Ginger

Ginger is an open source security assessment tool that helps in assessing the security of a given Pentaho BA application instance.

Please keep in mind that this project is still a work in progress, and not all features might be present or work as intended.

Usage

Ginger has only one mandatory parameter, the URL of the target Pentaho installation:

root@kitploit:~
user@host:~$ python gynger.py http://localhost:8080/pentaho

Note: do not include a trailing slash (/)

Doing that will start Ginger in Anonymous mode, with limited funcionality. If valid credentials are known, those should be provided:

root@kitploit:~
user@host:~$ python gynger.py http://localhost:8080/pentaho -u admin -p password

When Ginger establishes a connection with Pentaho BA, it will prompt and wait for commands. The complete list of available commands can be seen by typing help.

CommandReference
apitry to list available API calls, even as Anonymous user
dbslist all connected db credentials
fileslist all available files in repository
usernameslist all valid usernames
userroleslist all valid usernames and valid roles

Warning!

Ginger comes with absolutely NO WARRANTY, and shall not be used at any system where prior approval has not been granted. Use at your own risk.
