DorkScout is a tool to automate the finding of vulnerable applications or secret files around the internet throught google searches, dorkscout first starts by fetching the dorks lists from https://www.exploit-db.com/google-hacking-database and then it scans a given target or everything it founds

Installation

dorkscout can be installed in different ways:

Go Packages

throught Golang Packages (golang package manager)

go get github.com/R4yGM/dorkscout

this will work for every platform

Docker

if you don’t have docker installed you can follow their guide

first of all you have to pull the docker image (only 17.21 MB) from the docker registry, you can see it here, if you don’t want to pull the image you can also clone the repository and then build the image from the Dockerfile

docker pull r4yan/dorkscout:latest

if you don’t want to pull the image you can download or copy the dorkscout Dockerfile that can be found here and then build the image from the Dockerfile

then if you want to launch the container you have to first create a volume to share your files to the container

docker volume create –name dorkscout_data

using docker when you launch the container it will automatically install the dork lists inside a directory called “dorkscout” :

-rw-r–r– 1 r4yan r4yan 110 Jul 31 14:56 .dorkscout

so that you don’t have to install them then you can start scanning by doing :

docker run -v Dorkscout:/dorkscout r4yan/dorkscout scan

replace the <options> with the options/arguments you want to give to dorkscout, example :

docker run -v dorkscout_data:/dorkscout r4yan/dorkscout scan -d=”/dorkscout/Sensitive Online Shopping Info.dorkscout” -H=”/dorkscout/a.html”

If you wanted to scan throught a proxy using a docker container you have to add the –net host option example :

docker run –net host -v dorkscout_data:/dorkscout r4yan/dorkscout scan -d=”/dorkscout/Sensitive Online Shopping Info.dorkscout” -H=”/dorkscout/a.html -x socks5://127.0.0.1:9050″

Always save your results inside the volume and not in the container because then the results will be deleted! you can save them by writing the same volume path of the directory you are saving the results

if you added this and did everything correctly at the end of every scan you’d find the results inside the folder /var/lib/docker/volumes/dorkscout_data/_data

this will work for every platform

Executable

you can also download the already compiled binaries here and then execute them

Usage

dorkscout -h

Usage:
dorkscout [command]
Available Commands:
completion generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
delete deletes all the .dorkscout files inside a given directory
help Help about any command
install installs a list of dorks from exploit-db.com
scan scans a specific website or all the websites it founds for a list of dorks
Flags:
-h, –help help for dorkscout
Use “dorkscout [command] –help” for more information about a command.

to start scanning with a wordlist and a proxy that will then return the results in a HTML format

dorkscout scan -d=”/dorkscout/Sensitive Online Shopping Info.dorkscout” -H=”/dorkscout/a.html” -x socks5://127.0.0.1:9050

results :

Install Wordlists

to start scanning you’ll need some dork lists and to have these lists you can install them through the install command

dorkscout install –output-dir /dorks

and this will fetch all the available dorks from exploit.db
