While HTTP is defined in RFC2616 (HTTP/1.1) the specification does not address | ||
every tiny detail. This makes browsers behave similar for the usual HTTP | ||
traffic, but they differ in behavior regarding unusual or invalid traffic. | ||
|
||
The same interpretation problems can be seen in security systems, e.g. | ||
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), proxies or firewalls. Thus differences in the | ||
interpretation of HTTP leave enough room for circumventing these security | ||
systems. | ||
|
||
This module contains predefined tests to generate dubious HTTP responses. | ||
The distribution contains also a script C<dubious_http.pl> which can be used | ||
as an HTTP server to serve these dubious HTTP responses. It can alternativly be | ||
used to generate pcap-Files containg the dubious HTTP traffic, which instead of | ||
life traffic can be fed for analysis into IDS systems. | ||
