## Interactsh CLI Client

Interactsh Cli client requires **go1.20+** to install successfully. Run the following command to get the repo -

```sh
go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/interactsh/cmd/interactsh-client@latest
```

### Configure PDCP_API_KEY With Interactsh CLI Client
> Get your free api key by signing up at https://cloud.projectdiscovery.io

You can configure your PDCP_API_KEY in two ways:
1. To configure the API key interactively, run the following command:
```sh
./interactsh-client -auth
```
2. If you prefer to pass the API key directly, use the -auth option followed by your API key:
```sh
./interactsh-client -auth=
````

### Default Run

This will generate a unique payload that can be used for OOB testing with minimal interaction information in the output.

```console
interactsh-client

_ __ __ __
(_)___ / /____ _________ ______/ /______/ /_
/ / __ \/ __/ _ \/ ___/ __ '/ ___/ __/ ___/ __ \
/ / / / / /_/ __/ / / /_/ / /__/ /_(__ ) / / /

### Session File

`interactsh-client` with `-sf, -session-file` flag can be used store/read the current session information from user defined file which is useful to resume the same session to poll the interactions even after the client gets stopped or closed.

```console
interactsh-client -sf interact.session

### Using Self-Hosted server

Using the `server` flag, `interactsh-client` can be configured to connect with a self-hosted Interactsh server, this flag accepts single or multiple server separated by comma.

```sh
interactsh-client -server hackwithautomation.com
```

We maintain a list of default Interactsh servers to use with `interactsh-client`:

- oast.pro
- oast.live
- oast.site
- oast.online
- oast.fun
- oast.me

Default servers are subject to change/rotate/down at any time, thus we recommend using a self-hosted interactsh server if you are experiencing issues with the default server.

### Using Protected Self-Hosted server

Using the `token` flag, `interactsh-client` can connect to a self-hosted Interactsh server that is protected with authentication.

```sh
interactsh-client -server hackwithautomation.com -token XXX
```

### Using with Notify

If you are away from your terminal, you may use [notify](https://github.com/projectdiscovery/notify) to send a real-time interaction notification to any supported platform.

```sh
interactsh-client | notify
```

## Interactsh Web Client

[Interactsh-web](https://github.com/projectdiscovery/interactsh-web) is a free and open-source web client that displays Interactsh interactions in a well-managed dashboard in your browser. It uses the browser's local storage to store and display all incoming interactions. By default, the web client is configured to use **interact.sh** as default interactsh server, and supports other self-hosted public/authencaited interactsh servers as well.

A hosted instance of **interactsh-web** client is available at https://app.interactsh.com

## OWASP ZAP Add-On

Interactsh can be used with OWASP ZAP via the [OAST add-on for ZAP](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/desktop/addons/oast-support/). With ZAP's scripting capabilities, you can create powerful out-of-band scan rules that leverage Interactsh's features. A standalone script template has been provided as an example (it is added automatically when you install the add-on).

- Install the OAST add-on from the [ZAP Marketplace](https://www.zaproxy.org/addons/).
- Go to Tools → Options → OAST and select **Interactsh**.
- Configure [the options](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/desktop/addons/oast-support/services/interactsh/options/) for the client and click on "New Payload" to generate a new payload.
- OOB interactions will appear in the [OAST Tab](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/desktop/addons/oast-support/tab/) and you can click on any of them to view the full request and response.
- You can set Interactsh as the default for ActiveScan in the `Options` > `OAST` > `General` menu.
- When checking the `Use Permanent Database` option, you can review interactions that occurred after ZAP was terminated.
- See the [OAST add-on documentation](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/desktop/addons/oast-support/) for more info.

```

We are using GoDaddy for domain name and DigitalOcean droplet for the server, a basic $5 droplet should be sufficient to run self-hosted Interactsh server. If you are not using GoDaddy, follow your registrar's process for creating / updating DNS entries.

## Configuring Interactsh domain

- Navigate to `https://dcc.godaddy.com/control/portfolio/{{domain}}/settings?subtab=hostnames`
- Add → Submit `ns1`, `ns2` with your `SERVER_IP` as value

gdd-hostname

- Navigate to `https://dcc.godaddy.com/control/dnsmanagement?domainName={{domain}}&subtab=nameservers`
- Change Nameservers → I'll use my own nameservers → Submit `ns1.INTERACTSH_DOMAIN`, `ns2.INTERACTSH_DOMAIN`

gdd-ns

## Configuring Interactsh server

Install `interactsh-server` on your **VPS**

```bash
go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/interactsh/cmd/interactsh-server@latest
```

Considering domain name setup is **completed**, run the below command to run `interactsh-server`

```bash
interactsh-server -domain INTERACTSH_DOMAIN
```

Following is an example of a successful installation and operation of a self-hosted server:

![interactsh-server](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8293321/150676089-b5638c19-33a3-426a-987c-3ac6fa227012.png)

A number of needed flags are configured automatically to run `interactsh-server` with default settings. For example, `ip` and `listen-ip` flags set with the Public IP address of the system when possible.

## Running Interactsh Server

```console
interactsh-server -domain interact.sh

projectdiscovery.io

[INF] Listening with the following services:
[HTTPS] Listening on TCP 46.101.25.250:443
[HTTP] Listening on TCP 46.101.25.250:80
[SMTPS] Listening on TCP 46.101.25.250:587
[LDAP] Listening on TCP 46.101.25.250:389

[DNS] Listening on TCP 46.101.25.250:53
[DNS] Listening on UDP 46.101.25.250:53
```

## Interactsh Server with Multiple Domain

Multiple domain names can be given in the same way as above to run the same interactsh server across multiple **configured domains**.

