Fuzzing templates are used with nuclei scanner which powers the actual scanning engine. This repository contains various fuzzing templates for the scanner provided by our team, as well as contributed by the community.

We welcome contributions from the community through pull requests or issues to increase the coverage of security testing. Unlike the nuclei-templates project, which focuses on known vulnerabilities, fuzzing templates are specifically designed to discover previously unknown vulnerabilities in applications.

Please navigate to https://docs.nuclei.sh/template-guide/http/http-fuzzing for detailed documentation to build your own fuzzing template. We have also added a set of templates to help you understand how things work.

1. Install Nuclei

go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/v2/cmd/nuclei@latest

2. Clone Fuzzing Templates

git clone https://github.com/projectdiscovery/fuzzing-templates.git

3. Run Fuzzing Templates

Current fuzzing support is limited to URLs with with query parameters, so any urls with no query parameters will be simply ignored.

$ cat fuzz_endpoints.txt

http://127.0.0.1:8082/info?name=test&another=value&random=data
http://127.0.0.1:8082/redirect?redirect_url=/info?name=redirected_from_url
http://127.0.0.1:8082/request?url=https://example.com
http://127.0.0.1:8082/email?text=important_user
http://127.0.0.1:8082/permissions?cmd=whoami
http://127.0.0.1:8082/info?name=redirected_from_url

Note:

You can use katana with query url filter (-f qurl) to get list of endpoints to run with url fuzzing templates

nuclei -t fuzzing-templates -list fuzz_endpoints.txt

Note:

You can use existing nuclei options to filter / run specific directory / sub directory / templates or tags
