Penetration-testing frameworks can be incredibly useful since they often streamline certain processes and save time by having a lot of tools available in one place. Of course, the most popular pentesting framework is undoubtedly Metasploit, but there are many others out there that cater to particular needs. For auditing web applications and servers, Tishna comes in handy.
The Tishna pentesting framework is designed to automate some of the processes involved in auditing web apps and web servers. The tool is useful for administrators and IT professionals in that it can audit critical applications, like those used in banks and other enterprise environments. It's also beneficial from an attacker's point of view since it can scan and enumerate a variety of services and check for specific vulnerabilities.
Tishna offers a self-contained framework that utilizes a variety of modules and scripts to perform its functions. It's false-positive-free, so if it finds something, it'll show the results regardless. If it doesn't find anything, it will return blank results rather than errors. Tishna can be integrated and installed to the system and has been tested on popular pentesting Linux distros such as Kali, Parrot OS, and BlackArch.
Installing Tishna
In this tutorial, we'll be using DVWA, part of the Metasploitable 2 virtual machine, as the target, and Kali Linux as our local machine. To follow along, you can do the same, but you can also use a similar setup if you have another pentesting lab.
To get started, we can clone into the GitHub repository so that we can install Tishna to our system. Use the git command:
~# git clone https://github.com/haroonawanofficial/Tishna.git
Cloning into 'Tishna'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 17, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (17/17), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (17/17), done.
remote: Total 571 (delta 7), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 554
Receiving objects: 100% (571/571), 191.52 KiB | 1.23 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (276/276), done.
Next, change into the newly created directory:
~# cd Tishna/
And use ls to verify the contents of the repo:
~/Tishna# ls
2fa.sh bufferlocal.pl crawler.py httpsmethods1.sh kra.sh phantomxsspayloads rfi.pl tishna.pl xpath.sh
amazon.sh bypassdnshistory.sh crawler.sh httpsmethods2.sh lfi.sh phantomxsspayload.sh rfi.sh tpl.sh xsrfprobe.sh

To run the installation script, and to make the other scripts Tishna uses functional, we need to make anything ending in .sh executable. Use the chmod command along with a wildcard to make these scripts executable:
~/Tishna# chmod u+x *.sh
Now, we can run the script to install Tishna to the system:
~/Tishna# ./Kali_Installer.sh

tishna: _>
This gives us a custom command prompt and all the modules that are available.
Using Tishna
First, open DVWA and log in using the default credentials (admin/password). Next, go to the security page and set the level to low, which will ensure our testing works with minimal interruptions:
To use Tishna, simply enter the corresponding number of the module to use at the prompt. For instance, to run the module to audit HTTP methods, enter 1 at the prompt:
tishna: _> 1
Instructions will be provided on the screen and will vary depending on the module in use. For this particular one, we just need to enter the URL of the target:
tishna: _> http://10.10.0.50/dvwa/

We can see the different response header information returned to us. We can attempt to extract any images being served with module 3 — enter it at the prompt:
tishna: _> 3
Once we give it the URL, it will search for any images and save them in the directory we cloned from GitHub:
tishna: _> http://10.10.0.50/dvwa/
dvwa/images/login_logo.png
Another handy module is the web crawler that can be used to extract any additional URLs. Enter 4 at the prompt:
tishna: _> 4
Next, select a crawler to use — we'll use option 1, the default Perl crawler:
tishna: _>
[!] 1 - Enter Perl Crawler Mode
[!] 2 - Enter Python Crawler Mode
[!] Select An Option:
Then, enter the target URL and it will attempt to locate other directories:
tishna: _>
[!] 1 - Enter Perl Crawler Mode
[!] 2 - Enter Python Crawler Mode
[!] Select An Option: 1
[!] Enter Victim URL: http://10.10.0.50
/twiki/
/phpMyAdmin/
/mutillidae/
/dvwa/
/dav/
We can attempt to fuzz for HTTP response smuggling, which is basically a technique used to trick a server into exporting HTTP responses to a client via HTTP. Enter 12 at the prompt to use this module:
tishna: _> 12
Enter the URL of the target and it will begin fuzzing:
tishna: _>
[!] Caution: Note that HTTP Smuggling does *not* exploit any vulnerability in the target web application.
Therefore, it can be difficult to convince the client for countermeasures

Another useful module is the one that will check for Shellshock vulnerabilities — load it by entering 17 at the prompt:
tishna: _> 17
This one will test for the Shellshock vulnerability relating to CGI. We'll use the first option here:
tishna: _>

[!] Make sure victim relates to cgi
[!] Examine properly each response
[!] 1 - ShellShocker Type 1
[!] 2 - ShellShocker Type 2
[!] Enter Option: 1
It then gives us the suggested path to test for, although we can also enter a custom URL. Once it starts, it will run through a bunch of different payloads testing for Shellshock:
[!] Default would be target/cgi-bin/status
[!] Custom input is also possible

We can see this ended in an error, but it can still be useful nonetheless.
There are also a number of modules that can be used to test for XSS vulnerabilities, including using response splitting to do so. Enter 45 at the prompt to use this module:
tishna: _> 45
First, let's navigate to the XSS page of DVWA to grab the URL:
Then, we can enter it at the prompt to kick it off:
tishna: _>

[ + ] Reflection found, do confirm manually
We can see it returned with a potential reflection and tells us to confirm manually.
There are a lot of modules available in Tishna, but be aware that not all of them work correctly. This project is being actively developed, though, so even though it's not perfect, it is still useful and will likely improve in the future.
Wrapping Up
In this tutorial, we learned how to use a pentesting framework called Tishna to audit and enumerate a vulnerable web app. First, we set up the tool and installed it on our system. Then, we explored some of the modules it contains, such as those used to gather HTTP header information, extract images and URLs, and test for vulnerabilities such as XSS and Shellshock. Tishna is a handy tool that can automate some of the processes involved in auditing web applications and servers.
