Open Source HTTP Clients

Hetty is an HTTP toolkit for security research. It aims to become an open-source alternative to commercial software like Burp Suite Pro, with powerful features tailored to the needs of the infosec and bug bounty communities. Machine-in-the-middle (MITM) HTTP proxy, with logs and advanced search. HTTP client for manually creating/editing requests, and replay proxied requests. Intercept requests and responses for manual review (edit, send/receive, cancel) Scope support, to help keep work organized. Easy-to-use web-based admin interface. Project-based database storage, to help keep work organized.

Coraza is an open-source, enterprise-grade, high-performance Web Application Firewall (WAF) ready to protect your beloved applications. It is written in Go, supports ModSecurity SecLang rulesets and is 100% compatible with the OWASP Core Rule Set. Coraza is a drop-in alternative to replace the soon-to-be abandoned Trustwave ModSecurity Engine and supports industry-standard SecLang rule sets. Coraza runs the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS) to protect your web applications from a wide range of attacks, including the OWASP Top Ten, with a minimum of false alerts. CRS protects from many common attack categories including: SQL Injection (SQLi), Cross Site Scripting (XSS), PHP & Java Code Injection, HTTPoxy, Shellshock, Scripting/Scanner/Bot Detection & Metadata & Error Leakages. Coraza is a library at its core, with many integrations to deploy on-premise Web Application Firewall instances.

go-mitmproxy is a Golang implementation of mitmproxy that supports man-in-the-middle attacks and parsing, monitoring, and tampering with HTTP/HTTPS traffic. Parses HTTP/HTTPS traffic and displays traffic details via a web interface. Supports a plugin mechanism for easily extending functionality. Various event hooks can be found in the examples directory. HTTPS certificate handling is compatible with mitmproxy and stored in the ~/.mitmproxy folder. If the root certificate is already trusted from the previous use of mitmproxy, go-mitmproxy can use it directly. Map Remote and Map Local support.

Talking to APIs doesn't have to be awkward anymore. Low-fat wrapper for the amazing Axios HTTP client library. All responses follow the same flow: success and failure alike. Responses have a problem property to help guide exception flow, attach functions that get called each request, attach functions that change all request or response data. Detects connection issues (on React Native). The only required property is baseURL and it should be the starting point for your API. It can contain a sub-path and a port as well. The responses are promise-based, so you'll need to handle things in a .then() function. The promise is always resolved with a response object. Even if there was a problem with the request! This is one of the goals of this library. It ensures sane calling code without having to handle .catch and has 2 separate flows.

Hoverfly is a lightweight, open source API simulation tool. Using Hoverfly, you can create realistic simulations of the APIs your application depends on. Replace unreliable test systems and restrictive API sandboxes with high-performance simulations in seconds. Run on MacOS, Windows or Linux, or use native Java or Python language bindings to get started quickly. Simulate API latency or failure when required by writing custom scripts in the language of your choice.

Proxyee is a JAVA-written HTTP proxy server library that supports HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSocket protocols, and supports MITM (Man-in-the-middle), which can capture and tamper with HTTP, and HTTPS packets. The CA certificate (src/resources/ca.crt) from the project needs to be imported to a trusted root certificate authority. The CA certificate (src/resources/ca.crt) from the project needs to be imported to a trusted root certificate authority. You can use the CertDownIntercept interceptor to enable the web certificate download feature.
