Description: # InQL Scanner
        
        A security testing tool to facilitate [GraphQL](https://graphql.org/) technology security auditing efforts.
        
        ![InQL Logo](docs/inql.jpg)
        
        InQL can be used as a stand-alone script or as a [Burp Suite](https://portswigger.net/burp) extension.
        
        ## InQL Stand-Alone CLI
        
        Running `inql` from Python will issue an [Introspection](https://graphql.org/learn/introspection/) query to the target GraphQL endpoint in order fetch metadata information for:
        
        - Queries, mutations, subscriptions
        - Its fields and arguments
        - Objects and custom object types
        - Cycles inside the graphql definition
        
        InQL can inspect the introspection query results and generate clean documentation in different formats such as
        HTML and JSON schema. InQL is also able to generate templates (with optional placeholders) for all known basic data types.
        
        For all supported options, check the command line help:
        
        ```
        usage: inql [-h] [-t TARGET] [-f SCHEMA_JSON_FILE] [-k KEY] [-p PROXY]
                    [--header HEADERS HEADERS] [-d] [--no-generate-html]
                    [--no-generate-schema] [--no-generate-queries] [--generate-cycles]
                    [--cycles-timeout CYCLES_TIMEOUT] [--cycles-streaming]
                    [--generate-tsv] [--insecure] [-o OUTPUT_DIRECTORY]
        
        InQL Scanner
        
        optional arguments:
          -h, --help            show this help message and exit
          -t TARGET             Remote GraphQL Endpoint (https://<Target_IP>/graphql)
          -f SCHEMA_JSON_FILE   Schema file in JSON format
          -k KEY                API Authentication Key
          -p PROXY              IP of a web proxy to go through
                                (http://127.0.0.1:8080)
          --header HEADERS HEADERS
          -d                    Replace known GraphQL arguments types with placeholder
                                values (useful for Burp Suite)
          --no-generate-html    Generate HTML Documentation
          --no-generate-schema  Generate JSON Schema Documentation
          --no-generate-queries
                                Generate Queries
          --generate-cycles     Generate Cycles Report
          --cycles-timeout CYCLES_TIMEOUT
                                Cycles Report Timeout (in seconds)
          --cycles-streaming    Some graph are too complex to generate cycles in
                                reasonable time, stream to stdout
          --generate-tsv        Generate TSV representation of query templates. It may
                                be useful to quickly search for vulnerable I/O.
          --insecure            Accept any SSL/TLS certificate
          -o OUTPUT_DIRECTORY   Output Directory
        ```
        
        ## InQL Burp Suite Extension
        
        Since version 1.0.0 of the tool, InQL was extended to operate within Burp Suite. In this mode, the tool will retain all the stand-alone script capabilities and add a handy user interface for manipulating queries. 
        
        Using the `inql` extension for Burp Suite, you can:
        
        + Search for known GraphQL URL paths; the tool will grep and match known values to detect GraphQL endpoints within the target website
        + Search for exposed GraphQL development consoles (*GraphiQL*, *GraphQL Playground*, and other standard consoles)
        + Use a custom GraphQL tab displayed on each HTTP request/response containing GraphQL
        + Leverage the templates generation by sending those requests to Burp's Repeater tool ("Send to Repeater")
        + Leverage the templates generation and editor support by sending those requests to embedded GraphIQL ("Send to GraphiQL")
        + Configure the tool by using a custom settings tab
        
        ![InQL BURP Preview](docs/inql.gif)
        
        To use `inql` in Burp Suite, import the Python extension:
        
        + Download the [Jython](https://www.jython.org/download) Jar
        + Start Burp Suite
        + Extender Tab > Options > Python Enviroment > Set the location of Jython standalone JAR
        + Extender Tab > Extension > Add > Extension Type > Select Python
        + Download the latest `inql_burp.py` release [here](https://github.com/doyensec/inql/releases)
        + Extension File > Set the location of `inql_burp.py` > Next
        + The output should now show the following message: `InQL Scanner Started!`
        
