$ python3 paramspider.py –domain hackerone.com

$ python3 paramspider.py –domain hackerone.com
->Output ex : https://hackerone.com/test.php?q=FUZZ

2 – For excluding urls with specific extensions
$ python3 paramspider.py –domain hackerone.com –exclude php,jpg,svg

3 – For finding nested parameters
$ python3 paramspider.py –domain hackerone.com –level high
->Output ex : https://hackerone.com/test.php?p=test&q=FUZZ

4 – Saving the results
$ python3 paramspider.py –domain hackerone.com –exclude php,jpg –output hackerone.txt

ParamSpider+GF (for massive pwnage)

Lets say you have already installed the tool and now you want to filter out the juicy parameters from plethora of parameters. No worries you can easily do it using GF(by tomnomnom) .

Note : Make sure you have go properly installed on your machine .

Follow along this :

$ go get -u github.com/tomnomnom/gf
$ cp -r $GOPATH/src/github.com/tomnomnom/gf/examples ~/.gf

Note : Replace ‘/User/levi/go/bin/gf’ with the path where gf binary is located in your system.

$ alias gf=’/User/levi/go/bin/gf’
$ cd ~/.gf/

Note : Paste JSON files(https://github.com/devanshbatham/ParamSpider/tree/master/gf_profiles) in ~/.gf/ folder

Now run ParamSpider and navigate to the output directory

$ gf redirect domain.txt //for potential open redirect/SSRF parameters
$ gf xss domain.txt //for potential xss vulnerable parameters
$ gf potential domain.txt //for xss + ssrf + open redirect parameters
$ gf wordpress domain.txt //for wordpress urls

[More GF profiles to be added in future]

Example

$ python3 paramspider.py –domain bugcrowd.com –exclude woff,css,js,png,svg,php,jpg –output bugcrowd.txt

Note : As it fetches the parameters from web archive data ,so chances of false positives are high.