```console
interactsh-server -d oast.pro,oast.me

projectdiscovery.io

[INF] Loading existing SSL Certificate for: [*.oast.pro, oast.pro]
[INF] Loading existing SSL Certificate for: [*.oast.me, oast.me]
[INF] Listening with the following services:
[HTTPS] Listening on TCP 46.101.25.250:443
[HTTP] Listening on TCP 46.101.25.250:80
[SMTPS] Listening on TCP 46.101.25.250:587
[LDAP] Listening on TCP 46.101.25.250:389
[SMTP] Listening on TCP 46.101.25.250:25
[DNS] Listening on TCP 46.101.25.250:53
[DNS] Listening on UDP 46.101.25.250:53
```

**Note:**

While running interactsh server on **Cloud VM**'s like Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), it is required to update the security rules to allow **"all traffic"** for inbound connections.

There are more useful capabilities supported by `interactsh-server` that are not enabled by default and are intended to be used only by **self-hosted** servers.

## Interactsh Server behind a reverse proxy

`interactsh-server` might require custom ports for services if the default ones are already busy. If this is the case but still default ports are required as part of the payload, it's possible to configure `interactsh-server` behind a reverse proxy, by port-forwarding HTTP/TCP/UDP based services via `http/stream` proxy directive (`proxy_pass`).

## Nginx

Assuming that `interactsh-server` essential services run on the following ports:

- HTTP: 8080/TCP
- HTTPS: 8440/TCP
- SMTP: 8025/TCP
- DNS: 8053/UDP
- DNS: 8053/TCP

The nginx configuration file to forward the traffic would look like the following one:

```conf
# http/https
http {
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name mysite.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/interactsh.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/interactsh.key;

location / {
proxy_pass https://interachsh.mysite.com:80/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
}

stream {
# smtp
server {
listen 25;
proxy_pass interachsh.mysite.com:8025;
}

# dns
server {
listen 53;
proxy_pass interachsh.mysite.com:8053;
}
server {
listen 53 udp;
proxy_pass interachsh.mysite.com:8053;
}
}
```

**Configured Domains**

```console
interactsh-server -d oast.pro,oast.me

projectdiscovery.io

## Custom Server Index

Index page for http server can be customized while running custom interactsh server using `-http-index` flag.

```console
interactsh-server -d hackwithautomation.com -http-index banner.html
```

`{DOMAIN}` placeholder is also supported in index file to replace with server domain name.

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8293321/179397016-f6ee12e0-5b0b-42b6-83e7-f0972a804655.png)

## Static File Hosting

Interactsh http server optionally enables file hosting to help in security testing. This capability can be used with a self-hosted server to serve files for common payloads for **XSS, XXE, RCE** and other attacks.

To use this feature, `-http-directory` flag can be used which accepts diretory as input and files are served under `/s/` directory.

```console
interactsh-server -d hackwithautomation.com -http-directory ./paylods
```

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8293321/179396480-d5ff8399-8b91-48aa-b21f-c67e40e80945.png)

## Dynamic HTTP Response

Interactsh http server optionally enables responding with dynamic HTTP response by using query parameters. This feature can be enabled by using `-dr` or `-dynamic-resp` flag.

The following query parameter names are supported - `body`, `header`, `status` and `delay`. Multiple `header` parameters can be specified to set multiple headers.

- **body** (response body)
- **header** (response header)
- **status** (response status code)
- **delay** (response time)

```console
curl -i 'https://hackwithautomation.com/x?status=307&body=this+is+example+body&delay=1&header=header1:value1&header=header1:value12'

HTTP/2 307
header1: value1
header1: value12
server: hackwithautomation.com
x-interactsh-version: 1.0.7
content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
content-length: 20
date: Tue, 13 Sep 2022 12:31:05 GMT

this is example body
```

> **Note**:

- Dynamic HTTP Response feature is disabled as default.
- By design, this feature lets anyone run client-side code / redirects using your interactsh domain / server
- Using this option with an isolated domain is recommended to **avoid security impact** on associated root/subdomains.

