habu.jshell: JavaScript Shell that uses WebSockets

This is one of the most complex commands in Habu. When you start it, binds a port (default: 3333) and listen for HTTP connections. If receives a connection, sends a JavaScript code that opens a WebSocket that can be used to send commands to the connected browser.

You can write the commands directly in the shell, or use plugins, that are simply external JavaScript files.

Using habu.jshell you can completely control a web browser.

Note: The complete documentation of the module will be separated from the main documentation because this module has a lot of options and commands.

$ habu.jshell 
>>> Listening on 192.168.0.10:3333. Waiting for a victim connection.
>>> HTTP Request received from 192.168.0.15. Sending hookjs
>>> Connection from 192.168.0.15
$ _sessions
0 * 192.168.0.15:33432 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
$ _info
{
    "user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0",
    "location": "http://192.168.0.10:3333/",
    "java-enabled": false,
    "platform": "Linux x86_64",
    "app-code-name": "Mozilla",
    "app-name": "Netscape",
    "app-version": "5.0 (X11)",
    "cookie-enabled": true,
    "language": "es-AR",
    "online": true
}
$ document.location
http://192.168.0.10:3333/

habu.vhosts: Get vhosts of an IP address

This command uses Bing to query the websites hosted on the same IP address.

$ habu.vhosts www.telefonica.com
www.telefonica.com -> 212.170.36.79
[
    'www.telefonica.es',
    'universitas.telefonica.com',
    'www.telefonica.com',
]

habu.webid: Identify Web Technologies

This command uses Wappalyzer apps.json database to identify technologies used on a web application.

More info about Wappalyzer.

Note: This tool only sends one request. So, it’s stealth and not suspicious.

$ habu.webid https://woocomerce.com
