Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install device-pharmer on Kali Linux.
What is device-pharmer
device-pharmer is:
Concurrently open either Shodan search results, a specified IP, IP range, or
domain and print the status and title of the page if applicable. Add the -u and
-p options to attempt to login to the page first looking for a form login and
failing that, attempt HTTP Basic Auth.
Use -f SEARCHSTRING to look for a certain string in the html response in order
to test if authentication succeeded. Logs all devices that respond using either
the Shodan search term or the target IPs/domain + _results.txt. One caveat with
searching the response page’s HTML is that some form login pages return a JSON
object response after an authentication request rather than the post-login
page’s HTML source. Often you can determine whether or not you were successful
by just using -f “success”
Default timeout on the requests is 12 seconds. Sends batches of 1000 requests
concurrently which can be adjust using the -c option. One should note that
Shodan only allows the first page of results (100 hosts) if you are using their
free API key. If you have their professional API key you can specify the number
of search result pages to test with the -n NUMBER_OF_PAGES argument. By default
it will only check page 1.