## Wildcard Interaction

To enable `wildcard` interaction for configured Interactsh domain `wildcard` flag can be used with implicit authentication protection via the `auth` flag if the `token` flag is omitted.

```console
interactsh-server -domain hackwithautomation.com -wildcard

projectdiscovery.io

[INF] Client Token: 699c55544ce1604c63edb769e51190acaad1f239589a35671ccabd664385cfc7

```

## LDAP Interaction

As default, Interactsh server support LDAP interaction for the payload included in [search query](https://ldapwiki.com/wiki/LDAP%20Query%20Examples), additionally `ldap` flag can be used for complete logging.

```console
interactsh-server -domain hackwithautomation.com -sa -ldap

projectdiscovery.io

[DNS] Listening on TCP 157.230.223.165:53
```

## Custom Payload Length

The length of the interactsh payload is **33** by default, consisting of **20** (unique correlation-id) + **13** (nonce token), which can be customized using the `cidl` and `cidn` flags to make shorter when required with self-hosted interacsh server.

```console
interactsh-server -d hackwithautomation.com -cidl 4 -cidn 6

projectdiscovery.io

[INF] Loading existing SSL Certificate for: [*.hackwithautomation.com, hackwithautomation.com]
[INF] Listening with the following services:

[SMTPS] Listening on TCP 157.230.223.165:587
[DNS] Listening on UDP 157.230.223.165:53
[HTTP] Listening on TCP 157.230.223.165:80

[SMTP] Listening on TCP 157.230.223.165:25
[DNS] Listening on TCP 157.230.223.165:53
```

**Note:** It is important and required to use same length on both side (**client** and **server**), otherwise co-relation will not work.

```console

## Custom SSL Certificate

The [certmagic](https://github.com/caddyserver/certmagic) library is used by default by interactsh server to produce wildcard certificates for requested domain in an automatic way. To use your own SSL certificate with self-hosted interactsh server, `cert` and `privkey` flag can be used to provider required certificate files.

**Note:** To utilize all of the functionality of the SSL protocol, a wildcard certificate is mandatory.

```console
interactsh-server -d hackwithautomation.com -cert hackwithautomation.com.crt -privkey hackwithautomation.com.key

## Supported Protocols

### FTP

FTP support can be enabled with the `-ftp` flag and is recommended for self-hosted instances only. The FTP agent simulates a fully-functional FTP server agent with authentication that captures authentications with every file operation. By default, the agent listens for clear text FTP on port 21 (this can be changed with the `-ftp-port` flag) and tls FTP on port 990 (this can be changed with the `-ftps-port` flag) and lists in read-only mode the content of the OS default temporary directory (customizable with the `-ftp-dir` option). The ftp engine uses the custom certificate and private key if provided or it will extract the certificate and private key from the first acme domain if provided.
Example of starting the FTP daemon and capturing a login interaction:

```console
$ sudo go run . -ftp -skip-acme -debug -domain localhost
...

```

## External Supported Protocols

### SMB

The `-smb` flag enables the Samba protocol (only for self-hosted instances). The samba protocol uses [impacket](https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket) `smbserver` class to simulate a samba daemon share listening on port `445` unless changed by the `-smb-port` flag. When enabled, interactsh executes under the hoods the script `smb_server.py`. Hence Python3 and impacket dependencies are required.
Example of enabling the samba server:

```console
$ sudo interactsh-server -smb -skip-acme -debug -domain localhost
```

### Responder
[Responder](https://github.com/lgandx/Responder) is wrapped in a docker container exposing various service ports via docker port forwarding. The interactions are retrieved by monitoring the shared log file `Responder-Session.log` in the temp folder. To use it on a self-hosted instance, it's necessary first to build the docker container and tag it as `interactsh`(docker daemon must be configured correctly and with port forwarding capabilities):

```console
docker build . -t interactsh
```

Then run the service with:

```console
$ sudo interactsh-server -responder -d localhost
```

On default settings, the daemon listens on the following ports:

- UDP: 137, 138, 1434
+ TCP: 21 (might collide with FTP daemon if used), 110, 135, 139, 389, 445, 1433, 3141, 3128

## Interactsh Integration

### Use as library

The [examples](examples/) uses interactsh client library to get external interactions for a generated URL by making a http request to the URL.

### Nuclei - OAST

[Nuclei](https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei) vulnerability scanner utilize **Interactsh** for automated payload generation and detection of out of band based security vulnerabilities.

See [Nuclei + Interactsh](https://blog.projectdiscovery.io/nuclei-interactsh-integration/) Integration blog and [guide document](https://nuclei.projectdiscovery.io/templating-guide/interactsh/) for more information.

# Cloud Metadata

Interactsh server supports DNS records for cloud metadata services, which is useful for testing SSRF-related vulnerabilities.

Currently supported metadata services:

- [AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-metadata.html)
- [Alibaba](https://www.alibabacloud.com/blog/alibaba-cloud-ecs-metadata-user-data-and-dynamic-data_594351)

Example:

* **aws.interact.sh** points to 169.254.169.254
* **alibaba.interact.sh** points to 100.100.100.200
