Url's - Filter by - Parameters

urlF.py is a Python script designed to remove duplicate URLs based on both the base URL (including path) and their query parameters. The script processes a list of URLs from an input file, filters out duplicates based on their query parameters, and writes the unique URLs to an output file.

🚀 Installation

You can install urlF.py using GitHub or PyPI.

Option 1: Install from GitHub

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Boopath1/urlF.py

or

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Boopath1/urlF.py

Install the required dependencies:

Step 2

pip3 install -r requirements.txt  # or pip install -r requirements.txt

Option 2: Install from PyPI

Step 1: Install via pip

pip install urlf  # Standard installation

Alternative: If Facing System Restrictions

pip install urlf --break-system-packages  # For some restricted environments

Usage

Step 1

python3 -m urlf <input_file> <output_file>

• <input_file>: Path to the input file containing the list of URLs.
• <output_file>: Path to the output file where unique URLs will be written.

Basic usage:

Step 2

python3 urlF.py duplicate-params.txt filtered_urls.txt

urlF.py: The main script file. It processes URLs from an input file, removes duplicates based on query parameters, and writes the results to an output file.

Example

The input file duplicate-params.txt might look like this:

https://example.com/page?fileGuid=DPg868kv89HJtQ8q
https://example.com/page?fileGuid=DPg868kv89HJtQ8q&anotherParam=123
https://example.com/page?anotherParam=123
https://example.com/page?fileGuid=aAqwe868kv89HJtQ8q
https://example.com/page?fileGuid=DPg868kv89HJtQ8q&extraParam=xyz
https://example.com/page?extraParam=xyz
https://example.com/page?extraParam=xyz_Aqw
https://example.com/page?fileGuid=DifferentGuid

The output file filtered_urls.txt will contain:

https://example.com/page?fileGuid=DPg868kv89HJtQ8q
https://example.com/page?fileGuid=DPg868kv89HJtQ8q&anotherParam=123
https://example.com/page?anotherParam=123
https://example.com/page?fileGuid=DPg868kv89HJtQ8q&extraParam=xyz
https://example.com/page?extraParam=xyz

📊 Comparison with Other Tools

Tool	Functionality	Limitation
sort	Orders URLs alphabetically	Does not filter based on query parameters
urldedupe	Removes exact duplicate URLs	Cannot analyze query parameter uniqueness
uro	Normalizes and deduplicates URLs	Does not focus on parameter-based filtering
urlF.py	Filter URLs based on both the base URL (including path) and their query parameters	Provides better query-based filtering and cleanup

Sample POC

The timing is also mentioned on the right side. You can verify that this script takes little time compared to other tools.

🔹 Why Run This After paramspider?

• When running paramspider, you’ll often get duplicate parameters.
• Instead of scanning the same parameter multiple times, use urlF.py to filter results efficiently.

• Almost 2K URLs 😱

🎯 Final Thoughts

• After enumerating all the URLs using tools like waybackurls, gau, katana, and others, use urlF.py to get unique URLs along with their parameters.
• This ensures efficient filtering, reduces redundant requests, and helps in better targeted testing.
• Optimized for security researchers and penetration testers to streamline the URL analysis process.

Happy Hacking! 🎯 🚀
