VulnKnox

VulnKnox is a powerful command-line tool written in Go that interfaces with the KNOXSS API. It automates the process of testing URLs for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities using the advanced capabilities of the KNOXSS engine.

Features

• Supports GET, POST, and BOTH HTTP methods
• Advanced Filter Bypass (AFB) feature
• Flash Mode for quick XSS polyglot testing
• CheckPoC feature to verify the proof of concept
• Concurrent processing with configurable parallelism
• Custom headers support for authenticated requests
• Proxy support
• Discord webhook integration for notifications
• Detailed output with color-coded results
• Configurable retries and timeouts

Installation

go install github.com/iqzer0/vulnknox@latest

Configuration

Before using the tool, you need to set up your configuration:

API Key

Obtain your KNOXSS API key from [knoxss.me]((https://knoxss.me).

On the first run, a default configuration file will be created at:

Linux/macOS: ~/.config/vulnknox/config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\VulnKnox\config.json
Edit the config.json file and replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with your actual API key.

Discord Webhook (Optional)

If you want to receive notifications on Discord, add your webhook URL to the config.json file or use the -dw flag.

Usage

Usage of vulnknox:

  -u          Input URL to send to KNOXSS API
  -i          Input file containing URLs to send to KNOXSS API
  -X GET      HTTP method to use: GET, POST, or BOTH
  -pd         POST data in format 'param1=value&param2=value'
  -headers    Custom headers in format 'Header1:value1,Header2:value2'
  -afb        Use Advanced Filter Bypass
  -checkpoc   Enable CheckPoC feature
  -flash      Enable Flash Mode
  -o          The file to save the results to
  -ow         Overwrite output file if it exists
  -oa         Output all results to file, not just successful ones
  -s          Only show successful XSS payloads in output
  -p 3        Number of parallel processes (1-5)
  -t 600      Timeout for API requests in seconds
  -dw         Discord Webhook URL (overrides config file)
  -r 3        Number of retries for failed requests
  -ri 30      Interval between retries in seconds
  -sb 0       Skip domains after this many 403 responses
  -proxy      Proxy URL (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:8080)
  -v          Verbose output
  -version    Show version number
  -no-banner  Suppress the banner
  -api-key    KNOXSS API Key (overrides config file)

Basic Examples

Test a single URL using GET method:

vulnknox -u "https://example.com/page?param=value"

Test a URL with POST data:

vulnknox -u "https://example.com/submit" -X POST -pd "param1=value1&param2=value2"

Enable Advanced Filter Bypass and Flash Mode:

vulnknox -u "https://example.com/page?param=value" -afb -flash

Use custom headers (e.g., for authentication):

vulnknox -u "https://example.com/secure" -headers "Cookie:sessionid=abc123"

Process URLs from a file with 5 concurrent processes:

vulnknox -i urls.txt -p 5

Send notifications to Discord on successful XSS findings:

vulnknox -u "https://example.com/page?param=value" -dw "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/your/webhook/url"

Advanced Usage

Test both GET and POST methods with CheckPoC enabled:

vulnknox -u "https://example.com/page" -X BOTH -checkpoc

Use a proxy and increase the number of retries:

vulnknox -u "https://example.com/page?param=value" -proxy "http://127.0.0.1:8080" -r 5

Suppress the banner and only show successful XSS payloads:

vulnknox -u "https://example.com/page?param=value" -no-banner -s

Output Explanation

[ XSS! ]: Indicates a successful XSS payload was found.
[ SAFE ]: No XSS vulnerability was found in the target.
[ ERR! ]: An error occurred during the request.

The tool also provides a summary at the end of execution, including the number of requests made, successful XSS findings, safe responses, errors, and any skipped domains.
