(session, 'POST', 'https://example.com/login', {
    form={
        user=user,
        password=password,
        csrf=token
    }
})
resp = http_send(req)
if last_err() then return end

-- search response for successful login
html = resp['text']
return html:find('Login successful') != nil

end ```

Please see the reference and examples for all available functions. Keep in mind that you can use print(x) and authoscope oneshot to debug your script.

Reference

Calculate an hmac with sha3_512. Returns a binary array. lua hmac_sha3_512("secret", "my authenticated message")

html_select

Parses an html document and returns the first element that matches the css selector. The return value is a table with text being the inner text and attrs being a table of the elements attributes. lua csrf = html_select(html, 'input[name="csrf"]') token = csrf["attrs"]["value"]

htmlselectlist

Same as html_select but returns all matches instead of the first one. lua html_select_list(html, 'input[name="csrf"]')

httpbasicauth

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

lua 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:

lua 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. lua 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 []. lua 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. lua if last_err() then return end

ldap_bind

Connect to an ldap server and try to authenticate with the given user. lua 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. lua ldap_escape(user)

ldapsearchbind

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

Connect to a mysql database and try to authenticate with the provided credentials. Returns a mysql connection on success. lua 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. lua 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. lua 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. lua rand(0, 256)

randombytes

Generate the specified number of random bytes. lua randombytes(16)

sha1

Hash a byte array with sha1 and return the results as bytes. lua hex(sha1("\x00\xff"))

sock_recvall

Receive all data from the socket until EOF. lua x = sock_recvall(sock)

sockrecvlinecontains

Receive lines from the server until a line contains the needle, then return this line. lua x = sock_recvline_contains(sock, needle)

sockrecvlineregex

Receive lines from the server until a line matches the regex, then return this line. lua x = sock_recvline_regex(sock, "^250 ")

sock_recvn

Receive until the needle is found, then write data to the socket. lua sock_sendafter(sock, needle, data)

sock_newline

Overwrite the default \n newline. lua sock_newline(sock, "\r\n")

Configuration

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

Global user agent

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

RLIMIT_NOFILE

```toml [runtime]

requires CAPSYSRESOURCE

sudo setcap 'CAPSYSRESOURCE=+ep' /usr/bin/authoscope

rlimit_nofile = 64000 ```

Wrapping python scripts

The authoscope 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:

```lua 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:

```python 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) ```
