🔗 URLShort — Advanced URL Shortener & Parameter Generator

URLShort is a powerful and intelligent tool written in Go to split, shorten, and fuzz URLs for automation, testing, and security purposes.
Built with ❤️ by Neeraj Sah (Team HyperGod-X) to help you automate recon, parameter manipulation, and payload injection — quickly and effectively.

🙋‍♂️ Who Is It For?

• 🧑‍💻 Web Developers — Analyze and test URL behavior.
• 🐞 Bug Bounty Hunters — Generate fuzzable URL vectors fast.
• 🛡 Security Professionals — Inject payloads into endpoints for XSS/IDOR testing.
• 🧪 QA Engineers — Automate URL manipulation for test coverage.
• 🧰 Red Teamers & 🔷 Blue Teamers / Recon Experts — Enhance endpoint discovery and testing.

---

🧠 Why Use It?

• ✅ Generate recursive URL variations
• ✅ Append payloads from CLI or file
• ✅ Target both query strings and path segments
• ✅ Deduplicate, output to file, and integrate in scripts
• ✅ Ideal for recon, fuzzing, XSS testing, path traversal, etc.

⚡️ Installation

✅ Option 1: Global Install via Go (Recommended)

go install github.com/Hx-Corp/urlshort@latest

⚠️ Ensure your $GOPATH/bin is in your system PATH:

export PATH="$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin"

Then use it globally:

urlshort -f urls.txt [options]

---

⚙️ Option 2: Manual Global Setup (via setup.go)

go build -o urlshort
go run setup.go

OS	Installs To
Linux	/usr/local/bin/hxscanner
macOS	/usr/local/bin/hxscanner
Termux	$HOME/.termux/bin/hxscanner
Windows	Start Menu as hxscanner.exe

🛡️ Requires root/sudo privileges on Unix/macOS.

---

🚀 Usage

urlshort -f <input-file> [options]

🔧 Command-line Flags

Flag	Description
-f	Input file with URLs (required)
-o	Output file to save results
-x	Delimiters for splitting (e.g., "=&") (default: =)
-p	Enable splitting on path segments (/)
-a	Append a string to each URL variation
-F	File of strings to append (overrides -a)
-D	Remove duplicate URLs
-Q	Quiet mode (suppress output, show only final messages)
-h	Display help message

---

🧪 Example Use Case

urlshort -f urls.txt -o out.txt -x "=&" -p -F payloads.txt -D

• Splits URLs by =, &, /
• Appends payloads from payloads.txt
• Deduplicates results
• Writes final output to out.txt

📁 Sample Files

urls.txt

https://example.com/page?user=admin&pass=1234
https://site.com/login.php?auth=token

payloads.txt

<script>alert(1)</script>
%27-- OR 1=1
../

---

📤 Sample Output

https://example.com/
https://example.com/page?
https://example.com/page?user=
https://example.com/page?user=admin&
https://example.com/page?user=admin&pass=
https://example.com/page?user=admin&pass=1234<script>alert(1)</script>
https://site.com/
https://site.com/login.php?
https://site.com/login.php?auth=
https://site.com/login.php?auth=token%27-- OR 1=1
...

🧠 How It Works (Internals)

1. Input Reading

   • Loads all non-empty lines from the file specified by -f.

2. Splitting Logic

   • Uses delimiters from -x to split URL query strings.
   • Adds / splitting if -p is enabled.

3. Variation Generation

   • Recursively builds prefix variations of URLs ending at each delimiter.

4. Appending

   • Combines each variation with payloads using -a or -F.

5. Deduplication

   • Optional: -D removes repeated entries using a map.

6. Output

   • Writes to file with -o or prints to console (unless -Q is used).
