XSStrike
Category: Web Application Exploitation
Language: Python
Type: Context-Aware Fuzzer
📘 Definition & Purpose
XSStrike is a Python-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) detection and exploitation suite. It analyzes reflections, generates context-aware payloads, and bypasses WAF structures.
🧪 Core Mechanics
XSStrike does not blindly inject payloads. Instead, it probes the parameter, analyzes the reflection context (e.g. inside tag, attribute, or script block), generates tailored payloads, and tests them recursively using custom JavaScript encoders.
🚀 Usage & Cheat Sheet
# Scan a GET parameter for XSS
python3 xsstrike.py -u "https://target.com/search.php?q=test"
# Fuzz parameters using a custom payload list and analyze reflections
python3 xsstrike.py -u "https://target.com/page" --data "id=123" --fuzzer
# Use proxy to route requests (e.g. through Burp Suite)
python3 xsstrike.py -u "https://target.com/search.php?q=test" --proxy "127.0.0.1:8080"
