The topic of this week’s shell1liners is handling HTTP and SSL in Bash:

#netcat scanner for HTTP servers
for i in $(seq 1 255); do nc -n -v -z "192.168.1.$i" 80 | grep "open"; done | tee webservers.txt

# Manually perform a HTTP Get Request
echo -ne "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n" | nc www.redspin.com 80
# Manually perform a HTTP Get Request on a SSL Port
echo -ne "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n" | socat – OPENSSL:www.website.com:443,verify=0
# Create a local TCP pipe to a remote SSL port (to allow netcat to probe a SSL service)
socat -vd TCP-LISTEN:8888,fork OPENSSL:www.redspin.com:443,verify=0

# Always connect to a given webserver PORT regardless if it is SSL or normal HTTP
(curl -iks -m2 "https://www.redspin.com:PORT" || curl -iks -m2 "www.redspin.com:PORT")

# Perform a check on a list of webservers (HTTP or HTTPS): HOST:PORT -> HOST:PORT|WEB SERVER|HTML Title
# Includes a 2 seconds timeout using curl's -m2, and parallelization using xargs's -P10
cat webservers.txt | xargs -P10 -I'{}' bash -c '(curl -Liks -m2 "https://{}" || curl -Liks -m2 "{}") | grep -iao -e "^Server: .*" -e "" | sed "s#Server: \(.*\)#|\1|#i;s###ig" | tr -d "\r\n" | sed "1s/^/{}/;\$a\\" | sed "s/^\([^|]*\)|$/\1||/"' | tee webserver_info.txt

# Check if Trace is enabled on a given website
echo -ne "TRACE /something HTTP/1.0\nX-Header: Trace Enabled\n\n" | socat - OPENSSL:www.website.com:443,verify=0
# Check for the insecure SSLv2 protocol on a website
echo -e '' | openssl s_client -connect WEBSITE:PORT -ssl2 -no_ssl3 -no_tls1 2>/dev/null | grep 'SSLv2'

# Bruteforce a given numerical webpath, printing the HTTP status code for each request
for ((i=0;i/dev/null | grep HTTP/1.1) | tee webbf.txt ; done

# Simple HTTP Listener
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
# Simple HTTPS (SSL) Listener without a server certificate
sudo openssl s_server -accept 443 -nocert
# Simple HTTPS (SSL) Listener with a bad self-signed server certificate
