Crimson v3

Crimson is a tool that automates ASSET DISCOVERY and VULNERABILITY SCANNING.

The container is built on top of the Kali distro.

It consists of fourth partially interdependent modules:

  • crimson_IPcon - tests the single IP or range of IP addresses. Automates the process of infrastructure reconnaissance & vulnerability scanning.
  • crimson_recon - tests the single domain. Automate the infrastructure reconnaissance process, subdomains enumeration, and vulnerability scanning if you .
  • crimson_target - tests single web application. Automates the process of a single-domain reconnaissance and vulnerability scanning.
  • crimson_exploit - automates the process of bug founding in gathered URLs.

Installation & running

  1. Pull docker container:
docker pull karmaz95/crimson:v3
  1. First run of downloaded container:
docker run --net="host" --name crimson -it karmaz95/crimson:v3
  1. After the first run, you can start the container by:
docker start crimson && docker attach crimson
  1. If you need to copy output from the container:
docker cp crimson:/root/bounty/domain.name LOCAL_DEST_PATH

Usage

Commands issued inside a docker container.

♦️ crimson_IPcon ♦️

♦️ Module zero needs IP ADDRESS or list_with_ip.txt ♦️

# The most optimal use:
c_0 -l ip.txt -t -u -p -k '' -v -b
crimson_IPcon -i IPADDRESS
        
        # Optional flags are shown below:
        -l ip.txt               # Only IPs, one per line.
        -o /root/bounty/        # The default directory is /root/bounty/$(date +%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M)
        -t                      # TCP SCAN ON (FULL RANGE) 
        -u                      # UDP SCAN ON (TOP 1000 PORTS)
        -p                      # PING SWEEP ON
        -k ''                   # 1. user enum
                                # 2. pass spraying
                                # 3. ASREPROAST (no pass)
        -v                      # VULNERABILITY SCANNING
        -b                      # BRUTE FORCE
  • Check the MEDIUM ARTICLE, which explains the crimson_IPcon module deeper.

♦️ crimson_recon ♦️

♦️ First module needs domain name ♦️

# The most optimal use (-x for domain bruteforcing):
c_1 -d "DOMAIN" -v -x
crimson_recon -d "domain.com" 
                   
                   # Optional flags are shown below: 
                -x # Domain brute-forcing
                -v # Virtual host discovering
                -b # Third-level subdomain brute-forcing
                -y # Proxy urls.txt and live.txt to Burp (127.0.0.1:8080)
                -j "burp.collaborator.domain" # Scan for log4j vulnerability on all URLs & live domains
  • Check the MEDIUM ARTICLE, which explains the crimson_recon module deeper.

♦️ crimson_target ♦️

♦️ Second module needs subdomain name ♦️

# The most optimal use:
c_2 -d "DOMAIN" -c "Cookie: auth1=123;" -a -v -h
# Then check urls.txt and use crimson_backuper manually on selected URLs to save time:
python "/root/tools/crimson/scripts/crimson_backuper.py" -w urls.txt -e "/root/tools/crimson/words/BCK_EXT" -c "$cookie" -o backups.txt
crimson_target -d "example.domain.com" 
                
                # Optional flags are shown below:
                -c "Cookie: auth1=123;"
                -j "burp.collaborator.domain" # SSRF check with quickpress
                -v # Virtual host discovering
                -a # Without this flag, you have to check for false-positives after brute-forcing manually
                -y # Proxy urls.txt and ffuf.txt to Burp (host.docker.internal:8080)
                -p # Parameter brute-forcing with Arjun (WARNING - it takes a lot of time, better use Burp Param Miner)
                -h # Test HOP-BY-HOP header deletion at the end
                -b # Check backup files on all live URLs (status code != 404) 
                   # Can take a few hours...
                -n # Use this option to skip the directory brute-forcing phase
                -k # Test HTTP inseated of HTTPS
  • Check the MEDIUM ARTICLE, which explains the crimson_target module deeper.

♦️ crimson_exploit ♦️

♦️ The third module needs two files in the current directory, dirs.txt and paramst.txt. These files are created by the crimson_target module in the exp directory ♦️

# The most optimal use - go to "exp" directory and run:
c_3 -d "BURP_DOMAIN" -i "VPS_IP"  
Usage: prepare two files in the current directory and use the crimson_exploit command:
    
    [*] dirs.txt - file with directories to check:
        https://target/directory1/
        https://target/directory2/
        https://target/
    
    [*] params.txt - file with parameters to check:
        https://target/example?a=1b=2
        https://target?param=asd

        # Optional flags are shown below:
        -c "Cookie: auth1=123;"
        -i 123.123.123.123 # IP for OAST testing - run the below commands on the VPS server
                              # > start: sudo tcpdump -i eth0 icmp
                              # > start: sudo python3 -m http.server 80
        -d domain.burp.com # DOMAIN for OAST testing
                              # > You can use Burp collaborator server
        -x "/root/wordlist"# Fuzzing all.txt with a given wordlist
                              # > Use '' for a default one /root/tools/crimson/words/bug
        -n                 # Turn on NUCLEI scan on all URLs
        -o                 # Test open redirection vulnerabilities on all URLs

♦️ Before starting third module, run the listener on your vps machine on port 80 python -m http.server 80 and for ping payloads tcpdump -i eth0 icmp ♦️
