KaliIntelligenceSuite – Shall Aid In The Fast, Autonomous, Central, And Comprehensive Collection Of Intelligence By Executing Standard Penetration Testing Tools

 

Kali Intelligence Suite (KIS) shall aid in the fast, autonomous, central, and comprehensive collection of intelligence by automatically:

  • executing Kali Linux tools (e.g., dnsrecon, gobuster, hydra, nmap, etc.)
  • querying publicly available APIs (e.g., Censys.io, Haveibeenpwned.com, Hunter.io, Securitytrails.com, DNSdumpster.com, Shodan.io, etc.)
  • storing the collected data in a central rational database (see next section)
  • providing an interface to query and analyze the gathered intelligence

After the execution of each Kali Linux tool or querying APIs, KIS analyses the collected information and extracts as well as reports interesting information like newly identified user credentials, hosts/domains, TCP/UDP services, HTTP directories, etc. The extracted information is then internally stored in different PostgreSql database tables, which enables the continuous, structured enhancement and re-use of the collected intelligence by subsequently executed Kali Linux tools.

Additional features are:

  • pre-defined dependencies between Kali Linux tools ensure that relevant information like SNMP default community strings or default credentials is known to KIS before trying to access the respective services

  • remembering the execution status of each Kali Linux tool and API query ensures that already executed OS commands are not automatically executed again

  • data imports of scan results of external scanners like Masscan, Nessus, or Nmap

  • supporting the intelligence collection based on virtual hosts (vhost)

  • using a modular approach that allows the fast integration of new Kali Linux tools

  • parallel Kali Linux command execution by using a specifiable number of threads

  • enables users to kill Kali commands via the KIS user interface in case they take too long

  • access public APIs to enhance data with OSINT

Setup and Installation

Refer to INSTALL for more information.

KIS’ Data and Collection Model

The following figure illustrates KIS’ data and collection model. Thereby, each node represents a table in the rational database and each solid line between the nodes documents the corresponding relationship. The dashed directed graphs document based on which already collected intelligence (source node) KIS is able to collect further information (destination node). The labels of the directed graphs document the techniques used by KIS to perform the collection.

Scoping the Engagement

Scoping is an essential feature of KIS, which specifies on which IP networks, IP addresses, host names, etc.,
KIS is allowed to collect data (e.g., via OSINT or active scans) from. Before diving into scoping, it is important to understand the following collection types, which are supported by KIS:

  • Passive: Passive collections do not directly interact with the targets but obtain the information from third-party sources like whois. Per default, KIS automatically executes these collections and, thereby, no scoping is required.
  • Active: Active collections directly interact with the targets by for example actively scanning them. Thus, in contrast to passive collections, these type of collection requires permission from the target’s owner and, therefore, KIS does not automatically perform active collections unless the targets are explicitly marked as in scope.
  • Active*: Active* collections are actually passive collections. Nevertheless, as accessing some third-party sources is somehow limited (e.g., querying certain sources like Shodan.io cost credits), they are treated like active collectors, and, as a result, targets must be marked as in scope in order to perform active* collections on them.

Scopes can be set on the following items by using the script kismanage:

  • IP networks and IP addresses: For IP networks the following scope types can be set:

    • all: Sets the given IP network (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24) together with all IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1) that are within this network range in scope. As a result, KIS automatically executes any active and active* collectors on such IP networks and IP addresses.

      This scope type is useful during penetration tests where the scope is limited to certain IP networks and all their IP addresses.

      The following listing provides an example on how this scope type is set during the initial intel collection setup:

      # create a new workspace example
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage workspace -a example
      # add the network 192.168.1.0/24 to workspace example and set the scope to all (default)
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage network -w example -a 192.168.1.0/24
      # add new IP address 192.168.1.1 to workspace example. IP address is automatically in scope due to the network's scope all
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage host -w example -a 192.168.1.1
      # verify the initial setup
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kisreport host -w example --csv | csvcut -c "Network (NW)","Scope (NW)","IP Address (IP)","In Scope (IP)" | csvlook
      | Network (NW) | Scope (NW) | IP Address (IP) | "In Scope (IP)" |
      | -------------- | ------------- | --------------- | --------------- |
      | 192.168.1.0/24 | all | 192.168.1.1 | True |
    • strict: Sets the given IP networks’ (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24) scope to strict. In contrast to type all, the network itself is not in scope and IP addresses within this network range (e.g., 192.168.1.1) are not automatically in scope, unless they are explicitly added. As a result, KIS only automatically executes any active or active* collectors on IP addresses that are explicitly added to the scope.

