[] libwhisker 2.5
- LibWhisker is now licensed under the 'simplied' (2 clause) BSD license.
- Added the {whisker}->{allow_short_reads} option, which will return success
if some body data is read but it is less than the server-advertised content
length. Thanks to Dave Lodge for the suggestion.
- Thomas Reinke pointed out that cookie_parse() was lowercasing cookie
names, which causes problems if the server is being case-sensitive with
cookie names.
- Fixed a documentation typo for uri_absolute(). Thanks to Sullo for
pointing it out.
- A bug in http_fixup_request() would append a port to the Host header even
if there was already one. Thanks to Sullo for reporting it.
- Francisco Amato recommended two new anti-IDS modes that involve using
0x0d and 0x0b as request separator/spacers. IDS modes 'A' and 'B' were
added, respectively.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] libwhisker 2.4
- Minor code change to utils_delete_lowercase_key(), but it doesn't change
the functionality. Mostly just performance.
- Modifications to Makefile.pl. I have become a big fan of the three
argument open() variant, but that's not backwards compatible with older
perl versions. So I switched everything back to the two argument version.
- More modifications to Makefile.pl, having to do with backwards
compatibility with older perl versions.
- Major overhaul to utils_request_clone(). Basically changed it to fully
copy the source request elements into the destination request, while
deep copying embedded arrays and such. This is different behavior than
previous, where utils_request_clone() would only copy a few specific
values from the source to the destination. After thinking about it for
quite a while, I decided the previous functionality was not very useful
and had shortcomings. The current change in functionality only affects
people who set unique values in the destination request *prior* to
cloning. Under the old functionality, the unique values could be carried
over. Under the new version, they will be clobbered/deleted to match the
source request.
- POD docs for utils_array_shuffle() was wrong; the function takes \@array
as a parameter, not @array.
- Added new option: {whisker}->{save_raw_chunks}. When set to a value of
1, the raw chunked data, including chunk sizes, will be saved to
{whisker}->{data}. Normally libwhisker interprets the chunk sizes and
stitches just the raw data together on your behalf; use this option if
you just want the raw chunked server response.
- Added new option: {whisker}->{hide_chunked_responses}. By default,
when libwhisker gets a chunked response, it will interpret the chunks into
the final output; however, the original 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked'
header is left and the Content-Length header is not set. If you set
the {hide_chunked_responses} option to 1, libwhisker will cleanup the
response so that it resembles a regular non-chunked response...namely,
libwhisker deletes the Transfer-Encoding header and adds an appropriate
Content-Length header. Thus the fact that the server used chunk
encoding is completely normalized out and hidden from the application.
- Changes to _http_do_request_ex() and http_read_body() in order to
account for the above two new options.
- http_construct_headers() incorrectly included empty headers if a
header name was found in {whisker}->{header_order} but was not actually
set.
- http_do_request() wasn't correctly returning the value returned by
http_do_request_ex(), so {whisker}->{invalid_protocol_return_value}
wasn't actually being honored. All fixed now.
- If the server didn't return a Connection header, then http_do_request_ex
looked into the request for a Connection header; when doing so, it
assumed only one header would exist, and it would explicitly be named
'Connection'. This has been changed to use utils_find_lowercase_key()
and to account for the possibility that multiple connection header values
might be defined (in which case, it uses the first one).
- SSL requests silently went through and failed if an SSL library wasn't
available; now stream_new() should return an error.
- Added ssl_is_available() function for an official way to check to see
if SSL is installed. No more relying on $LW_SSL_LIB global variable!
- This is a preemptive notice that $LW_SSL_LIB might be going away, and
that you should no longer use it! Use the new ssl_is_installed() instead.
- Changed how optional modules are loaded. MIME::Base64 and MD5 are only
loaded when you try to use a related function; they are no longer loaded
automatically every time you use LW2. This helps speed up load time, but
the first call to md5() or [encode|decode]_base64() will have a small lag
while the module is initially loaded. If you anticipate needing these
functions and can't tolerate the initial latency of the first call, you
should call them ahead of time with empty/test data in order to force the
module load before it comes time to use them in latency-critical operations.
Note that other libwhisker functions operate in the same manner--the
internal pure-perl MD5, MD4, and DES/NTLM crypto code suffers latency upon
the very first function call because the code has to be compiled before
use.
- The %LW2::AVAILABLE hash has been depreciated, since it was redundant
with Perl's normal global symbol table. You can get the same information
by checking for the module's $VERSION variable.
- A major overhaul was made in the underlying stream/network communication
code. Non-blocking connects() on Windows has been implemented, which
should speed up error conditions and enforce timeouts on Windows platforms.
Sockets are left in non-blocking state for normal TCP connections; they are
put back into blocking more for everything else. Thus the stream code had
to be updated to account for EWOULDBLOCK non-blocking conditions.
- $LW_NONBLOCK_CONNECT is now 1/enabled by default. If you want to turn
off non-blocking connects, set this to 0. If Libwhisker encounters errors
during nonblocking connect operations, it will still degrade to regular
(blocking) connections (with an eval+alarm wrapper).
- While not a change to the code itself, I just want to officially note
that I am no longer testing Libwhisker2 on platforms other than Windows
and Linux. I just don't have the time to account for more OSes. This
has been unofficial for quite a while; every so often, I would do a sanity
check by running Libwhisker2 on various platforms (IRIX, Tru64, Solaris,
etc.) and checking that most things were compatible. I have downsized my
lab and purged those platforms, so I no longer have the ability to test
them. I am still willing to support them, if someone else will run
Libwhisker on them and send me bug reports. :)
- A new $LW2::_SSL_LIBRARY variable was added, for internal purposes only.
Use ssl_is_available(), as I make no guarantees that $_SSL_LIBRARY will
stick around.
