preq is an HTTP requester for the httpipe format. It takes httpipe input via standard input, makes the given requests and prints httpipe to standard output.
preq is designed to be used with HTTP 1.1 requests only and does not support the CONNECT method.
$ echo '{"host":"x.com","req":"GET / HTTP/1.1\\r\\nHost: x.com\\r\\n\\r\\n"}' | preq
{"host":"x.com","port":443,"req":"GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: x.com\r\n\r\n","resp":"HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily\r\n ... "}
$ # Using pfuzz to generate requests and drip to limit the request rate:
$ pfuzz -w /path/to/wordlist -u 'https://foo.com/FUZZ' | drip 500ms | preq -p 20
...You can download precompiled binaries from the releases
page or install it with
go install github.com/codesoap/preq@latest.
$ preq -h
Usage of preq:
-p int
Number of parallel requests. (default 1)
-t duration
Timeout for requests. (default 5s)
preq expects input via standard input in the httpipe format. At least
the "host" and "req" fields must be present. If the "tls" field is
missing, TLS (HTTPS) will be used. If the "port" field is missing, port
80 will be used if TLS is not used and port 443 otherwise.
preq will make requests in the order they arrived via standard input.
However, if the value of the -p flag is greater than 1, the order of the
output lines may not match the input.
Example:
echo '{"host":"x.com","req":"GET / HTTP/1.1\\r\\nHost: x.com\\r\\n\\r\\n"}' | preq
