Remotely test password strength of WordPress bloging software

wpbf!

wpbf is a bruteforce tool to remotely test password strength, username enumeration and plugin detection on a WordPress site.

Description

The script will try to login into the WordPress dashboard through the login form using a mixture of enumerated usernames, a wordlist and relevant keywords from the blog's content. If a single username is given, the script will not search for additional usernames.

When a correct username/passwords matchs, it will be logged and show on the standard output.

For faster results you can spawn threads but BE CAREFULL not to flood/DoS the site. Default settings can be changed in "config.py" and "logging.conf" files.

The wordlist must have one entry per line, a small wordlist (wordlist.txt) and plugin list (plugins.txt) are provided for testing purposes.

Features

• Username enumeration and detection (TALSOFT-2011-0526, Author's archive page and content parsing)
• Threads
• Use keywords from blog's content in the wordlist
• HTTP Proxy Support
• Basic WordPress fingerprint (version and full path)
• Advance plugins fingerprint (bruteforce, discovery and version/documentation)
• Detection of Login LockDown plugin (this plugin makes the bruteforce useless)
• Advanced logging using Python's logging library and logging configuration file

Requirements

• Python 2.6+ (maybe it runs in older versions, if you want to test please notify me)

Known issues

• False positives (in all passwords) with some uncommon WordPress versions or configurations

Usage

wpbf.py [-h] [-w WORDLIST] [-u USERNAME] [-s SCRIPTPATH] [-t THREADS] [-p PROXY] [-nk] [-eu] url

	HTTP proxy (ex: http://localhost:8008/)
-eu, --enumerateusers
	Only enumerate users
-eut, --enumeratetolerance ENUMERATETOLERANCE
	User ID gap tolerance to use in username enumeration
-nk, --nokeywords
	Skip search for keywords in content for the wordlist
-nf, --nofingerprint
	Skip WordPress fingerprint (version/full path)
-nps, --nopluginscan
	Skip plugins bruteforce, discovery and fingerprint
-ds, --dontstop
	Don't stop when password is found, continue with all pending tasks
--test	Run python doctests (you can use a dummy URL here)

For extended help, run "./wpbf.py -h".

Examples

Basic

It will use the default settings (you can change the default settings in config.py file):

$ ./wpbf.py http://www.mysite.com/blog/

Custom

Using username 'john', not using keywords in the wordlist and trough a local proxy:

$ ./wpbf.py --nokeywords -u john -p http://localhost:8008/ http://www.mysite.com/blog/

Aggresive

It will use default settings and spawn 23 threads:

$ ./wpbf.py -t 23 http://www.mysite.com/blog/

Username enumeration

Only perform a user enumeration:

$ ./wpbf.py -eu http://www.mysite.com/blog/

Output sample

Or how the script will behave in a normal run:

$ ./wpbf.py http://localhost/wordpress/
