A CRLF injection is the injection of newlines in places where the server doesn’t expect newlines. This can cause a plethora of vulnerabilities including XSS, session fixation, cookie injection, open redirect, and much more! What are we waiting for? Let’s check out CRLFuzz, the tool that can help you!

CRLFuzz is a tool written in Go by @dwisiswant0 that helps you find CRLF injections with ease!
It takes a list of URLs and will attempt to inject a header using a list of payloads. If it detects that a header was successfully injected, you’ll be alerted of it. It’s as easy as that.
Check out the video below for an example of how you can use CRLFuzz!
Want to install CRLFuzz? Well, just download the GitHub releases, untar and done!
Download the appropriate release from the releases on Github.

What to fuzz?
-u or –url can be used to define a URL to fuzz.
-l or –list can be used to specify a file with URLs to fuzz.
What kind of request are we sending?
-X or –method can be used to specify the request method to be used. This option defaults to GET.
-d or –data can be used to define additional request data.
-H or –header can be used to set a custom header to pass to the target.
Outputting what?
-o or –output can be used to save results to a file.
-v or –verbose can be used to show more information.
-s or –silent can be used to not output anything.
Other useful options?
-c or –concurrent can be used to set how many concurrent connections will be made. The default is 25.
-x or –proxy can be used to specify a proxy.
CRLFuzz is a tiny, yet helpful tool to find those injection points for your secretive CRLFs. Start using it today and let’s get some bounties!