      This scope type is useful during penetration tests where the scope is limited to certain IP addresses within a given network.

      The following listing provides an example on how this scope type is set during the initial intel collection setup:

      # create a new workspace example
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage workspace -a example
      # add the network 192.168.1.0/24 to workspace example and set the scope to strict
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage network -w example -a 192.168.1.0/24 -s strict
      # add new IP address 192.168.1.1 to workspace example and set it in scope (default)
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage host -w example -a 192.168.1.1
      # verify the initial setup
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kisreport host -w example --csv | csvcut -c "Network (NW)","Scope (NW)","IP Address (IP)","In Scope (IP)" | csvlook
      | Network (NW) | Scope (NW) | IP Address (IP) | "In Scope (IP)" |
      | -------------- | ------------- | --------------- | --------------- |
      | 192.168.1.0/24 | strict | 192.168.1.1 | True |
    • exclude: Sets the given IP network (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24) together with all IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1) that are within this network range out of scope. As a result, KIS does not execute any active and active* collectors on this IP network and its IP addresses.

      This scope type is the default type for all IP networks and IP addresses that are automatically identified by KIS (e.g., via whois, DNS resolution, etc.). Nevertheless, this scope type can be used to manually exclude networks from scope at a later time.

  • Second-level domain and host names: For second-level domains (e.g., megacorpone.com), the same scope types as for IP networks (see above) exist. Their mode of operation is described below:

    • all: Sets the given second-level domain (e.g., megacorpone.com) together with all sub-domains (e.g. www.megacorpone.com) in scope. As a result, KIS automatically executes any active and active* collectors on such host names.

      This type is useful during penetration tests where the scope is limited to certain second-level domains and all their sub-level domains.

      The following listing provides an example on how this scope type is set during the initial intel collection setup:

      # create a new workspace example
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage workspace -a example
      # add the second-level domain megacorpone.com to workspace example and set the scope to all (default)
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage domain -w example -a megacorpone.com
      # add new host names to workspace example. The host names are automatically in scope due to the second-level
      # domain's scope all
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage hostname -w example -a www.megacorpone.com ftp.megacorpone.com
      # verify the initial setup
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kisreport domain -w example --csv | csvcut -c "Second-Level Domain (SLD)","Scope (SLD)","Host Name (HN)","In Scope (HN)" | csvlook
      | Second-Level Domain (SLD) | Scope (SLD) | Host Name (HN) | In Scope (HN) |
      | ------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------- | ------------- |
      | megacorpone.com | all | megacorpone.com | True |
      | megacorpone.com | all | www.megacorpone.com | True |
      | megacorpone.com | all | ftp.megacorpone.com | True |
    • strict: Sets the given second-level domains (e.g., megacorpone.com) in scope. In contrast to type all, any sub-level domains (e.g., www.megacorpone.com) are not automatically in scope, unless they are explicitly added. As a result, KIS automatically executes any active or active* collectors on such in-scope second-level domains and additionally on those sub-level domains that are explicitly added to the scope.

      This type is useful during penetration tests where the scope is limited to certain sub-level domains.

      The following listing provides an example on how this scope type is set during the initial intel collection setup:

      # create a new workspace example
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage workspace -a example
      # add the second-level domain megacorpone.com to workspace example and set the scope to strict
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage domain -w example -a megacorpone.com -s strict
      # add new host names to workspace example. They are automatically in scope due to kismanage's default value.
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage hostname -w example -a www.megacorpone.com ftp.megacorpone.com
      # verify the initial setup
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kisreport domain -w example --csv | csvcut -c "Second-Level Domain (SLD)","Scope (SLD)","Host Name (HN)","In Scope (HN)" | csvlook
      | Second-Level Domain (SLD) | Scope (SLD) | Host Name (HN) | In Scope (HN) |
      | ------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------- | ------------- |
      | megacorpone.com | strict | megacorpone.com | False |
      | megacorpone.com | strict | www.megacorpone.com | True |
      | megacorpone.com | strict | ftp.megacorpone.com | True |
      # Note that KIS treats the second-level domain also as a host name. As it has not been explicitly put in scope, it
      # is still out of scope.
    • exclude: Sets the given second-level domains (e.g., megacorpone.com) together with all sub-level domains out of scope. As a result, KIS does not execute any active and active* collectors on these second-level domains.

