PwnBack – Burp Extender Plugin That Generates A Sitemap Of A Website Using Wayback Machine

PwnBack requires PhantomJS to run. To understand why it is required currently see the section PhantomsJS.

The plugin has several settings that a user can define depending on their hardware setup.

  • PhantomJS WebDrivers
    • The number of Firefox headless browsers to open. Be mindful of Burp Suite’s memory settings
  • HTTP Response Parsers
    • These are responsible for parsing requests generated by the WebDriver. You may gain very little by increasing this number.
  • Start Year
    • How far back in a Website’s history you’d like to traverse.
  • End Year
    • When to stop looking at a Website’s History
  • PhantomJS Location
    • The location of the PhantomJS binary
  • Output Folder
    • Where to save results when the Export Results button is pressed
  • Domain
    • The domain name to crawl. example.com, example.org, etc.
  • CA Bundle
    • The CA certificate you wish to use for PhantomJS. You shouldn’t need this, however, check Troubleshooting if no traffic is being generated.