- Blocking connects had an error, due to the use of a return in an eval
block. The end result was that failed connect() attempts were being
treated as successful, and then failing later down the line when the
HTTP request write failed. Since the error appeared to happen during
the write, and not during the connect, the default retry value was
kicking in and the process was repeating a second time, making it a double-
whammy. This would only occur on systems where libwhisker downgraded
to a blocking connect, and a connection attempt was made to a closed
or non-existing host/port combo.
- It kind of goes without saying, but I'm going to say it anyways:
functions and variables beginning with '_' (underscore) are internal only
and can be subject to change without notice or backwards compatibility.
In short, you should not be using them; if you feel a certain internal
function/variable is vital to your application and there is no way to
achieve the functionality with other official libwhisker resources, please
email me and we will come up with a way to resolve it.
- The stream code wasn't updating the connect count ("syns"), which was
causing {whisker}->{stats_syns} to always be zero.
- Net::SSLeay SSL sockets are now closed with the SSL_shutdown function,
which is more courteous than just closing the raw TCP connection. This
allows for the SSL close notify alerts to be sent.
- SSL keep-alive support has been added! It is currently only supported
with Net::SSLeay, and is disabled by default. If you wish to enable it,
you need to set $LW::LW_SSL_KEEPALIVE=1. This results in a drastic
performance increase if you are making multiple requests to the same SSL
server, and the server supports keep-alive connections (i.e. HTTP 1.1).
This isn't enabled by default because I haven't been able to thoroughly
test it against a large number of different SSL server implementations.
And obviously keep-alive support only matters if you and the server use the
proper HTTP headers to indicate the connection should be kept alive...
- http_do_request() had a small change in order to make sure ssl_save_info
was always honored with the new SSL keep-alive feature.
- http_do_request[_ex]() had a string case comparision bug in handling
keep-alives when the server didn't respond with an official connection
header. The result was that connections were not kept-alive, even though
they could have been.
- http_do_request[_ex]() used a non-robust method to locate Connection
headers in determining whether or not to close the connection. It's been
changed to use utils_find_lowercase_key(). The close code was also
refactored to take into account some other close situations.
- dump()/_dumpd() was modified to no longer escape NULLs (\x00) as "\0",
since that is a kludge shorthand which can backfire if numbers follow
it.
- dump()/_dump() didn't print out hash entries which had an empty key.
- perltidy was used on all the src/ files. It was about that time...using
multiple different text editors on multiple different platforms has resulted
in a whitespace mess.
- There is now a libwhisker2 test harness! Well, the beginnings of one,
anyways. Essentially this your standard fare of tests to ensure the
library functions are operating as expected, and that no regression errors
creep into the mix. The new test/ directory houses the test harness and
associated files. Included with the test harness is testserver.pl, a
testcase web server which can be used to feed premade HTTP response
testcases or create ad-hoc testcase responses based on URL designations.
- uri_split() didn't set {whisker}->{ssl}=0 when splitting a non-HTTPS URL
into a request hash that previously had SSL enabled.
- Lots of POD documentation clarifications, additions, and updates.
- Modified uri_absolute() to not add the port (":443") into the URL for
HTTPS URLs (because it's redundant).
- Modified uri_normalize() to now preserve any URL parameters and fragments,
so things like "http://server/a/b/../p?foo" will now come out as
"http://server/a/p?foo", while "http://server/a/b/../p?foo=/../" will also
correctly come out as "http://server/a/p?foo=/../" and not "http://server/a/"
- uri_strip_path_parameters() was not correctly returning any trailing
slashes. This was actually caused by Perl's split(), which ignores
trailing elements if no 3rd parameter limit is defined. Supposedly using
a -1 for the limit fixes this in more recent Perls, but I'm not sure how
backwards-compatible this is to older Perls. If split() behaves differently
in this respect, I likely will create a run-time test to determine the
available split behavior and act accordingly.
- uri_parse_parameters() incorrectly took a shortcut and returned an empty
parameter set if there was as single name parameter without a value.
- uri_parse_parameters() had a little bit of refactoring, in order to use
uri_unescape() rather than internally duplicating the same functionality.
- uri_escape() didn't escape the #, /, or \ characters (which have special
meaning to web browsers). I also added the @ and ; characters to the list
to always escape, since they could have special meaning depending on where
they are used (username or password embedded into the URL, path parameter,
etc.). Better safe than sorry (and it doesn't hurt anything to encode
them, other than wasting an extra two bytes per character).
- utils_lowercase_keys() had an improper test to determine if the key
needed lower-casing (it looked for tr/A-Z//c rather than tr/A-Z//).
- utils_find_lowercase_keys() (and utils_find_key()) were modified to
account for times when two unique normal keys result in the same lowercase
name. Previously, libwhisker just returned value(s) associated with the
first key that matches. Now the function gathers all values of all possible
matches, and returns a value/array based on the final super-set.
- utils_getline() and utils_getline_crlf() were modified to use \x0d\x0a
instead of \r\n, in order to be more portable.
- Added 'my' to limit the scope of the $POS internal position variables used
by utils_getline() and utils_getline_crlf().
- _stream_buffer_read() used len() instead of length().
- http_req2line() incorrectly added {uri_user} if {uri_password} was set,
resulting in a string which looked like "user:user" rather than "user:pass"
- Major overhaul to http_fixup_request() to make it more robust, and to
clean out any lingering values which may conflict with having a RFC-
compliant request. http_fixup_request() will now forcibly make the request
HTTP compliant as much as possible.
- Changes to all the various cookie functions, in order to accomodate the
default domain and URL of a cookie and otherwise be RFC 2109 compliant. All
of the information regarding how Libwhisker handles cookies is now available
in the new docs/cookies.txt file. All changes are backwards compatible with
previous 2.4 formats and functionality, with a single exception: cookie
domains in the form of 'http://server.com/' are no longer accepted (they were
never legal, and I'm not sure why I implemented that superfluous parsing to
begin with). Also, the 'expires' cookie value is now always undefined.
