XCat is a command line tool to exploit and investigate blind XPath injection vulnerabilities.

For a complete reference read the documentation here: https://xcat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

It supports an large number of features:

- Auto-selects injections (run `xcat injections` for a list)

- Detects the version and capabilities of the xpath parser and
  selects the fastest method of retrieval

- Built in out-of-bound HTTP server
    - Automates XXE attacks
    - Can use OOB HTTP requests to drastically speed up retrieval

- Custom request headers and body

- Built in REPL shell, supporting:
    - Reading arbitrary files
    - Reading environment variables
    - Listing directories
    - Uploading/downloading files (soon TM)

- Optimized retrieval
    - Uses binary search over unicode codepoints if available
    - Fallbacks include searching for common characters previously retrieved first
    - Normalizes unicode to reduce the search space

## Install

Run `pip install xcat`

**Requires Python 3.7**. You can easily install this with [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv):