      This scope type is the default type for all second-level domains and their sub-level domains that are automatically identified by KIS (e.g., via extraction from certificates, etc.). Thus, it is not necessary to explicitly set this scope type. Nevertheless, this scope type can be used to manually exclude second-level domains at a later time.

  • Virtual hosts (vhost): KIS supports scanning vhosts (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/) by using tools like Nikto or Burp Suite Professional (see argument --vhost of script kiscollect. Which vhosts are in scope and which are not is indirectly specified by scoping IP networks and IP addresses (see above) together with Second-level domain and host names (see above). Below are two examples to demonstrate how it works:

    • Example 1: Let’s assume the second-level domain google.com together with all sub-level domains that resolve to a network range within 172.217.0.0/16 are in scope. In this case, the top-level domain google.com is added to the KIS database with scope type all as documented below:

      # create a new workspace example
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage workspace -a example
      # add the second-level domain google.com to workspace example and set the scope to all (default)
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage domain -w example -a google.com

      In this case, KIS is able to, among other things, enumerate any sub-level domains as well as resolve their corresponding IP addresses. In addition, to ensure that KIS scans any host with an IP address within the IP network range 172.217.0.0/16, this network range must be added to KIS with scope type all as well:

      # add the network 172.217.0.0/16 to workspace example and set the scope to all (default)
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage network -w example -a 172.217.0.0/16
    • Example 2: Let’s assume the second-level domain google.com together with all sub-level domains that resolve to any network range are in scope. In this case, the top-level domain google.com is added to the KIS database with scope type all as documented below:

      # create a new workspace example
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage workspace -a example
      # add the second-level domain google.com to workspace example and set the scope to all (default)
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage domain -w example -a google.com

      In this case, KIS is able to, among other things, enumerate any sub-level domains as well as resolve their corresponding IP addresses. In addition, to ensure that KIS scans any host, the network range 0.0.0.0/0 must be added to KIS with scope type all as well:

      # add network 0.0.0.0/0 to workspace example and set the scope to all (default)
      $ sudo docker-compose run kaliintelsuite kismanage network -w example -a 0.0.0.0/0

List of KIS Collectors

The following table shows the list of existing collectors that are supported by KIS. These collectors are executed by the script kiscollect to create and execute actual OS commands.

The Priority column provides information about the order of execution; the lower the number, the earlier the respective OS commands are created and executed and subsequent collectors can profit from the already collected information. Collectors with a priority of - are not automatically executed as they either require user interaction or additional information (e.g., domain credentials) for execution.

The Name column contains the name of the collector. These names can be added as commandline arguments to kiscollect (e.g. --httpnikto). The name also indicates, which underlying OS command is executed.

Column Level specifies whether the collector is operating on:

  • services: Scans services by using IPv4/IPv6 addresses and UDP/TCP port numbers
  • vhosts: Scans web services by using host names (instead of IP addresses) and TCP port numbers
  • hosts: Obtains information based on IPv4/IPv6 addresses
  • domains: Obtains information based on second-level domains and optionally sub-level domains
  • networks: Obtains information based on IPv4/IPv6 network ranges
  • emails: Obtains information based on emails
  • companies: Obtains information based on companies

Column Type specifies whether the collector actively approaches the target (active) or obtains the information from third-party sources (passive and active*).

The IP Support column specifies the IP versions, which are supported by the underlying Kali tool (e.g., gobuster). Kali uses this information to decide which operating systems commands can be created and successfully executed. This column is only relevant for host, network, service, and vhost collectors (see column Level).

Column Timeout specifies the number of seconds after which the collector is automatically terminated.

The column User specifies the user with which the respective operating system commands are executed.