- cookie_write() didn't ignore the 'secure' restriction when $override was
true.
- Added cookie_get_names() function, so you can get the names for use with
cookie_get() without having to access the raw $jar structure (which should
be an undefined object that shouldn't be used directly).
- Added cookie_get_valid_names() function, which gives you the list of
cookies which qualify as valid for the specified domain and url.
- Modified cookie_set() to delete the given cookie name if the cookie value
is empty or undefined.
- Added utils_carp() and utils_croak(), which act like the respective
functions in the Carp module (except not quite as configurable/flexible).
- Changed all internal use of die() and warn() to use the new utils_carp()
and utils_croak() functions.
- Added time_mktime(), which is similar to the mktime function in the POSIX
module or the TimeLocal module. Namely it converts a set of values (such
as those returned by localtime/gmtime) back to a single seconds value.
- Added time_gmtolocal() which converts a GMT seconds value to a local
timezone value.
- Tweak the internal _http_get*() functions to not enter an infinite loop
when reading from a partially filled buffer stream.
- The internal _http_getall() function didn't clear stream->{bufin},
which is technically wrong but never caused a problem since _http_getall()
was only used in situations where we read until EOF and then close the
stream (and thus never use {bufin} again).
- http_construct_headers() did not print out all values of a multi-value
header if the header_order explicitly only printed out some (but not all)
of the values; the remaining values were ignored.
- Changed how the max_size parameter of the internal _http_getall()
function is handled. Since it's an internal function, you shouldn't be
using it anyway. :)
- http_read_body() now clears {whisker}->{data} for all code paths, which
it should have been doing but only did some of the time; caused a bug when
the length parameter == 0.
- http_read_body() how shortcuts out if the supplied length parameter is
negative.
- The max_size calculations when handling chunked bodies for
http_read_body() were off, causing all kinds of read problems when a
max_size was specified in the request. Note that when you specify a max_size,
you run the risk of interrupting the chunk processing, which means the
connection has to be closed and you lose any keep-alive advantages.
- Just a quick note that http_read_body() doesn't quite honor {max_size}
if {save_raw_chunks} is enabled. Only the size of the actual data value is
computed against the max_size limit; the extra bytes comprising the chunk
values, as well as any trailing headers, are not calculated against the
max_size value. This might change in the future, but I feel this is an
acceptable caveat for now.
- Change to decode_unicode() in order to get rid of a Perl warning
involving pack().
- http_reset() was modified to forcibly clear the internal http host cache.
- Turns out Net::SSL die()'s during connection attempts if they don't
succeed, and libwhisker wasn't trapping the die(). Basically just wrapped
the connect in an eval{}.
- Sprinkled in some missing binmode()'s to appease the spawn of Gates.
- http_do_request_ex() incorrectly set {whisker}->{http_message} instead
of {message} when dealing with HTTP/0.9 requests.
- There was a call to Net::SSLeay::ctrl() which was causing occasional
errors. The code was introduced way back in Libwhisker 1.5 for SSL
session resuming, and has been carried through since then. It's now
been removed.
- Added the {whisker}->{shortcut_on_404} option, which causes http_do_request
to *NOT* read the response body content and instead return (although all
headers are read and returned like normal; just the body content is skipped).
This can be a useful speed improvement for CGI scanners built on
Libwhisker, since a 404 normally indicates the file isn't found, and there's
no point on reading the body content. (Ultimately it's essentially the
same outcome as a HEAD requestr; but in this case, it's like a HEAD request
for 404's & a GET request for everything else, without having to make two
different requests to get the body content for non-404 responses).
- Sprinkled in some more error checking for Net::SSLeay functions.
Apparently not all functions return the error value; it has to be checked for
separately.
- The Net::SSLeay stream had a bug when used to connect via a proxy,
resulting in a malformed CONNECT request.
- Auth_brute_force() was incorrectly calling auth_set_header() instead of
auth_set().
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] libwhisker 2.3
- utils_find_key() had a bug which caused lowercase comparisions (which
is fine for utils_find_lowercase_key(), but not utils_find_key())
- http_req2line() didn't take SSL into account when {include_host_in_uri}
was set
- David Maciejak pointed out that there was no way to use {whisker}->
{bind_socket} to bind a specific address but not a port (i.e. you were
always required to specify a port). So I added the '*' option to
{whisker}->{bind_port}, which will attempt to find a valid port to bind
to.
- The default behavior of {whisker}->{bind_socket} has been changed to use
'*' as the value of {whisker}->{bind_port} if {bind_port} is not explicitly
set. The prior behavior was to use port 14011 if {bind_port} was not set.
- Added some error checking on the {whisker}->{bind_socket} values in
_stream_socket_alloc().
- Added a new buffer stream type. Basically, if you define {whisker}->
{buffer_stream}, you get a stream which acts much like an echo server.
First it starts out empty. Then, whatever you write to it, is turned
around and available when you read from it. This functionality is only
useful for those using the low-level stream abstractions in situations
where you want to stuff dynamic data into a stream and then pass it to a
function which reads from the stream.
- Changed the stream key generation order around a bit. Prior to this
version, SSL streams trumped file streams...which is incorrect. The
new order of priority is: buffer, file, SSL, UDP, TCP.
- Added http_resp2line() function, which is the compliment to
http_req2line().
- Added utils_flatten_lwhash() function, which takes a %request or
%response hash and recreates the approximate HTTP request/response text.
- The {whisker}->{data_sock} option turned out to not be exactly ideal,
since the stream wrapper might have buffered some of the socket data. So
now when you set {whisker}->{data_sock}, you get {whisker}->{data_sock}
(the old, not recommended way) and a newer {whisker}->{data_stream} response
item. This is only for people who don't want libwhisker to read the body
of an HTTP response, and would rather have direct access to the
stream/socket to read it themselves.
