ffuf

What is ffuf?

FFuf is an open source (MIT license) fuzzing tool to detect content and elements on webservers and web applications. People often use it as a web directory bruteforcer, but it is also capable of fuzzing much more than that (e.g. XSS, SQLi,...).

With this scanner the secure code box also installs SecLists wordlists.

Deployment

The ffuf chart can be deployed via helm:

# Install HelmChart (use -n to configure another namespace)
helm upgrade --install ffuf secureCodeBox/ffuf

Scanner Configuration

The mandatory parameters are -u and either -w or --input-cmd (normally -w is used):

• -u: The url to scan (e.g. https://securecodebox.io/FUZZ), which may also contain the FUZZ keyword.
• -w: The path to the wordlist.txt file. How to get your wordlist into the scanner? -> See below at section Wordlist Configmap.

To define the test case for ffuf, use the keyword FUZZ anywhere in the URL (-u), headers (-H), or POST data (-d).

Full argument description from ffuf:

Requirements

Kubernetes: >=v1.11.0-0

Additional Chart Configurations

Wordlist Configmap

ffuf needs a wordlist file. To introduce your wordlist file to your scanner pod, you have to create a configMap:

kubectl create configmap --from-file /path/to/my/wordlist.txt ffuf-config

Or you can use the secureCodeBox predefined (simple stupid) wordlist:

kubectl create configmap --from-file examples/wordlist-config-map/wordlist.txt ffuf-config

If you are in a namespace:

kubectl create configmap --from-file examples/wordlist-config-map/wordlist.txt ffuf-config -n integration-tests

Now just mount that config in your scan and select the mounted path for your ffuf -w option.
