Proxenet - Hacker Friendly Proxy for Web Application Penetration Tests

Proxenet is a hacker friendly proxy for web application penetration tests.

proxenet is a multi-threaded proxy which allows you manipulate your HTTP requests and responses using your favorite scripting language. No need to learn Java (like for Burp) or Python (like for mitmproxy). proxenetsupports heaps of languages (see the section "Language Versions") and more can be easily added.

proxenet is not script kiddie friendly, neither GUI friendly. If this is what you are looking for, here are a few links for you:

• ZAP
• Burp
• ProxyStrike

Or the best way, write your own GUI as a proxenet plugin!

Why ?

The idea behind proxenet came after a lot of frustration from attempting to write extensions for Burp. Moreover, only a few proxies already existing supports the possibility to add new extensions. And when they do, they are (one) language specific - despite Burp persistent attempts to make unnatural bindings (Python over Java or worse Ruby over Java.

Being written in pure C, it is fast, efficient and easily pluggable to anything else. It is the utimate real DIY web proxy for pentest(ers).

Here are a sample of features already supported by proxenet:

... and more !

The best of both world ?