- Antonio "s4tan" Parata pointed out that uri_get_dir() returned the
original URI when the URI didn't have a directory (i.e. "index.html"). This
is obviously incorrect, as "index.html" would not be the directory. For the
cases where no '/' is found in the URI, the return value will now be an empty
string.
- Uber at hush.com pointed out a bug in crawl() when {use_params} is enabled.
Essentially a shortcut was taken prematurely, before the use_params
processing occurred.
- Dave King found a bug in _stream_is_valid(), due to my incorrect use of
'last' in a 'do/while' block (which is NOT an actual loop!).
- Uber at hush.com found that http_fixup_request() was setting
Content-Encoding, rather than Content-Type, on POST requests. I'm amazed
and embarrassed that I never noticed this before, especially by the fact that
many servers still accept the bunk Content-Encoding and lack of Content-Type
as valid.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] libwhisker 2.2
- Sullo pointed out that the api_demo.pl script uses save_ssl_info, rather
than ssl_save_info. As it turns out, api_demo.pl was horribly out of date.
It's been given an overhaul using the new libwhisker 2.x programming
semantics.
- Sullo also pointed out that ssl_save_info wasn't working. This was
because _http_do_request_ex() was erasing the ssl data previously set by
http_do_request().
- Added 'use_referrers' crawl() config option, which is enabled by default.
This causes the crawler to send appropriate HTTP referrers for all crawled
links.
- Changed some internals of crawl() to keep the url_queue inside the
crawl object, which makes it accessible to the source callback function.
- Added 'install_lw1' option to Makefile to automatically install the LW(1)
compatibility bridge file (which emulates Libwhisker 1.x, letting Libwhisker
version 1.x programs use the Libwhisker 2.x library transparently).
- Added cookie_new_jar() function, to handling creating new jars (which are
still hashes at this point, but you should still use the function).
- More documentation updates.
- http_fixup_request() now forces the correct POST data length, and does some
extra checks to make sure leftover POST headers from previous requests are
dealt with.
- Added utils_delete_lowercase_key() function for deleting hash keys without
worrying about the capitalization.
- Small change to http_read_headers() to reset the match position pointer.
- sgt_b made me realize the need for a utils_find_key() function, which is
similar to utils_find_lowercase_key() but is case-sensitive. Sure, a quick
hash lookup would find the key too, but utils_find_key() has the added bonus
of dereferencing anonymous arrays of multiple header values, if encountered.
- Dave King's query on handling form data returned from forms_read() led me
to creating a forms_walkthrough.txt document and the form_demo.pl scripts.
- Found a bug in the _forms_parse_callback() (used internally by forms_read())
which caused it to mishandle textareas. The html_find_tags() function
already does the work of finding the closing tag, so
_forms_parse_callback() doesn't need to do it. The HTML parser must do it
this way, since tags within a are not to be parsed.
- Bug in uri_parse_parameters(), which took a shortcut exit if a '&'
wasn't found. The shortcut should actually be triggered on a '='.
- Bug in html_find_tags() which caused non-value attributes to be saved
with a empty string value. Now non-value attributes are saved with an
undef value.
- For some reason an extra empty element was being introduced into
hash during forms_write(). I've traced it and can't figure out where
it's coming from. In the meantime, I've added a check to make sure
any empty elements don't show up in the output.
- Mathieu Dessus pointed out a bug where the older anti_ids() function was
still being called, rather than the renamed encode_anti_ids(). You still
use {whisker}->{anti_ids} to set the values though...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] libwhisker 2.1
- Sullo pointed out that $LW_HAS_SSL has disappeared. Forgot to document
that. Use $LW_SSL_LIB instead.
- Changed a (len!=0) to (len>0) check in the chunk decoder, to be more
robust.
- added html_link_extractor() function, which uses code already present in
the crawl module.
- The regex was a bit broken in encode_uri_randomhex(). Pointed out by
John McDonald.
- John also found a typo in encode_anti_ids(), causing it to call the
non-existant function encode_randomase().
- New Makefile.pl build environment.
- Bug in forms_read() and _forms_callback() which prevented the proper
storage of multiple forms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] libwhisker 2.0
- Libwhisker 2.0 is officially dubbed LW2. Below are the incompatible
changes from libwhisker 1.x. There were lots of general changes, but
only the non-backwards-compatible ones are documented.
- Following were renamed:
{whisker}->{req_spacer*} => {whisker}->{http_space*}
{whisker}->{http_ver} => {whisker}->{version}
{whisker}->{http_protocol} => {whisker]->{protocol}
{whisker}->{uri_param} => {whisker}->{parameters}
{whisker}->{recv_header_order} => {whisker}->{header_order}
{whisker}->{http_resp_message} => {whisker}->{message}
{whisker}->{INITIAL_MAGIC} => {whisker}->{MAGIC}
{whisker}->{sockstate} => {whisker}->{socket_state}
utils_lowercase_(hashkeys|headers) => utils_lowercase_keys
utils_split_uri => uri_split
utils_join_uri => uri_join
utils_normalize_uri => uri_normalize
utils_absolute_uri => uri_absolute
utils_get_dir => uri_get_dir
utils_unidecode_uri => decode_unicode
anti_ids => encode_anti_ids
bruteurl => utils_bruteurl
auth_set_header => auth_set
encode_str2uri => encode_uri_hex
encode_str2ruri => encode_uri_randomhex
dumper => dump
dumper_writefile => dump_writefile
- Following are now depreciated (along with their functionality):
{whisker}->{method_postfix}
{whisker}->{http_req_trailer}
{whisker}->{queue_md5} (use {request_fingerprint})
{whisker}->{http_resp} (use {code})
{whisker}->{retry_errors}
{whisker}->{ids_session_splice}
do_auth (use auth_set)
upload_file
download_file (use get_page_to_file)
md5_perl (use md5)
md4_perl (use md4)
(en|de)code_base64_perl (use (en|de)code_base64)
crawl_get_config
crawl_set_config
- {whisker}->{parameters} will not be included if it's an empty string
- {whisker}->{normalize_incoming_headers} now changes AA-Bb-cc-dD to
Aa-Bb-Cc-Dd, instead of the prior AA-Bb-Cc-DD.
