EyeWitness – A Rapid Web Application Triage Tool

Table of Contents

We, at ehacking
used to share tools that can make the penetration testing process easy
and effective. You might have seen EH Tools shared before and you will witness
the tools that we will share later, but today I have an interesting tool to
discuss; it’s called EyeWitness. Chris Truncer is the man behind this tool; it
has been designed to run on Kali Linux.







EyeWitness is
designed to take screenshots of websites, provide some server header info, and
identify default credentials if possible.

 EyeWitness is designed to take a file, parse
out the URLs, take a screenshot of the web pages, and generate a report of the
screenshot along with some server header information.  EyeWitness is able
to parse three different types of files, a general text file with each url on a
new line, the xml output from a NMap scan, or a .nessus file.  Jason Hill (@jasonhillva)
worked on creating the XML parsing code for EyeWitness, and provided a lot of
feedback throughout writing it. 

In addition to
providing the file name, you can also optionally provide a maximum timeout
value.  The timeout value is the maximum amount of time EyeWitness waits
for a web page to render, before moving on to the next URL in the list.
