FOFA Dorking for Bug Hunters

By /

Featured Image
FOFA is a powerful search engine for cybersecurity professionals, enabling them to discover exposed assets, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities. Below are key FOFA dorks for bug hunters:

1. HTTPS ports apart from 443

  • Example: `port=”8443″ && protocol==”https”`

2. HTTP ports apart from 80

  • Example: `port=”8080″ && protocol==”http”`

3. Cloud Buckets

  • Example: `body=”AWS S3 Bucket”`

4. Metrics Endpoints or Similar

  • Example: `title=”Prometheus Metrics”`

5. Registration Pages

  • Example: `body=”register” && title=”signup”`

6. API Endpoints

  • Example: `path=”/api/v1″`

7. Admin Endpoints

  • Example: `title=”admin” || path=”/admin”`

8. Information Disclosure

  • Example: `body=”index of /”`

9. API Keys in JS Files

  • Example: `extension=”js” && body=”api_key”`

10. Vulnerable Endpoints

  • Example: `body=”wp-json/wp/v2/users”`

Practical FOFA Dorking Commands & Techniques

1. Finding Exposed Databases

 Elasticsearch 
fofa 'port="9200" && protocol=="http"'

MongoDB 
fofa 'port="27017" && protocol=="mongodb"'

2. Discovering Misconfigured Web Servers

 Nginx Directory Listing 
fofa 'server=="nginx" && body="index of /"'

Apache Server Status 
fofa 'server=="apache" && title="server-status"'

3. Hunting for API Keys

 AWS Keys in JS Files 
fofa 'extension=="js" && (body=="AKIA" || body=="aws_access_key")'

Google API Keys 
fofa 'body=="AIza" && extension=="js"'

4. Detecting Exposed Admin Panels

 WordPress Admin 
fofa 'title=="wp-admin" && body=="wordpress"'

Jenkins 
fofa 'title=="Jenkins" && port=="8080"'

5. Identifying Cloud Buckets

 AWS S3 Buckets 
fofa 'body="NoSuchBucket" || body="AccessDenied"'

Google Cloud Storage 
fofa 'body="storage.googleapis.com"'

What Undercode Say:

FOFA dorking is an essential skill for bug hunters, enabling rapid discovery of exposed assets. Mastering these queries helps in identifying misconfigurations before attackers do. Always verify findings responsibly and report vulnerabilities ethically.

Expected Output:

  • A list of exposed endpoints, APIs, and misconfigured services.
  • Actionable intelligence for penetration testers and security researchers.

Prediction:

As cloud adoption grows, FOFA dorking will become even more critical in uncovering exposed assets. Automation tools integrating FOFA queries will emerge, making reconnaissance faster and more efficient.
