uro

Using a URL list for security testing can be painful as there are a lot of URLs that have uninteresting/duplicate content; uro aims to solve that.

It doesn't make any http requests to the URLs and removes:

• incremental urls e.g. /page/1/ and /page/2/
• blog posts and similar human written content e.g. /posts/a-brief-history-of-time
• urls with same path but parameter value difference e.g. /page.php?id=1 and /page.php?id=2
• images, js, css and other "useless" files

Installation

The recommended way to install uro is through pip as follows:

pip3 install uro

Basic Usage

The quickest way to include uro in your workflow is to feed it data through stdin and print it to your terminal.

cat urls.txt | uro

Advanced usage

Reading urls from a file (-i/--input)

uro -i input.txt

Writing urls to a file (-o/--output)

If the file already exists, uro will not overwrite the contents. Otherwise, it will create a new file.

uro -i input.txt -o output.txt

Whitelist (-w/--whitelist)

uro will ignore all other extensions except the ones provided.

uro -w php asp html

Note: Extensionless pages e.g. /books/1 will still be included. To remove them too, use --filter hasext.

Blacklist (-b/--blacklist)

uro will ignore the given extensions.

uro -b jpg png js pdf

Note: uro has a list of "useless" extensions which it removes by default; that list will be overridden by whatever extensions you provide through blacklist option. Extensionless pages e.g. /books/1 will still be included. To remove them too, use --filter hasext.

Filters (-f/--filters)

For granular control, uro supports the following filters:

1. hasparams: only output urls that have query parameters e.g. http://example.com/page.php?id=
2. noparams: only output urls that have no query parameters e.g. http://example.com/page.php
3. hasext: only output urls that have extensions e.g. http://example.com/page.php
4. noext: only output urls that have no extensions e.g. http://example.com/page
5. keepcontent: keep human written content e.g. blogs.
6. keepslash: don't remove trailing slash from urls e.g. http://example.com/page/
7. vuln: only output urls with parameters that are know to be vulnerable. More info.

Example: uro --filters hasexts hasparams
