Commix (short for [ comm ]and [ i ]njection e[ x ]ploiter) is an automated tool written by Anastasios Stasinopoulos ( @ancst ) that can be used from web developers, penetration testers or even security researchers in order to test web-based applications with the view to find bugs, errors or vulnerabilities related to command injection attacks. By using this tool, it is very easy to find and exploit a command injection vulnerability in a certain vulnerable parameter or HTTP header.
