parameth

This tool can be used to brute discover GET and POST parameters

Often when you are busting a directory for common files, you can identify scripts (for example test.php) that look like they need to be passed an unknown parameter. This hopefully can help find them.

The -off flag allows you to specify an offset (helps with dynamic pages) so for example, if you were getting alternating response sizes of 4444 and 4448, set the offset to 5 and it will only show the stuff outside the norm

Installation

virtualenv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -u -r requirements.txt

Adding new params from source:

The following regexes might be useful to parse $_GET or $_POST parameters from source:

$> grep -rioP '$_POST[\s*["']\s*\w+\s*["']\s*]' PHPSOURCE | grep -oP '$_POST[\s*["']\s*\w+\s*["']\s*]' | sed -e "s/$_POST[\s*["']//g" -e "s/\s*['"]\s*]//g" | sort -u > /tmp/outfile.txt

$> grep -rioP '$_GET[\s*["']\s*\w+\s*["']\s*]' PHPSOURCE | grep -oP '$_GET[\s*["']\s*\w+\s*["']\s*]' | sed -e "s/$_GET[\s*["']//g" -e "s/\s*['"]\s*]//g" | sort -u > /tmp/outfile.txt
