Checking For Update:
You can check for update either from the main menu or use python3 cmseek.py --update to check for update and apply auto update.
P.S: Please make sure you have git installed, CMSeeK uses git to apply auto update.
Detection Methods:
CMSeek detects CMS via the following:
- HTTP Headers
- Generator meta tag
- Page source code
- robots.txt
Supported CMSs:
CMSeeK currently can detect 170+ CMS. Check the list here: cmss.py file which is present in the cmseekdb directory.
All the cmss are stored in the following way:
cmsID = {
'name':'Name Of CMS',
'url':'Official URL of the CMS',
'vd':'Version Detection (0 for no, 1 for yes)',
'deeps':'Deep Scan (0 for no 1 for yes)'
}
Scan Result:
All of your scan results are stored in a json file named cms.json, you can find the logs inside the Result\<Target Site> directory, and as of the bruteforce results they're stored in a txt file under the site's result directory as well.
Here is an example of the json report log:
Bruteforce Modules:
CMSeek has a modular bruteforce system meaning you can add your custom made bruteforce modules to work with cmseek. A proper documentation for creating modules will be created shortly but in case you already figured out how to (pretty easy once you analyze the pre-made modules) all you need to do is this:
-
Add a comment exactly like this
# <Name Of The CMS> Bruteforce module. This will help CMSeeK to know the name of the CMS using regex -
Add another comment
### cmseekbruteforcemodule, this will help CMSeeK to know it is a module -
Copy and paste the module in the
brutecmsdirectory under CMSeeK's directory -
Open CMSeeK and Rebuild Cache using
Ras the input in the first menu. -
If everything is done right you'll see something like this (refer to screenshot below) and your module will be listed in bruteforce menu the next time you open CMSeeK.
Need More Reasons To Use CMSeeK?
If not anything you can always enjoy exiting CMSeeK (please don't), it will bid you goodbye in a random goodbye message in various languages.
Also you can try reading comments in the code those are pretty random and weird!!!