- Invalid HTTP response error message does not include invalid response
(but it's still in {whisker}->{data})
- IDS session splicing is depreciated. Most IDSes do stream reassembly
anyways, so this is not a big loss. The depreciation is due to
limitations of the current stream implementation. It will reappear in
future versions.
- cookie_* now operates independantly of the actual set-cookie header.
http_do_request now has internal magic, so that all cookies are saved
and processed regardless of header capitalization, normalization,
and duplication (including the default ignore_duplicate_headers).
- Lots of the global variables were changed/renamed or removed. See
globals.pl for details.
- Crawl was completely rebuilt to be more object-ish (the use of so
many global variables made it hard to have multiple crawl sessions
going at once). If you were using crawl(), then you will need to
review the new way of calling crawl() and accessing related data.
All the crawl data structures (and locations) were changed, as were
the format for configuring the crawler and callbacks.
- Dumper() returns undef on error, instead of the string 'ERROR'.
- html_find_tags() takes a few more optional parameters. Using
a tag map can lead to speed increases by reducing the amount of
times the callback function is actually called.
- The libwhisker 1.x series did not properly generate forms structures
(via forms_read()). It was corrected, but the generated structure, while
now accurate per documention, is not backwards-compatible.
- Authorization is now handled via auth_set(), and not merely by the
presence of the Authorization header. Also, the internal
{whisker}->{ntlm_*} keys relating to NTLM authentication have been deleted.
You shouldn't have been using them anyway. :)
- Socket timeout values are read from {whisker}->{timeout}, and are
saved per stream. The global $TIMEOUT variable no longer exists.
- HTML rewriting via html_find_tags() is now done by calling
html_find_tags_rewrite() within our callback function. The return value
of the callback is ignored (and thus not required, unlike LW1.x).
- auth_set() will now call http_reset() whenever any NTLM-based authentication
is used. This is because NTLM is a connection-based authentication, and
thus all connections need to start from scratch when NTLM is enabled.
- The ETag header is now normalized to ETag, and not Etag.
- All new POD documentation, which follows the more standard format for use with pod2man.
- utils_find_lowercase_keys() will now dereference multi-value entries and
return a full array if it is called in array context.
- A bug in Crypt::SSLeay (Net::SSL) 0.51 (and probably prior) causes it to
puke when it is used in proxy mode. Hopefully it will be fixed in future
versions.
- Turns out the Net::SSLeay implementation of MD5 was returning bad hashes
(it truncated them at the first NULL byte). Use of Net::SSLeay::md5 has
been discontinued permanently.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This file is for maintainers of a software distribution which would like
to include Libwhisker. I thought I'd document a few things in order to
make your life easier.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If there are any changes which would make your life as an distribution
package maintainer easier, feel free to let me know. I will try to
accomodate as best I can. I appreciate your time and effort in helping
distribute libwhisker2, so I would like to make the process as painless
as possible for you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, here's a brief recommended description of Libwhisker for use. If
it's too long, then just use the first two sentences.
Libwhisker is a Perl library useful for HTTP testing scripts. It
contains a pure-Perl implementation of functionality found in the LWP,
URI, Digest::MD5, Digest::MD4, Data::Dumper, Authen::NTLM, HTML::Parser,
HTML::FormParser, CGI::Upload, MIME::Base64, and GetOpt::Std modules.
Libwhisker is designed to be portable (a single perl file), fast (general
benchmarks show libwhisker is faster than LWP), and flexible (great care
was taken to ensure the library does exactly what you want to do, even
if it means breaking the protocol).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You need to make sure the LW2.pm is installed in the system perl module
directory. I very, very, *very* STRONGLY suggest that you depreciate any
Libwhisker 1.x packages and instead install the LW.pm included in the
Libwhisker 2.x compat/ directory (this can be done with the 'install_lw1'
Makefile.pl command). The compatible-LW.pm provides the normal Libwhisker
1.x functionality using the Libwhisker 2.x library. This allows both
Libwhisker 1.x and 2.x support to be contained in a single Libwhisker
package (preferred).
Documentation for LW2 is embedded inside the final LW2.pm (unless you build
with the 'nopod' option). You should use pod2man and store the resulting
output amongst the local collection of Perl module manpages. The
Makefile.pl will automatically install the POD page (assuming you haven't
used the 'nopod' option) when you run the 'install' command.
The files in docs/ and scripts/ are for programming references, and as
such, should not be installed with a normal package. If you truly do want
to include supporting files, then I recommend only the following:
docs/crawler.txt
docs/whisker_hash.txt
docs/logo-builton.gif
docs/logo-name.gif
docs/logo-plain.gif
scripts/api_demo.pl
scripts/crawl_demo.pl
scripts/simple_demo.pl

libwhisker2-perl-2.5/KNOWNBUGS 0000664 0000000 0000000 00000006664 11334103314 0016052 0 ustar 00root root 0000000 0000000 Known broken stuff as of v2.4:
- HTML parser still screws up on a few corner test cases (particular types
of invalid HTML). Fortunately these are relatively abnormal and rare.
- XML parser is no where near functional.
- Net::SSL (Crypt::SSLeay) has a bug in version 0.51, when used in proxy mode.
