Installation

Make sure you have GoLang installed, with out it you won't be able to install nuclei.


git clone https://github.com/gotr00t0day/Gsec.git

cd Gsec

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

# Make sure that nuclei-templates is cloned in the / directory. Gsec fetches the templates from ~/nuclei-templates
python3 install.py

Keys


Gsec will fetch the shodan API key from the core directory, the passive recon script supports scanning with shodan,
please save your shodan key in core/.shodan for the scan to be able to work.

OUTPUT


Some outputs that are too large will be saved in a file in the output folder / directory.

Usage

# normal (passive and aggresive scans)

python3 gsec.py -t https://domain.com

# Passive Recon

python3 gsec.py -t https://domain.com --passive_recon

# Ultimate Scan (Scan for High and Severe CVEs and Vulnerabilities with nuclei)

python3 gsec.py --ultimatescan https://target.com

Anonimity

ProxyChains

You can use Proxychains with tor for anonimity.


proxychains -q python3 gsec.py -t https://target.com

Keywords

If Gsec finds a vulnerability and it has the POSSIBLE! keyword in the output that means it could be a false positive and you need to manually test the vulnerability to make sure it's actually vulnerable.

Coming Soon...

I'm working on adding proxy support for Gsec, it will be added in future releases.

Issues

In python3.10+ you might get an SSL error while running Gsec. To fix this issue just pip3 install ceritifi and then do /Applications/Python\ 3.10/Install\ Certificates.command and the issue will be fixed.
