Project Black : BugBounty Progress Control With Scanning Modules

Project Black is a scope control, scope scanner and progress tracker for easier working on a bug bounty or pentest project. The tools encourages more methodical work on pentest/bugbounty, tracking the progress and general scans information.

It can launch

masscan
nmap
dirsearch
amass
patator

against the scope you work on and store the data in a handy form. Perform useful filtering of the project’s data, for instance:

find me all hosts, which have open ports, but not 80
find me all hosts, whose ips start with 82.
find me hosts where dirsearch has found at least 1 file with 200 status code

Installation

Basic setup via docker-compose will run on any system which has docker and docker-compose dependency

If you don’t have docker installed then

Docker for Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt install docker.io

Tool Installation

If you have docker set up, then for Ubuntu/Debian simply

-sudo curl -L “https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.23.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)” -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
-sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
-git clone https://github.com/c0rvax/project-black
-cd project-black
-sudo docker-compose up

If you see some SQL errors, try stopping docker-compose (Ctrl + C once and wait for nice shutdown) and run docker-compose up

This might take some time but that’s it! Other distros should have very similar guidance.

Now head to http://localhost:5000, enter the credentials. They can be found in https://github.com/c0rvax/project-black/blob/master/config/config_docker.yml under application

For a more complex setup or something failed, see the wiki.

Resources Notice

None of the docker containers restrict the amount of resources usage, you are on your own here, however, you can change the amount of parallel tasks for each worker separately. See the wiki for that

How to work?

After a setup, create a project and head to the respective page.

Now we will follow the basic steps which you can do within the application

Add scope

Let’s say we are assessing hackerone.com and all it’s subdomains. Write hackerone.com into the add scope field and press Add to scope

Entrypoint has been added.

There are other ways to add scope, see wiki

Quick note on working

All of the tasks can read parameters from the user, however, lauching with some options won’t diplay any new result as it is pretty difficult to parse all possible outputs of a program. So to start, try working duplicating the options from this manual.

Available options can be found on this page

Start amass

Click the blue button Launch task.

A popup with parameters will appear.

It is recommended to click the All_top_level_domains check box and in argv enter -ip and click Fire! button.

This would launch amass -d hackerone.com -ip. Note that in this case we did not specify any domain. This is beacause the All_top_level_domains check box means looking into the scope which is stored in the database. So the program sees that hackerone.com was added to the scope and launches amass against it.

Upon finishing, the new data is automatically added to scope.

Start masscan and nmap

Now head to IPs tab. Click the already known button Launch task and choose masscan.

We will launch a quick scan, using the button Top N ports. This autocompletes the argv parameter. Press Fire!

Results are automatically downloaded from the database.

Now click Launch task and choose nmap only open. This will find all the open ports which exist in the database and run nmap only against them.

Click Banner and Fire.

Detected banner will automatically appear

Launching dirsearch

Launch dirsearch against all ips and all open ports (both HTTP and HTTPS would be tried)

On IPs tab click Launch task and select dirsearch. Fill in extenstions you want to try and click Fire!

You can launch dirseach agains hosts (not ips) on the Hosts tab.

Note on dirsearch

If there are no ports, dirsearch won’t even start. So first, make sure you launched nmap or masscan to discover open ports.

Inspecting results

There are generally three ways to check the results:

IPs/Hosts list
IP/Host details
Dirsearch list

IPs and Hosts list

Those are two tabs. They work the same way so we will stop on Hosts.

You can see a list of hosts, their ports and files. Also you can edit a comment for that host.

Important part here is filtering box.

You can aggregate different filters using the field shown above. Type the filter you want (there is a helper for that) and press Shift + Enter

IP/Host details

You can also view details on a specific host or ip. Press button with the glasses

There you will see dirsearch result for every open port on that host

Dirsearch list

Dirsearch list button will open a new window showing all found files for every dirsearch which was launched in this project.

Launching tasks against specific scope

IPs and Hosts Launch task are different! The button on IPs page will start against all ips within the current project, meanwhile the button on the Hosts page will launch against hosts.

To launch a task against some hosts, you should
