HoneyHTTPD

HoneyHTTPD is a Python-based web server framework. It makes it easy to set up fake web servers and web services, respond with the precise data you want, and record the requests given to it. HoneyHTTPD allows you to build your responses with Python at the HTTP protocol level to imitate almost any server or service you want. No complex setups and proxies required!

This information can be logged to different places, the currently supported outputs are:

• Files
• ElasticSearch
• Stdout
• AWS S3

HoneyPoke supports both Python 2.7 (I know its EOL, but just in case) and Python 3.

Installation

1. Clone or download this repo
2. Install dependencies:
   • Python 2: sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
   • Python 3: sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
3. Be sure the large and logs directories are writeable by the user and group you plan to have HoneyHTTPD running under.

Setup

1. Copy config.json.default to config.json Modify the config file.
   • loggers enables and disables loggers. This done with the active key under the respective loggers. Some may need extra configuation, which is in the config key.
   • servers contains a list of servers you want to run. Each entry has the following keys:
     • handler indicates the server module in the servers directory to use for that port
     • mode is either http or https which indicates if the server should return normal HTTP or HTTPS
     • port is the port to run on
     • domain indicates the "domain" this server is running
     • timeout is the timeout for requests
     • cert_path is only required when in https mode. This is the path to the server certificate in the PEM format.
   • user is the user you want the script to drop privileges to
   • group is the group you want the script to drop privileges to
2. Run HoneyHTTPD with:
   • Python 2 sudo python2 start.py --config config.json
   • Python 3 sudo python3 start.py --config config.json

Making Server Modules

Server modules live in the servers directory. They are classes that handle the HTTP requests. These modules must inherit from the Server class in lib.server. The class name and the name of the server module file must be the same. Modules can inherit from other server modules to build on their functionality.

Generating SSL certificates

openssl req -new -x509 -keyout server.pem -out server.pem -days 365 -nodes
