While doing pentesting, pentesters needs to submit their bugs to website owner. While submitting bugs, collecting evidence of the website before penetration testing and after bug fixing is must that is where eyewitness is used. This will help pen tester and the people who do bug bounty to take a snapshot of the website while performing at test on the website or web application. According to ethical hacking researcher of international institute of cyber security getting screenshots of any website becomes more easy which tells user how website user interface looks like and code associated with it.
We will show you tool called Eyewitness which is designed using python libraries. Eyewitness helps pentesters/ security researchers to take screenshots of any URL. Below diagram gives an rough idea on when to use Eyewitness, it should be during Reconnaissance phase and after Submitting bug.
- For testing we will use Ubuntu 18.04. Some perquisites required are python3, pip3, xvfb.
- Open terminal type git clone https://github.com/FortyNorthSecurity/EyeWitness.git
- Type cd EyeWitness/setup/
- Type ./setup.sh
- After installing dependencies
- Type sudo apt-get update
- Type sudo apt-get install xvfb
- Type pip3 install xvfbwrapper
- Type cd ..
- Type ./EyeWitness.py –single http://duckduckgo.com –web
- –single is used for single URL.
- –web is used for http screeenshot using selenium.
