OWASP Hatkit Proxy Project

Main

The Hatkit Proxy is an intercepting http/tcp proxy which is based on the Owasp Proxy.

Background

The primary purpose of the Hatkit Proxy is to create a minimal, lightweight proxy which stores traffic into an offline storage where further analysis can be performed, i.e. all kinds of analysis which is currently implemented by the proxies themselves (webscarab/burp/paros etc).

Also, since the http traffic is stored in a MongoDB, the traffic is stored at an object-level, retaining the structure of the parsed traffic.

Hatkit proxy features

The additions which have been implemented on top of Owasp Proxy are:

• Swing-based UI,
• Interception capabilities with manual edit, both for TCP and HTTP traffic,
• Syntax highlightning (html/form-data/http) based on JFlex,
• Storage of http traffic into MongoDB database,
• Possibilities to intercept in Fully Qualified mode (like all other http-proxies) OR Non-fully qualified mode. The latter means that interception is performed *after* the host has been parsed, thereby enabling the user to submit non-valid http content.
• A set of filters to either ignore or process traffic which is routed to the proxy. The 'ignored' traffic will be streamed to the endpoint with minimal impact on performance.

The database

More info coming about this. For now, some information on why this database is used and what that entails is outlined in this email: About MongoDB on w3af devel list

what is this project? Name: OWASP Hatkit Proxy Project (home page) Purpose: The Hatkit Proxy is an intercepting http/tcp proxy based on the Owasp Proxy, but with several additions. These additions are: Swing-based UI, Interception capabilities with manual edit, Syntax highlightning (html/form-data/http) based on JFlex, Storage of http traffic into MongoDB database, Interception capabilities of tcp-traffic, Possibilities to intercept in Fully Qualified mode (like all other http-proxies) OR Non-fully qualified mode. The latter means that interception is performed *after* the host has been parsed, thereby enabling the user to submit non-valid http content. The primary purpose of the Hatkit Proxy is to create a minimal, lightweight proxy which stores traffic into an offline storage where further analysis can be performed, e.g. all kinds of analysis which is currently implemented by the proxies themselves (webscarab/burp/paros etc). Also, since the http traffic is stored in a MongoDB, the traffic is stored at an object-level, retaining the structure of the parsed traffic, which enables a user to perform advanced queries later. The proxy should also be a good choice for 'defenders' who wants to (temporarily?) monitor traffic. The proxy itself is, as stated, very lightweight, and the backend MongoDB storage scales very well and should be able to handle extreme amounts of data. This would allow defenders to perform advanced post-mortem or real-time analysis of incoming traffic. Built in Java/Swing + MongoDB.
