A burp suite extension that reviews backup, old, temporary and unreferenced files on the web server for sensitive information (OWASP OTG-CONFIG-004)

As I checked some tools in this field, I realized that almost all of the tools use only static payloads (they use built-in dictionaries) and they don't generate dynamic payloads based on target which is being tested.

For example, suppose this is hierarchy tree of our web application:

/
├───upload    #Dir
├───├───index.php
├───├───index.php~
├───├───index.php.bkup
├───├───upload.zip
├───└───users    #Dir
├───────├───index.php
├───────├───catalog.zip
├───WeirdDirName    #Dir
├───├───index.php
├───├───captcha.php
├───├───captcha.php.old
├───WeirdDirName.tar.gz

and this is the result of a crawler:
/
├───upload    #Dir
├───├─── /
├───└───users    #Dir
├───────├─── /
├───WeirdDirName    #Dir
├───├─── /
├───├───captcha.php

This extension will find all backup, old and temp files in this scenario:

• /upload/index.php~
• /upload/index.php.bkup
• /upload/upload.zip
• /upload/catalog.zip
• /upload/
• /WeirdDirName.tar.gz
• /WeirdDirName/captcha.php.old

Here is a screenshot of extension's results.

1. Select a request of a target host from any tab of burp suite
2. In "backupFinder -> Finder -> options" tab, apply your configurations.
3. Go to "backupFinder -> Finder -> Finder" tab and click on "start" button.

These options can be used to customize the detection:

• Level: Level of tests to perform (1-5, default 3)
• Thread: num of threads (1-50, default 10)
• Built-in dictionary: there is a built-in dictionary containing most used directory and file names to be used for static payload generation.
• Loadable dictionary: you can use your own dictionary file for static payload generation.
• HTTP method: HTTP method to be used in requests (HEAD, GET)(default: Head)
• Includable extensions
• Excludable extensions
• Includable status codes
• Excludable status codes
