wpbf!

wpbf is a bruteforce tool to remotely test password strength, username enumeration and plugin detection on a WordPress site.

Description

The script will try to login into the WordPress dashboard through the login form using a mixture of enumerated usernames, a wordlist and relevant keywords from the blog's content. If a single username is given, the script will not search for additional usernames.

When a correct username/passwords matchs, it will be logged and show on the standard output.

For faster results you can spawn threads but BE CAREFULL not to flood/DoS the site. Default settings can be changed in "config.py" and "logging.conf" files.

The wordlist must have one entry per line, a small wordlist (wordlist.txt) and plugin list (plugins.txt) are provided for testing purposes.

Disclamer

This software is provided for educational purposes and testing only: use it in your own sites or with permission of the owner. I'm not responsible of what actions people decide to take using this software. I'm not not responsible if someone do something against the law using this sofware. Please be good and don't do anything harmful.

Features

  • Username enumeration and detection (TALSOFT-2011-0526, Author's archive page and content parsing)
  • Threads
  • Use keywords from blog's content in the wordlist
  • HTTP Proxy Support
  • Basic WordPress fingerprint (version and full path)
  • Advance plugins fingerprint (bruteforce, discovery and version/documentation)
  • Detection of Login LockDown plugin (this plugin makes the bruteforce useless)
  • Advanced logging using Python's logging library and logging configuration file

Requirements

  • Python 2.6+ (maybe it runs in older versions, if you want to test please notify me)

Known issues

  • False positives (in all passwords) with some uncommon WordPress versions or configurations

Usage

wpbf.py [-h] [-w WORDLIST] [-u USERNAME] [-s SCRIPTPATH] [-t THREADS] [-p PROXY] [-nk] [-eu] url

positional arguments:
url base URL where WordPress is installed (ex: http://www.myblog.com/)
optional arguments:
-w WORDLIST, --wordlist WORDLIST
 Worldlist file (default: wordlist.txt)
-u USERNAME, --username USERNAME
 Username (default: enumerate users)
-s SCRIPTPATH, --scriptpath SCRIPTPATH

-t THREADS, --threads THREADS
 How many threads the script will spawn (default: 5)
-p PROXY, --proxy PROXY
 HTTP proxy (ex: http://localhost:8008/)
-eu, --enumerateusers
 Only enumerate users
-eut, --enumeratetolerance ENUMERATETOLERANCE
 User ID gap tolerance to use in username enumeration
-nk, --nokeywords
 Skip search for keywords in content for the wordlist
-nf, --nofingerprint
 Skip WordPress fingerprint (version/full path)
-nps, --nopluginscan
 Skip plugins bruteforce, discovery and fingerprint
-ds, --dontstop
 Don't stop when password is found, continue with all pending tasks
--test Run python doctests (you can use a dummy URL here)

For extended help, run "./wpbf.py -h".

Examples

Basic

It will use the default settings (you can change the default settings in config.py file):

$ ./wpbf.py http://www.mysite.com/blog/

Custom

Using username 'john', not using keywords in the wordlist and trough a local proxy:

$ ./wpbf.py --nokeywords -u john -p http://localhost:8008/ http://www.mysite.com/blog/

Aggresive

It will use default settings and spawn 23 threads:

$ ./wpbf.py -t 23 http://www.mysite.com/blog/

Username enumeration

Only perform a user enumeration:

$ ./wpbf.py -eu http://www.mysite.com/blog/

Output sample

Or how the script will behave in a normal run:

$ ./wpbf.py http://localhost/wordpress/
2011-06-18 19:11:41,461 - wpbf - INFO - Target URL: http://localhost/wordpress/wp-login.php
