About This Tool

Supporting material for WebSockets security presentations.

Primary Use Case

This tool is designed for security professionals and educators to demonstrate and analyze WebSocket protocol security issues through presentations and practical code examples. It is useful for those conducting WebSocket security training or developing custom network monitoring scripts.

Key Features

Proof-of-concept Scapy module for WebSocket protocol dissection
Educational content supporting WebSocket security presentations
Code samples for network packet analysis
Links to detailed presentation slides on WebSocket security
Focus on HTTP handshake parsing and WebSocket frame handling improvements

Insights & Recommendations

This tool is primarily educational and proof-of-concept; it lacks full HTTP handshake parsing and robust error handling. Users should have Scapy installed and be familiar with Python scripting for effective use.

Installation

Download and install Scapy from http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/
Clone or download the WebSocketNotes repository
Use the scapy/WebSockets.py module within a Python environment with Scapy installed

Usage

Import and use scapy/WebSockets.py within Scapy

Dissects WebSocket protocol packets for analysis and demonstration

Smart Usage Notes

Integrate the Scapy WebSocket dissector into custom network monitoring tools to enhance visibility of WebSocket traffic anomalies.Use the educational materials to build targeted WebSocket security training modules for developers and security teams.Leverage the proof-of-concept scripts to simulate WebSocket-based attacks during red team exercises for realistic adversary emulation.Incorporate WebSocketNotes into purple team exercises to improve collaboration between offensive and defensive teams on WebSocket protocol security.Extend the tool to generate synthetic WebSocket traffic for continuous security validation in CI/CD pipelines focusing on WebSocket-enabled applications.
