Hence, we were fully aware that the lowest hanging fruits were probably plucked. The client had a robust bug bounty policy and had undergone multiple pentests before. Once upon a time, we took up an engagement with a client whose web application relied heavily on WebSockets for soft real-time communication. With wsrepl, we aim to turn the tide in websocket pentesting, providing a tool that is as efficient as it is intuitive.
wsrepl strikes a much needed balance by offering an interactive REPL interface that’s user-friendly, while also being conveniently easy to automate. This tool, the latest addition to Doyensec’s security tools, is designed to simplify auditing of websocket-based apps. Consequently, you find yourself shifting from one tool to another, trying to manage them simultaneously and wishing for a more streamlined approach. However, when tasked with pentesting these WebSockets, it feels like you’re juggling flaming torches on a unicycle, atop a tightrope! Existing tools, while proficient in their specific realms, are much like mismatched puzzle pieces – they don’t quite fit together, leaving you to bridge the gaps. They’re the unsung heroes in data streaming and bilateral communication, serving up everything in real-time, because apparently, waiting is so last century. In an era defined by instant gratification, where life zips by quicker than a teenager’s TikTok scroll, WebSockets have evolved into the heartbeat of web applications.
