Usage

Most of Fluid Asserts functions for the end-user are predicates regarding a specific vulnerability. In that sense, you “ask” Asserts whether a certain Target of Evaluation has an open vulnerability of some type or if it has been closed.

Asserts replies by telling you that the status of the vulnerability is OPEN or CLOSED plus additional info, such as why it thinks the flaw is or is not still there, where it is found, when it was tested, and the fingerprint (the gory details of the transaction).

SQL Injection

To verify that a SQL injection is still open, you can write a script like this:

from fluidasserts.proto import http

http.has_sqli('http://testphp.vulnweb.com/AJAX/infoartist.php?id=3%27')

Then run it:

$ asserts open_sqli.py

# Fluid Asserts (v. 19.4.24110)

To verify that a SQL injection is closed, use the same function:

from fluidasserts.proto import http

http.has_sqli('http://testphp.vulnweb.com/AJAX/infoartist.php?id=3')

$ asserts closed_sqli.py

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

The function has_xss() requires a few more parameters:

from fluidasserts.proto import http

URL = 'http://testphp.vulnweb.com/guestbook.php'
BAD_TEXT = r'<script>alert\("Hacked by FLUIDAttacks"\);<\/script>'
DATA = {
    'name': 'anonymous user',
    'submit': 'add message',
    'text': '<script>alert("Hacked by FLUIDAttacks");</script>'
}

http.has_xss(URL, BAD_TEXT, data=DATA)

$ asserts open_xss.py

To test if an XSS vulnerability has been closed:

from fluidasserts.proto import http

URL = 'http://testphp.vulnweb.com/guestbook.php'
BAD_TEXT = r'<script>alert\("Hacked by FLUIDAttacks"\);<\/script>'
DATA = {
    'name': 'anonymous user',
