WebCrab

This tool collects HTTP responses for use by the DShield honeypot. You will first create a JSON file describing the requests. A small sample file is included. The following elements are required for each request:

• scheme: The scheme (http or https)
• host: The host name to connect to
• url: The URL to request (without hostname)
• method: One of the HTTP verbs (GET/POST...)
• comment: Describe the request so we know what it attempts to emulate

Optional parameters:

• headers: a dictionary with one or more headers.
• body: the body of the request
• port: the port number, if a port other than the default port is being used

To use "WebCrab", pass two parameters:

• request file: the JSON file you created with request data
• response file: this is the file name used to save the responses. The current timestamp will be appended to avoid overwriting prior files.

Example:

./webcrab.py requests.json responses.json
