hnwProxy

CircleCI

hnwProxy is a proxy server you can use to simulate a broken Internet connection. It was developed as a bachelor's thesis by Eemil Aikio.

Features

hnwProxy uses a simple module system to run scripts that break things. The command proxy show will list available modules, all of these can be called without arguments for usage information. (more info about modules under guestfiles/proxy_cli)

  • Broken MTU
  • Port block (drop & tcp rst)
  • DNS redirect
  • Transparent proxy (http & https)

  1. Install Vagrant
  2. Download hnwProxy: git clone https://github.com/HowNetWorks/hnwProxy.git