I included a patch in the compat/ directory which temporarily fixes the bug,
but it has the side effect of disabling LWP HTTPS support. Precompiled
binary users are out of luck until an updated version is available, and I'm
not so sure this is really ever going to be fixed.
- Proxy-auth does not work with Net::SSL; the auth data needs to be set
using %ENV instead of the Proxy-Authenticate header which Libwhisker normally
sends. Not sure if this will ever be fixed, as it would require significant
architecture changes to accomodate. Use Net::SSLeay instead.
- NTLM proxy-auth is not supported for SSL connections.
- The combination of Paros HTTP proxy, Net::SSLeay, and SSL connections does
not currently work. Paros only returns a "Error: 1" message, so I'm not even
sure where to begin on figuring out what's going wrong. Net::SSL works just
fine (well, assuming you applied the patch referred to above).
Caveats as of v2.4:
- Cookie support does not yet account for expiration via Expires value.
- Various perl warnings when running under -w. If you send me a copy of
the warnings (warning and line number reported), I can fix them. Since
warnings are generated at runtime, it's hard to traverse every possible
code path and find the warnings.
- LW2::dump() sometimes messes up on the visual layout of the resulting
code...however, this does not affect the final representation/eval'ing, so
it's merely cosmetic.
- The internal session cache can grow quite big if you scan thousands of
hosts in a row without calling LW2::http_reset() or exiting. In order to
clear out any left over session information (when you're all done with a
host), be sure to call LW2::http_reset() every once in a while.
- Careful on trying to unset/remove various {whisker} request values.
If it's not defined by default, then you should delete the key, rather
than setting it to 0, since some libwhisker functions only check to see
if a key is defined (it doesn't actually look at the value).
- The SSL libraries do not allow persistant connections, so all connections
will be closed at the end.
- NTLM web auth through an NTLM auth'd proxy is a toss-up, largely because
I'm not sure what's the most appropriate route to go. Libwhisker's
implementation is how it *should* work IMHO, but I couldn't get it to actually
work through MS ISA proxy (although, I couldn't get IE to work correctly
through MS ISA proxy with double-NTLM auth either, so that leaves me to
suspect MS has issues somewhere...). The general problem is that ISA proxy
doesn't seem to keep-alive the connection between the proxy and web server,
so persistent requests from the client will have to re-auth to the web
server. Technically, since everything is kept-alive, once all the NTLM
rigmarole for both proxy and web server are done, I should be able to just
fire requests off like normal (e.g. no auth) until the connection is closed.
So, in short, Microsoft screwed up their own implementation of double-NTLM
auth in ISA Server, and I don't really have another NTLM-capable proxy to test
with to ensure LW2 is perfectly implemented...but it should be. :)

Libwhisker official release v2.4
-------------------------------------------------------------------
What is Libwhisker:
Libwhisker is a Perl module geared specificly for HTTP testing.
Libwhisker has a few design principles:
- Portable: runs with 0 changes on Unix, Windows, etc (100% Perl)
- Flexible: designed with a 'no rules' approach
- Contained: designed to not require external modules when possible
- Localized: does not require installation to use
-------------------------------------------------------------------
README README README README README README README README README
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"How do I run/use Libwhisker?"
Libwhisker is not a program to run. It's a library for people to
make programs with. There is nothing to 'run' in Libwhisker. If
you're looking for a CGI scanner (whisker), you're in the wrong
place. Whisker is separate from Libwhisker.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Information on Libwhisker library
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Libwhisker's 'no rules' approach:
Since the intent of this library is to use it in testing, fuzzing,
and quality assurance situations, odds are the library will need to
be capable of handling protocol malformities and other wackiness.
Many existing Perl libraries are not flexible when you try to break
the protocol--they assume you want to make a legitimate request.
Libwhisker, on the other hand, is designed to not impose any rules
on the software, thus allowing it to do whatever you really want it
to do, including stuff not normally considered 'legal' or 'sane'
by RFC/protocol definition.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
What Libwhisker can do for you:
Do you have a demonstration program, application, or exploit that
interacts over HTTP? Well, using Libwhisker means your program:
- Can communicate over HTTP 0.9, 1.0, and 1.1
- Can use persistant connections (keep-alives)
- Has proxy support
- Has anti-IDS support
- Has SSL support
- Can receive chunked encoding
- Has nonblock/timeout support built in (platform-dependant...)
- Has basic and NTLM authentication support (both server and proxy)
That way you don't have to code it all yourself--use Libwhisker
and all those features are transparently available automatically.
So call now, operators are standing by.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why not use other perl modules?
Libwhisker actually combines the functionality LWP, URI, HTML::Parser,
MIME::Base64, and a handful of other modules into a single file that is
approximately 105k (when POD is stripped).
One of the annoyances of LWP et. al. is that they require local system
installation before they can be used--and that installation sometimes
requires compilation of C code files. This can be a problem if you have a
system that lacks a compiler (commercial unix platforms, Windows, etc),
and it also makes portability very difficult. Libwhisker is 100% native
Perl, so no additional compilers are necessary. It's one single 105k text
file (i.e. very portable), which doesn't have to actually be
installed--just put it in the same directory as your perl script and go!
And since Libwhisker doesn't require external modules to work**, that means
you should be good to go with a perl binary, the LW2.pm file, and your perl
script--nothing else needed! Great for those 'security audit' situations
where installing an entire perl distribution on a target system is out of
the question...
Of course, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't use LWP. Just keep in
mind that LWP (and other modules, in general) were written to follow
proper RFC protocols. This is fine and dandy; but if you're writing
exploits, sometimes you need to purposefully break some aspect of the
protocol, and typically the published Perl modules don't provide the
capabilities to do this.
And lastly, Libwhisker has been benchmarked against LWP--and it's been
found to be almost three times as fast.
