Re: [W3af-develop] Wordpress version discovery plugin
Hello,
Im new to mailing lists so im not sure if this will be sent there.
I'll have a look into intergrating the script into w3af over the next
couple of days and hopefully have a working version by the weekend.
The script is quite simple once you have the gathered the nesesary
data. I went through versions 2.2 to 2.7.1 and manually found client
side differences in most of them, I also used the official changelogs
to help identify them.
The client side differences are in files such as CSS, javascript and
HTML. Some versions did not have any differences apart from having
extra files, which can easliy be identified with HTTP response codes.
It works as such...
Starting from version 2.7.1 (latest), the script tries to find
something that 2.7 doesnt have, if it finds that something then the
script stops and echos the version number.
If the script doesnt find the difference it moves onto identifying the
next version, i.e. does 2.7 have something the earlier version doesnt
have. and so on and so forth.

It depends on the mailing list. This one is configured to accept attachments,

Excellent, if you need ANY help, just let us know.
The script is quite simple once you have the gathered the nesesary
data. I went through versions 2.2 to 2.7.1 and manually found client
side differences in most of them, I also used the official changelogs
to help identify them.
Ohhh, you are the guy that wrote that blog post with the diffs of
different wordpress release packages?
The client side differences are in files such as CSS, javascript and
HTML. Some versions did not have any differences apart from having
extra files, which can easliy be identified with HTTP response codes.
It works as such...
Starting from version 2.7.1 (latest), the script tries to find
something that 2.7 doesnt have, if it finds that something then the
script stops and echos the version number.
If the script doesnt find the difference it moves onto identifying the
next version, i.e. does 2.7 have something the earlier version doesnt
have. and so on and so forth.
Ok, makes sense.
Some comments regarding your code:
- w3af uses PEP-8, with among other things says 4-spaces for
indentations. Your code has 1-space (?) indentations. Please correct
that.
- The code is pretty simple, but i think it could be done in a better
way. Having that many functions (wp22 to wp271) doesn't seem to be a
good option. Do you think that the code could be changed a little bit,
and create a database (which can be easily updated) and then use that
database to store the information? Example of the databse
self._wp_fingerprint =
[('/wp-includes/js/thickbox/thickbox.css','-ms-filter:'),('/wp-admin/css/farbtastic.css',
'farbtastic')]
- Also, by default wordpress publishes the version number in every
page head. Maybe it would be a good idea to parse that, and compare it
with the result of the fingerprinting. What do you think?
Cheers,
Ryan
