l9explore

l9explore is a plugin based tool doing deep exploration on a wide range of protocols. It can be used to expose leaks, misconfigurations and vulnerabilities on any IP network.

It is the last layer in the l9 tool suite.

Features

• Deep protocol exploration
• Plugin based system
• Low memory/CPU footprint
• Multistage (WIP)

Usage

Explore services

l9explore service -h

Displays help for the list command.

Installation Instructions

From Binary

The installation is easy. You can download the pre-built binaries for your platform from the Releases page.

This version has our stock plugins embedded.

▶ chmod +x l9explore-linux-64
▶ mv l9explore-linux-64 /usr/local/bin/l9explore

From Source

▶ GO111MODULE=on go get -u -v github.com/LeakIX/l9explore/cmd/l9explore
▶ ${GOPATH}/bin/l9explore -h

Running l9explore

l9explore speaks l9format. It reads from stdin and outputs results on stdout.

An usual pipeline would be to use it with l9tcpid to identify the protocols to explore.

$ ulimit -n 4096 
$ sudo ip4scout random -r 25000 -p 27017,9200|l9tcpid service --deep-http --max-threads=2048|tee services.json|l9explore service --explore-timeout 5s -t 2048 -l|tee leaks.json|l9filter transform -i l9 -o human

will :

• Run ip4scout to get a list of 9200,27017 open ports
• Run l9tcpid to identify "real" elasticsearch and mongodb servers
  • And save that output to services.json
• Run l9explore and use each plugin against its protocol to output leak events.
  • And save that output to leaks.json
• Use l9filter to translate l9format in a comprehensible output