** you do need a local Socket.pm for your system to use any of the network
functionality; however, if you don't have Socket support, you can still
use the Libwhisker utility/parsing functions without problem.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Note to Libwhisker 1.x users:
Libwhisker 2.0 is *not* backwards-compatible with Libwhisker 1.x. A few
things were moved around and renamed. Changing 'use LW' to 'use LW2' in
your programs is not enough--you may need to make code changes to your
program. See the 'CHANGES' file.
However, there is now a 'bridge' LW.pm module in the compat/ directory,
which will use LW2 (libwhisker 2.x) functions to emulate the LW
(libwhisker 1.x) functionality. This should allow programs written to
use LW (libwhisker 1.x) to use LW2 (libwhisker 2.x) without any changes.
You can have the compatibility bridge automatically installed by using
the 'install_lw1' Makefile.pl command.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
How to use Libwhisker:
Use the included api_demo.pl script to see how to make a basic request
using the library. Otherwise, there is embedded POD documentation
for most of the functions within LW2.pm.
You should be able to use the LW2.pm by including it in the
same directory as the script that requires it. Otherwise run
"perl Makefile.pl install" to install it into your local perl
module site directory.
To use SSL support, you will need Net::SSLeay or Crypt::SSLeay, as
well as OpenSSL installed. Libwhisker will still work without any
of them, you just won't have any SSL support. And technically
Libwhisker will still work without Socket support, but it's very
limited then. Crypt::SSLeay (also known as Net::SSL) is available
precompiled for the Windows ActiveState package; Unix platforms
should use Net::SSLeay, which has many more features than Net::SSL.

Tested platforms:
Libwhisker has been successfully ran on:
- Linux, using perl 5.004 and higher
- ActiveState Perl for Windows, based on perl 5.6.x and 5.005
- Sun Solaris, perl 5.004 and higher
- SGI IRIX, perl 5.004 and higher
Libwhisker does *not* run with perl 5.003 and earlier. There were
too many bugs in 5.003 which would require too many workarounds to
accomodate while still maintaining minimal code size and speed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why does libwhisker exist when there's already LWP?
LWP is a great package, but thre are still many areas within it that it
expects/forces you to follow the HTTP protocol. It imposes restrictions
on what you can do, and this can be problematic if you are trying to
create vulnerability exploit proof of concepts or HTTP fuzzers...two
types of applications which traditionally *break* the protocol on
purpose. Libwhisker was designed to give the application as much freedom
as possible to do what they want, even if that means breaking the HTTP
protocol to the point of not working. This is libwhisker's "no rules"
approach.
What SSL libraries do you support?
Net::SSLeay and Net::SSL (a component of the Crypt::SSLeay package).
Which is the preferred SSL library?
Net::SSLeay is the preferred library, but there are still issues with
both Net::SSL/Crypt::SSLeay and Net::SSLeay. See the KNOWNBUGS file.
SSL keep-alive support is only currently available with Net::SSLeay.
How come you don't support IO::Socket::SSL for SSL support?
IO::Socket:SSL, in its current state, uses Net::SSLeay under the hood.
So if IO::Socket::SSL is installed, so will be Net::SSLeay. Thus we
skip the overhead of dealing with IO::Socket::SSL and just go directly
to Net::SSLeay.
How can I speed up my SSL connections?
If you're using Net::SSLeay, you can set $LW2::LW_SSL_KEEPALIVE=1 in
order to enable HTTP keep-alives and connection reuse of SSL connections.
If you are operating in a trusted environment, you can also set the
{whisker}->{ssl_ciphers} value to a list of weak yet fast(er) ciphers.
However, in doing so, you are compromising the security and integrity
of the SSL connection. An example cipher list value of some of the
faster (and insecure) ciphers would be:
"NULL:RC4-MD5:RC2-MD5:IDEA-CBC-MD5:RC4-SHA:EXPORT:!DES:!3DES"
This list starts off with the no-encryption 'NULL' ciphers, then goes
through MD5 (which is faster than SHA) variants, falls back to a SHA
variant, and uses any exportable cipher as a worst case scenario while
completely disallowing DES and 3DES (which are horribly slow).
Why does libwhisker contain replacements for modules which are a part of
the core perl suite?
The primary reason is my original goal of using libwhisker on systems
which did not have a full perl distribution installed; rather, you can
copy over just the perl executable and immediately required modules and
ran everything out of the current directory. This was meant to support
pen-testers and other folks who may have access to a system, but the
system doesn't contain perl and they do not have sufficient privileges
to install perl. The secondary reason has to do with the variances of
what is considered to be the core perl distribution across all the
different OS versions of the past 10+ years. Just because a module is
considered a part of the perl core distribution in 5.8.0 doesn't mean
it existed in 5.004. I've tried to always maintain compatibility with
older versions of perl. The last time I tested, libwhisker functioned
without errors on 5.004. Unfortunately, where were too many bugs and
caveats in 5.003 to make it easy to support.
Are your pure-perl implementations of MD4, MD5, and DES/NTLM slow?
'Slow' is a relative term. Libwhisker's various pure-perl
implementations are slow compared to their locally compiled binary
counterparts; however, that's to be expected, and that's also why
libwhisker attempts to use the external module versions before
resorting to its internal pure-perl version as a worst case scenario.
That said, my benchmarks have shown that libwhisker's pure-perl
implementations are faster than other pure-perl implemenations found
in CPAN. I've spent considerably amount of time hand-optimizing the
code in libwhisker to perform as fast as possible; libwhisker also
generates and compiles all the code at runtime in order to optimize
out all loops and function calls, which makes a significant reduction
in overhead. Sure, the code is not clean and doesn't follow quaint
programming style practices, but it works as expected and really
should never have to be revisited. And quite frankly, that's kind of
the norm when it comes to optimized crypto algorithms.

