Automated Google dorking with custom search engines

Description

This utility has two submodules. The first submodule (GHDB) will scrape the Google Hacking Database for dorks in a given category then save them to a local file. The second submodule will take an input file of Google dorks and query them against the Google Custom Search Engine API for a given target domain. If a dorks returns any results, the dork will be saved to a local file. The third module will take a comma separated list of TLDS (e.g. 'com,net,io') and produce a TSV configuration file that can be imported into a CSE.

Prerequisities

1. A valid API key. Generate one from the Google Developer Console (Make sure to first enable the Custom Search API).

2. A Custom Search Engine

   Scope the search engine to no site and set the dropdown to search the entire web. See the image below for clarification

   

   Alternatively, scope the search engine to a TLD matching the target domain. See the image below for clarification

   

Setup

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage & Notes

GHDB submodule

Print GHDB categories

python tracerT.py ghdb --cat-list 

Retrive dorks for a category

python tracerT.py ghdb -c 9 -o dorks.csv 

Full help

usage: tracerT ghdb [-h] [-c CATEGORY] [--cat-list] [-o OUTDORK]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CATEGORY, --category CATEGORY
                        GHDB dork category. Use the --cat-list for category
                        list
  --cat-list            show categories list
  -o OUTDORK, --out-file OUTDORK
                        output file for dorks (CSV)

CSE submodule

Query CSE for dorks

python tracerT.py cse -x <cse id> -a <api key> -i dorks.csv -t example.com -o results.txt

Full help

usage: tracerT cse [-h] -x CSE -a API -i ILIST [-f FFORMAT] -t TARGET
                   [--skip-lc] -o OUTRES

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -x CSE, --cse CSE     CSE ID
  -a API, --api API     API key
  -i ILIST, --ilist ILIST
                        input list of dorks
  -f FFORMAT, --format FFORMAT
                        input list format (txt,csv)
  -t TARGET, --target TARGET
                        target domain
  --skip-lc             skip line count for input file
  -o OUTRES, --out-file OUTRES
                        output file for search results (CSV)

• --skip-lc: The CSE API has a limit of 100 queries per day for the free tier so the script is set to not run if the input file exceeds 100 lines. If you are willing to pay for extended use, you can use this switch to disable the line count check
• -f, --format: The script accepts both .txt and .csv input files. Text file input should be a newline delimited list of dorks. CSV file input should be in the format of 'GHDB ID,Dork'. This is also the output given by the GHDB submodule. Make sure to leave the column title in the file (the script will remove it). This argument is optional. However, the script will use the file extension to determine the format if you omit it.

TSV submodule

Generate TSV configuration file

python tracerT.py tsv -o annotations.tsv -i 'com,net,io' -x <cse id>

Full help

usage: tracerT tsv [-h] -x CSECONF -o OUTCONF -i ITLD

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -x CSECONF, --cse CSECONF
                        CSE ID
  -o OUTCONF, --out-file OUTCONF
                        output file for config
  -i ITLD, --itld ITLD  comma separated TLDs

To-dos & Feature Requests

• Multiple input list support

Known Issues

• Retrieving dorks from GHDB for category 1 will fail. This appears to be an issue with the site itself not properly displaying the dorks.

Changelog

• 05/09/2018 - Added TSV submodule
• 02/11/2018 - Initial release
