msarjun

Mass-scale hidden parameter discovery using Arjun. A high-performance wrapper that parallelizes Arjun for efficient parameter discovery across multiple targets.

Overview

msarjun supercharges Arjun by enabling concurrent scanning of multiple URLs, dramatically reducing execution time while maintaining the powerful detection capabilities of the original tool.

Features

• 🚀 Mass Parallelization: Scan hundreds of URLs concurrently with configurable concurrency
• 🔧 Automatic Setup: Self-downloads default wordlist on first run
• 🛠️ Tool Integration: Clean output formats for seamless pipeline integration
• 📊 Multiple Output Formats: Standard, JSON, and filtered URL outputs
• ⚡ Performance Optimized: Significant speed improvements over sequential processing

cd msarjun; go install

Usage

Usage of msarjun:
  -a, --append-output string   File to append the output instead of overwriting.
  -c, --concurrency int        Number of concurrent URL scans (default 10)
  -j, --json                   Output results in JSON format
  -m, --methods string         HTTP methods to test (comma-separated) (default "GET")
  -o, --output string          File to save the output.
      --silent                 Silent mode.
  -t, --tfilter                Print only transformed URLs for tool integration.
      --verbose                Enable verbose output for debugging purposes.
      --version                Print the version of the tool and exit.
  -w, --wordlist string        Custom wordlist (default "~/.config/msarjun/params.txt")

Usage Examples

Basic Scanning

# Single URL with default settings
echo "http://testphp.vulnweb.com/AJAX/infocateg.php" | msarjun

# Single URL with multiple methods
echo "http://testphp.vulnweb.com/AJAX/infocateg.php" | msarjun -m GET,POST,XML,JSON

# Custom wordlist
echo "http://testphp.vulnweb.com/AJAX/infocateg.php" | msarjun -w /path/to/wordlist.txt

Performance Comparison

→ 85% faster execution with concurrency

Best Practices

1. Domain Distribution: Use -concurrency primarily for scanning different domains/subdomains
2. Rate Limiting: Randomize URLs with shuf when scanning same-domain endpoints
3. Progressive Scanning: Start with lower concurrency (-c 10) and increase based on target responsiveness
4. Output Management: Use -tfilter for tool pipelines and -j for automated processing

Troubleshooting

• Arjun not found: Ensure Arjun is installed and accessible in your PATH
• Wordlist issues: Delete ~/.config/msarjun/params.txt to trigger redownload
• Performance problems: Reduce concurrency with -c for rate-limited targets
• Verbose debugging: Use --verbose flag to identify specific issues
