Introducing a pair of tools that go well together and give you some good control for HTTP transaction analysis and looking at the security of web applications.

Odysseus is a tool designed for testing the security of web applications.

Odysseus is a proxy server, which acts as a man-in-the-middle during an HTTP session. A typical HTTP proxy will relay packets to and from a client browser and a web server. Odysseus will intercept an HTTP session’s data in either direction and give the user the ability to alter the data before transmission.

For example, during a normal HTTP SSL connection a typical proxy will relay the session between the server and the client and allow the two end nodes to negotiate SSL. In contrast, when in intercept mode, Odysseus will pretend to be the server and negotiate two SSL sessions, one with the client browser and another with the web server.

As data is transmitted between the two nodes, Odysseus decrypts the data and gives the user the ability to alter and/or log the data in clear text before transmission.

Telemachus is a companion utility for Odysseus, allowing further analysis and manipulation of the HTTP transactions that have passed through Odysseus.

Telemachus can communicate with the currently active instance of Odysseus, or alternately load a previously saved Odysseus activity log file.

Although primarily designed to be used in conjunction with Odysseus, Telemachus can be used a stand-alone utility.

Echo Mirage is a generic network proxy. It uses DLL injection and function hooking to redirect network related function calls so that data transmitted and received by local applications can be observed and modified.

Think of it as Odysseus (or Burp, if you prefer) that will proxy (almost) anything…

Windows encryption and OpenSSL functions are also hooked so that the plain text of data being sent and received over an encrypted session is also available.

Echo Mirage tries to be smart with the OpenSSL calls by monitoring ssl_set_fd() and ssl_connect() to determine when SSL is in use on a particular socket. When SSL is in use the encrypted stream is ignored and only the unencrypted data is processed. This doesn’t work for the windows SSL stuff because that functions in an entirely different way…

Traffic can be intercepted in real-time, or manipulated with regular expressions and action scripts.

Changes Since 1.0

• Hooked RecvFrom, SendTo, WSAConnect, WSASend, WSASendTo and WSARecvFrom.
• Fixed intermittent crash on uninject.
• Fixed intermittent crash in thread termination.

There’s been a lot of nice Web relevant testing and hacking tools coming out lately, I’ve gotten quite a collection to post about, so do try them out and let me know what you think.

BeEF is the browser exploitation framework. Its purposes in life is to provide an easily integratable framework to demonstrate the impact of browser and cross-site scripting issues in real-time. The modular structure has focused on making module development a trivial process with the intelligence existing within BeEF.

The current version is 0.2.1 and is still a work in progress.

Modules Loaded

The ‘Load Modules’ area shows what modules are available. Clicking on them will load the module into the module console area. The modules are the parts of the application that provide code to be sent to the controlled browser. One of the main strengths of BeEF is the ease in with modules can be written. The require minimal effort to incorporate into the framework.

The module console area shows the modules input and configuration details. The following screenshot show the input options for the Port Scanning Module.

Zombies

The ‘Zombies’ section of the sidebar displays basic details of the browser(s) under control of BeEF. All modules will execute within the zombies listed here.
