At the final stage, you get the report of detected vulnerabilities and the impact of exposure. BlackDir-Framework is a suite that helps the penetration testers with Vulnerability Scanning. BalckDir-Framework is an automated tool designed in the Python language. This Framework supports various vulnerability scanning such as XSS, SQL, HTML Injection, etc. Along with Vulnerability detection, this Framework allows gathering information about the target domain.

Working with BlackDir-Framework on Kali Linux OS

Example 1: Spidering the Target

python3 BlackDir.py --spider http://geeksforgeeks.org

1. In this example, We will be spidering our Target domain geeksforgeeks.org for some sensitive directories or files hosted on the webserver.

Example 2: Enumerating Subdomains

python3 BlackDir.py --subdomain geeksforgeeks.org

1. In this example, We will be Enumerating Subdomains associated with the main domain geeksforgeeks.org. 

Example 3: Checking XSS Vulnerability

python3 BlackDir.py --xss "http://vulnweb.com/search.php?test=query"

1. In this example, We will be testing the target domain for the XSS vulnerability flaw. Our target is http://vulnweb.com/search.php?test=query.

2. In the below Screenshot, You can see that our target domain has the parameter named ‘query’. The tool will insert some malicious JavaScript code to test the availability of XSS.

python3 BlackDir.py –xss “https://practice.geeksforgeeks.org/topic-tags/?ref=shm”

1. In this Example, Our target is https://practice.geeksforgeeks.org/topic-tags/?ref=shm, this URL has a parameter named ‘ref’ which will be tested by inserting malicious JavaScript code into it.

BlackDir-Framework suite is a complete all-in-one bundle that provides the Vulnerability Scanning and the Information Collection of the Target domain. We can even use Google Dorking for Advanced searches. This suite also supports reverse IP Lookup, Port Scan, Subdomain Enumeration. So we can use this Suite for Vulnerability Scanning and along with the Information Gathering phase.
