- Major rewrite on proxy code for reducing memory
overhead when proxy over HTTPS. This improves proxy performance
over SSL, especially when there are lots of concurrent requests.
- An experimental feature to support viewing selected
history message in browser. This will open native browser to obtain
cached result from the proxy. Right now only Windows platform is
supported. Note that the default browser (eg IE) must be
configured to proxy via Paros. For request unavailable from
cache, it'll send out the new requests for display.
This feature can be useful for post analysis.
- Improved accuracy on autocomplete plugin check.
- Use newest HSQLDB library (version 1.8.0.2).
Fix
- Major bug fix that config.xml may grow on each
option save. The bug is introduced since V3.2.3. This may
cause OutofMemoryError when the application starts due to prolonged use
of the application with frequent option change (eg several weeks).
- Minor visual tuning, fix and rearrangement of pop-up menus.

Burp proxy v1.3beta is now available
Posted by boss on Wednesday, 10 August 2005 @ 21:49:08 EDT (1797 reads)
Topic Web Proxy
Burp proxy is an interactive HTTP/S proxy server for attacking and debugging web-enabled applications. It operates as a man-in-the-middle between the end browser and the target Web server, and allows the user to intercept, inspect, and modify the raw traffic passing in both directions.
[New features in version 1.3]
- fine-grained rules governing interception of requests and responses, based on domain, IP address, protocol, HTTP method, URL, resource type, parameters, cookies, header/body content, response code, content type and HTML page title.
- regex-based search and highlight in all text panes.
- in addition to the text and hex views of intercepted messages, a tabular view is available to display and edit all request parameters (in the URL, message body and cookies).
- extensibility via the IBurpExtender interface, which allows arbitrary code to be dynamically loaded and receive full details of every request and response, to perform logging functions, modify the message, specify an action (intercept, drop, etc) and perform any other arbitrary processing.
- optional disk-based caching of server responses, which can be viewed in-browser (at http://burp/) or in-GUI by double-clicking on an item in the history table.
- HTML rendering of cached responses.
- quick toggle of interception mode in main intercept tab.
- facility to automatically toggle GET/POST request type, and correctly relocate parameters.
- facility to copy to clipboard single/all visited URLs by right-clicking a history table item.
- optional persistent preferences across program launches.
- correct handling of "HTTP 100 Continue" responses.
- logging of all X509 certificates encountered.

The user can view the session by running normal GUI mode as usual.
- Export selected history to file. Right-click on the History panel to export the HTTP messages to a text file.
- Http state can be enabled (only support state using cookie). This allow reuse of session for scanning. Also improve spider accuracy. This function need to be enabled in the "Edit->enable state". Use it when you need to override the current session.
- Improved spider to handle Meta tags and also avoid early termination of spider threads if the last URL is crawled.
Fix
- NTLM proxy authentication support. Thanks to the user reporting this bug.
- Proxy skip setting unable to read configuration on first use.

Today's focus: Paros provides a diagnostic proxy
By Mark Gibbs
Web applications have gone from being a novelty to becoming the meat and potatoes of many IT diets. But as we build ever more complex Web applications infrastructures we need new tools to help us understand how the flow of communications really work.
We also need to look for security problems because like any other new technology, Web applications present us with new risks.
I just found a terrific tool for tracking Web application traffic and checking Web application integrity: Paros Proxy, published by ProofSecure.com (see editorial links below).
Paros Proxy - or simply "Paros" - is a Java application (JRE 1.4.x) that can not only monitor and capture all HTTP and HTTPS data passing between servers and clients, it can also track cookies and form fields and allows you to modify and resend individual requests. It also supports proxy-chaining, filtering and performs intelligent vulnerability scanning.
Paros can be assigned to any ports, the defaults being 8080 for HTTP and 8443 for SSL. It is worth noting that because Paros acts as a "man-in-the-middle" and needs to use its own certificate to decrypt the SSL messages, you will get a certificate validity warning shown in your browser. You need to accept the certificate or import it to suppress the warning.
As clients request content via Paros their transactions are tracked. Once that data is logged Paros offers a scanner function to scan the Web site hierarchy (or a part of it) and can look for common server misconfigurations.
Currently, Paros checks for HTTP PUT allowed, directory indexable, if obsolete files exist, if cross-site scripting
(XSS) is allowed on the query parameters, default files for the Websphere server and ColdFusion. Paros will exhaustively test throughout the hierarchy which ProofSecure claims is "more accurate" than other vulnerability scanners.
The filter feature can detect and alert you of the occurrence of predefined patterns in HTTP messages. These filters include logging all of the accepted cookies, logging all of the HTTP and HTTPS GET and POST queries sent from the client.
The current version of Paros (v3.1.3) also includes a beta release of a spidering system to crawl Web sites and gather as many URL links as possible. It supports cookies and proxy chaining, but cannot crawl SSL Web sites with invalid certificates, isn't multi-threaded, will have problems with 'malformed' URLs and will not see URLs generated by JavaScript.
When you click on a logged transaction Paros displays it separated into its header and body sections. Right-clicking on the transaction reveals a menu that lets run a security scan on the target URL or re-send the request. Re-sending brings up a new interface that allows you to edit the request and displays the raw results (we would love to see the ability to load the response into a standard browser so that the contents could be seen properly rendered).
This is quite a technical tool and fantastically useful in diagnosis and analysis. It will give you a deep insight into how your Web applications and their clients are communicating.
Paros Proxy is quite a tool. And it is free.

Burp Proxy V1.1 Released
Posted by boss on Monday, 26 January 2004 @ 15:44:39 EST (1731 reads)
Topic Web Proxy
NEW!! Burp proxy v1.1 released - adds downstream proxy support, multiple authentication types and regexp-based header manipulation.
Burp proxy is an interactive HTTP/S proxy server for attacking and debugging web-enabled applications. It operates as a man-in-the-middle between the end browser and the target web server, and allows the user to intercept, inspect and modify the raw traffic passing in both directions.
Burp proxy allows an attacker to find and exploit application vulnerabilities by monitoring and manipulating critical parameters and other data transmitted by the application. By modifying browser requests in various malicious ways, burp proxy can be used to perform attacks such as SQL injection, cookie subversion, privilege escalation, session hijacking, directory traversal and buffer overflows.
Key features include:
- Full HTTP and HTTPS proxy server.
- Text and hex-editing of intercepted traffic, so even binary data can be manipulated.
- Full history of all requests and modifications, with ability to reissue and re-modify individual requests.
- Support for downstream proxy server.
- Authentication to downstream proxy and web servers, using basic, NTLM or digest authentication types.
- Automated regexp-based manipulation of HTTP request and response headers.
- GUI front-end and in-browser controls.
- Automatic update of Content-Length header in modified messages.
Burp proxy is an all-java application, and runs on any platform for which a Java Runtime Environment is available. It requires version 1.4 or later. The JRE can be obtained for free from java.sun.com.
For examples of burp proxy in action, see the screenshots, or for detailed information about the configuration and use of burp proxy, see the help file.
