hoerzu - a small eavesdropping TCP proxy

hoerzu is a TCP relay/proxy between a remote server and clients. There are two kinds of clients:

1. Bidirectional: Clients doing two-way communication with the remote server over the hoerzu proxy.
2. Eavesdropping: Clients listening to the data comming from the remote server. Traffic from the bidirectional clients is not recorded.

Each connected bidirectional client starts a session. A session has exactly one bidirectional client. Eavesdropping clients can connect or disconnect to or from a session to follow the traffic send from the remote server to the bidirectional client. A session is killed when the connection to the bidirectional is cut or the remote server cuts the connection to the hoerzu server.

Build

You need a working Go build environment (Tested successfully with Go 1.9+).

go get -u -v bitbucket.org/intevation/hoerzu/cmd/hoerzu

Place the resulting hoerzu binary into your PATH.

Usage

To see all options use the -h/--help flag:

NAME:
   hoerzu - A simple eavesdropping TCP proxy server.

USAGE:
   hoerzu [global options] command [command options] [arguments...]

VERSION:
   0.1

COMMANDS:
     help, h  Shows a list of commands or help for one command

GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   --remote HOST          remote HOST to connect to (default: "localhost")
   --remote-port PORT     remote PORT to connect to (default: 8080)
   --listen HOST          listen HOST (default: "localhost")
   --listen-port PORT     listen PORT (default: 8899)
   --eavesdrop HOST       eavesdrop HOST (default: "localhost")
   --eavesdrop-port PORT  eavesdrop PORT (default: 8889)
   --timeout DURATION     DURATION before disconnecting a stale client. 0s: no timeout (default: 0s)
   --log-level LEVEL      Log LEVEL: debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic (default: "info")
   --log-file FILE        write log in FILE
   --load FILE            load configuration from FILE
   --help, -h             show help
   --version, -v          print the version

The options can be stored in a TOML file and used with the --load flag.
See example.toml for an example.

Functions

func Dial

func Dial(addr string, port int) (net.Conn, error)

Dial establish a connection to a TCP server given by address addr and port port.

func LogFile

func LogFile(file string)

LogFile directs logging from this package to the given file. An empty string redirects the logging to os.Stderr.

func LogLevel

func LogLevel(lvl string)

LogLevel set the package log level.

func StartServer

func StartServer(addr string, port int, handler func(net.Conn)) (net.Listener, error)

StartServer starts an TCP server on a given address addr and port port. Accepted connections are forward to a given handler handler.

Types

type Proxy

type Proxy struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Proxy manages the life-cycle of the listening servers of the system and spawns new sessions if new bi-directional clients connect to it.

func NewProxy

func NewProxy(options ...ProxyOption) *Proxy

NewProxy create a new proxy configured with options options.

func (*Proxy) ListenAndServe

func (p *Proxy) ListenAndServe() error

ListenAndServe starts the configured proxy p. This method blocks until p is stopped by calling shutdown.

func (*Proxy) Shutdown

func (p *Proxy) Shutdown()

Shutdown terminates the proxy p.

type ProxyOption

type ProxyOption func(*Proxy)

ProxyOption are an encapsulation of configuration options appliable to the proxy.

func ProxyEavesdropAddr

func ProxyEavesdropAddr(addr string) ProxyOption

ProxyEavesdropAddr configures the address the eavesdroppers can connect to.

func ProxyEavesdropPort

func ProxyEavesdropPort(port int) ProxyOption

ProxyEavesdropPort configures the port of eavesdroppers can connect to.

func ProxyListenAddr

func ProxyListenAddr(addr string) ProxyOption

ProxyListenAddr configures the address the bidirectional clients can connect to.

func ProxyListenPort

func ProxyListenPort(port int) ProxyOption

ProxyListenPort configures the port the bidirectional clients can connect to.

func ProxyServerAddr

func ProxyServerAddr(addr string) ProxyOption

ProxyServerAddr configures the address of the remote host to connect to.

func ProxyServerPort

func ProxyServerPort(port int) ProxyOption

ProxyServerPort configures the port of the remote host to connect to.

func ProxyTimeout

func ProxyTimeout(d time.Duration) ProxyOption

ProxyTimeout configures the duration to wait until write to a client fails.
