QRLJacking - Tool To Hijack All Application With QR Code Login

Is that possible to hack whatsapp or anything that login with QR code ??. The answer is YES. You can hijack login sessions with QRLJacking, this tool is use QR code to hijack any applications login sessions. A lot of applications use QR code to login on their account (whatsapp, line and many more).

QRLJacking Exploitation Framework

QRLJacker is a highly customizable exploitation framework to demonstrate “QRLJacking Attack Vector” to show how it is easy to hijack services that depend on QR Code as an authentication and login method, Mainly it aims to raise the security awareness regarding all the services using the QR Code as a main way to login users to different services!

Prerequisites before installing:

Linux or MacOS. (Not working on windows)
Python 3.7+

Installing instructions:

Note: Don’t install QRLJacker and Firefox as root in a regular user’s session because it’s not supported by Firefox which would give error on running modules in framework.

Important note: If you have multiple python version, use `python3.7` command instead of `python3` in the following steps and use `python3.7 -m pip` instead of `pip`, `pip3` or even `python3 -m pip` because that’s the reason of 95% of the issues opened here. I think people often skip the important parts

Update Firefox browser to the latest version
Install the latest geckodriver from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases and extract the file then do :
- chmod +x geckodriver
- sudo mv -f geckodriver /usr/local/share/geckodriver
- sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/geckodriver /usr/local/bin/geckodriver
- sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/geckodriver /usr/bin/geckodriver
Clone the repo with git clone https://github.com/OWASP/QRLJacking then do cd QRLJacking/QRLJacker
Install all the requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt
Now you can run the framework with python3 QrlJacker.py --help

Taking advantage of the core

Commands autocomplete

The autocomplete feature that has been implemented in this framework is not the usual one you always see, here are some highlights:

It’s designed to fix typos in typed commands to the most similar command with just one tab click so saerch becomes search and so on, even if you typed any random word similar to an command in this framework.
For you lazy-ones out there like me, it can predict what module you are trying to use by typing any part of it. For example if you typed use wh and clicked tab, it would be replaced with use grabber/whatsapp and so on. I can see your smile, You are welcome!
If you typed any wrong command then pressed enter, the framework will tell you what is the nearest command to what you have typed which could be the one you really wanted.
Some less impressive things like autocomplete for options of the current module after set command, autocomplete for modules after use and info commands and finally it converts all uppercase to lowercase automatically just-in-case you switched cases by mistake while typing.
Finally, you’ll find your normal autocopmletion things you were using before, like commands autocompletion and persistent history, etc…

Automation

As you may noticed, you can use a resource file from command-line arguments before starting the framework itself or send commands directly.
Inside the framework you can use makerc command like in Metasploit but this time it only saves the correct important commands.
There are history and resource commands so you don’t need to exit the framework.
You can execute as many commands as you want at the same time by splitting them with semi-colon and many more left to be discovered by yourself.
Searching for modules in QRLJacker is so easy, you can search for a module by its name, something written in its description or even the author name.

Reporting an issue

Before reporting an issue, activate the debug mode by using the debug command or the debug commandline argument and once the error happens again, the framework will print the error trace-back. Also debug mode activates some hidden commands which will help us in debugging the error and fix the problem for you.
Finally, make sure when reporting the issue to provide the very basic info like your system, python version and the output from the debugging mode.