        ### Burp Extension Usage
        
        Getting started with the `inql` Burp extension is easy:
        
        1. Load a GraphQL endpoint or a JSON schema file location inside the top input field
        2. Press the "Load" button
        3. After a few seconds, the left panel will refresh, loading the directory structure for the selected endpoint as in the following example:
        + url
        + - query
        +  - - timestamp 1
        +  - - - query1.query
        +  - - - query2.query
        +  - - timestamp 2
        +  - - - query1.query
        +  - - - query2.query
        + - mutation
        + - subscription
        4.  Selecting any *query*/*mutation*/*subscription* will load the corresponding template in the main text area
        
        ## InQL Stand-Alone UI
        
        Since version 2.0.0, InQL UI is able to operate without requiring BURP.
        It is now possible to install InQL stand-alone for `jython` and run the Scanner UI.
        
        In this mode, InQL maintains most of the Burp Scanner capabilities except for advanced 
        interactions such as "Send To Repeater" and automatic authorization header generation, available through BURP.
        
        To use `inql` stand-alone UI:
        
        + Download and Install [Jython](https://www.jython.org/download). Jython can be obtained on macOS through brew `brew install jython` or on Ubuntu derivates through `apt-get install -y jython`
        + Install inql through pip with `jython -m pip install inql`
        + Start the UI through jython with `jython -m inql`
        
        ### Burp GraphQL Query Timer
        
        Since version 3.0.0, InQL has an integrated Query Timer.
        This Query Timer is a reimagination of [Request Timer](https://github.com/PortSwigger/request-timer), which can filter for query name and body.
        
        The Query Timer is enabled by default and especially useful in conjunction with the Cycles detector. A tester can switch between graphql-editor modes (Repeater and GraphIQL) to identify [DoS queries](https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1302887/FULLTEXT01.pdf). Query Timer demonstrates the ability to attack such vulnerable graphql endpoints by counting the execution time of each and every query.
        
        ![Timer](docs/timer.gif)
        
        ## InQL Documentation Generator
        
        In either BURP or Stand-Alone mode, InQL can generate meaningful documentation for available GraphQL entities.
        Results are available as HTML pages or query templates.
        
        The resulting HTML documentation page will contain details for all available `Queries`, `Mutations`, and `Subscriptions` as shown here:
        
        ![Preview](docs/GraphQL_Introspection_Output.png)
        
        The following screenshot shows the use of templates generation:
        
        ![Preview](docs/Introspection_Templates.png)
        
        ### InQL Precise Queries
        
        Based on InQL's introspection intermediate representation (IIR), the tool is able to generate arbitrarily nested queries with support to
        any scalar type, enumerations, arrays, and objects.
        
        ```javascript
        query {
          Character(id_not_in:[1334], sort:[ROLE_DESC], search:"code", id_not:1334, id:1334, id_in:[1334]) {
            image {
              large
            }
            siteUrl
            favourites
            modNotes
            description(asHtml:true)
            media(sort:[TITLE_ROMAJI], type:ANIME, perPage:1334, page:1334) {
              edges {
                isMainStudio
              }
            }
            name {
              last
            }
            id
            isFavourite
            updatedAt
          }
        }
        ```
        
        While this enables seamless "Send to Repeater" functionality from the Scanner to the other tool components (Repeater and GraphiQL console), it is still not possible for the tool to infer placeholders for [GraphQL Custom Scalars](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/core/actions/types/index.html#custom-scalars).
        
        
        ### InQL Cycles Detector
        
        The new introspection intermediate representation (IIR) allows to inspect for cycles in defined graphql schemas by requiring access to graphql introspection-enabled endpoint only.
        
        This functionality is especially useful and automates bothersome testing practices employing graph solving algorithm. In our test, the tool was able to find millions of cycles in a matter of minutes.