------------------------------------------------------
This document serves to convey how Libwhisker treats the receiving, handling,
and creation of HTTP cookies.
First a brief bit of history. The original cookie proposal was made by
Netscape. Their proposed cookie implementation is often dubbed "version 0".
It provides a very simple cookie handling mechanism that practically all
servers, browser, and proxies support. Then came along RFC 2109, which
created version 1 cookies while still being backwards-compatible with
version 0. The particular additions of RFC 2109 were the addition of extra
attributes and the manner in which the Cookie header is returned to the server.
Next came RFC 2965, which still uses version 1 cookies but now allows a
server to send a Set-Cookie2 header. A few additional attributes were defined.
RFC 2965 is still backwards-compatible with RFC 2109, which means it's still
backwards-compatible with version 0 cookies (somewhat).
In order to be the most widely compatible, Libwhisker mostly uses a version 0
approach to cookie handling. However, Libwhisker does make some attempts
to parse certain version 1 attributes in offer more granular cookie support.
Libwhisker also uses some of the later RFC suggestions on how to handle
corner-cases.
So, here's a laundry list of Libwhisker's exact cookie handling functionality:
- Cookies are received from a Set-Cookie or Set-Cookie2 response header
(libwhisker does not internally distinguish between the two)
- Set-Cookie[2] headers with multiple cookie values separated by commas are
NOT supported; only the first cookie will be extracted/parsed
- Cookies are created in a version 0 format, using the Cookie request
header, and having one or more non-quoted name=value pairs separated by
semicolons; the format specified in RFCs 2109 and 2965 is not used
- Libwhisker understands and acts upon the Domain, Path, Max-Age, and Secure
cookie attributes
- Libwhisker accepts and parses cookie attribue values which use surrounding
quotes (e.g. 'foo="bar"')
- Non-processed cookie attributes are permanently discarded and not available
through the Libwhisker $jar or the cookie processing functions; if you wish
to analyze all the cookie attributes (including those ignored by Libwhisker),
then you will have to manually process the cookie values
- Only a Max-Age attribute value of 0 (zero) is interpreted, which results in the
cookie being immediately deleted; additional handling of the Max-Age attribute
is not implemented
- There is no Cookie expires/timeout handling done at any point, except the
immediate deletion of a cookie if Max-Age=0
- Contrary to the RFCs, Libwhisker allows cookie names to start with a '$'
character, to allow for additional flexibility in testing; normally this is
not allowed, as names beginning with '$' acquired special meaning as of RFC
2109
- While Libwhisker does not specifically disallow any characters in cookie
names or values, use of the characters '=', ';', and '"' can cause unexpected
processing anomalies or silent application failures
- Empty cookie names are not allowed, and the parsing will abort if one is seen
- If a cookie doesn't specify a domain attribute, then the default host name
is used; if the default hostname doesn't have a leading dot, then strict hostname
matching only (no partial/sub domain matches) is performed; otherwise partial/sub
domain matching is performed; IP addresses always use strict hostname matching
only
- If a cookie specifies an empty-string for the domain attribute, then it is
treated like it didn't specify a domain attribute
- Non-name values are terminated at the first whitespace, comma, or semicolon
character encountered, or the end of the string; any remaining data between
the point of termination and the next semicolon is discarded (e.g. the string
"foo=bar baz;" will result in 'foo' with a value of 'bar')
- If the cookie doesn't specify a domain attribute, and a default host name
is not explicitly provided by the parent application, then the cookie will match
all domain names (and the domain name value will be undefined)
- If a cookie specfies a domain attribute, but the domain attribute doesn't
include a leading dot, then the RFC 2965 rule of adding a leading dot is used
- Multi-level domain matches are not allowed, so ".foo.com" will match on
"a.foo.com", but not "a.b.foo.com"; in order for "a.b.foo.com" to match,
there needs to be a domain definition for ".b.foo.com"
- If a cookie doesn't specify a path attribute, then a default value of '/'
is used
- If a cookie specifies a path attribute but it is not absolute (doesn't start
with '/'), then the default value of '/' is used instead
- Per RFC 2965, successive duplicate attribute values are ignored (so a
cookie with "foo=A; foo=B; foo=C" will result in a 'foo' value of 'A')

Crawl data structures
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
%$CRAWL->{config}
- configuration values (see below); key=config key, value=value of key
&$CRAWL->{crawl}
- subfunction which just calls LW2::crawl($CRAWL)
&$CRAWL->{reset}
- subfunction which resets all the values in $CRAWL
%$CRAWL->{track}
- All the URLs seen/requested; key=url, value=HTTP response code, or '?' if
not actually requested
%$CRAWL->{request}
- Libwhisker request hash used during crawling
%$CRAWL->{response}
- Libwhisker response hash used during crawling
$CRAWL->{depth}
- Default max depth set by crawl_new()
$CRAWL->{start}
- Default start URL set by crawl_new()
@$CRAWL->{errors}
- All encountered errors during crawl'ing
@$CRAWL->{urls}
- Temporary array used internally by crawl()
%$CRAWL->{server_tags}
- Server banners encountered while crawling; key=banner, value=# times seen
%$CRAWL->{referrers}
- Keeps track of who refers to what URL; key=target URL, value=anon array
of all URLs that point to it
%$CRAWL->{offsites}
- All URLs that point to other hosts; key=URL, value=# times seen
%$CRAWL->{non_http}
- All non-http/https URLs found; key=URL, value=# times seen
%$CRAWL->{cookies}
- All cookies encountered during crawling; key=cookie string, value=# times
seen
%$CRAWL->{forms}
- URLs which were the target of

The tricky thing here is that all the elements are named "bar". How
this is actually interpreted/handled is browser dependant; however,
Libwhisker handles it by creating a single hash key "bar" and putting
all the elements in the anonymous array, like so:
$FORM = (
"\0" => ..., # data for
