Nytro Posted July 22, 2018 Report Posted July 22, 2018 Photon Photon is a lightning fast web crawler which extracts URLs, files, intel & endpoints from a target. Yep, I am using 100 threads and Photon won't complain about it because its in Ninja Mode 😎 Why Photon? Not Your Regular Crawler Crawlers are supposed to recursively extract links right? Well that's kind of boring so Photon goes beyond that. It extracts the following information: URLs (in-scope & out-of-scope) URLs with parameters (example.com/gallery.php?id=2) Intel (emails, social media accounts, amazon buckets etc.) Files (pdf, png, xml etc.) JavaScript files & Endpoints present in them The extracted information is saved in an organized manner. Intelligent Multi-Threading Here's a secret, most of the tools floating on the internet aren't properly multi-threaded even if they are supposed to. They either supply a list of items to threads which results in multiple threads accessing the same item or they simply put a thread lock and end up rendering multi-threading useless. But Photon is different or should I say "genius"? Take a look at this and decide yourself. Ninja Mode In Ninja Mode, 3 online services are used to make requests to the target on your behalf. So basically, now you have 4 clients making requests to the same server simultaneously which gives you a speed boost, minimizes the risk of connection reset as well as delays requests from a single client. Here's a comparison generated by Quark where the lines represent threads: Usage -u --url Specifies the URL to crawl. python photon.py -u http://example.com -l --level It specifies how much deeper should photon crawl. python photon.py -u http://example.com -l 3 Default Value: 2 -d --delay It specifies the delay between requests. python photon.py -u http://example.com -d 1 Default Value: 0 -t --threads The number of threads to use. python photon.py -u http://example.com -t 10 Default Value: 2 Note: The optimal number of threads depends on your connection speed as well as nature of the target server. If you have a decent network connection and the server doesn't have any rate limiting in place, you can use up to 100 threads. -c --cookie Cookie to send. python photon.py -u http://example.com -c "PHPSSID=821b32d21" -n --ninja Toggles Ninja Mode on/off. python photon.py -u http://example.com --ninja Default Value: False -s --seeds Lets you add custom seeds, sperated by commas. python photon -u http://example.com -s "http://example.com/portals.html,http://example.com/blog/2018" Contribution & License Apart from reporting bugs and stuff, please help me add more "APIs" to make the Ninja Mode more powerful.Photon is licensed under GPL v3.0 license.  Sursa: https://github.com/s0md3v/Photon 1 2 Quote
