chaos-tproxy

Transparent HTTP proxy for [Abort|Delay|Append|Replace] packet. Based on linux iptables-extension : TPROXY.

Installation

Kernel Modules

Check the installed kernel modules by lsmod, modules ebtables, ebtable_broute and iptable_mangle are required to make chaos-tproxy work.

Install ebtables-legacy

Rs-tproxy relies on the legacy version of ebtables since the ebtables-nft have some problem on brouting transfer. So on different linux distribution we need to install ebtables-legacy or create a symbolic link.

On centos 7.0 - 7.9 or other version using legacy version of ebtables:

ln -s /usr/sbin/ebtables /usr/sbin/ebtables-legacy

On centos 8+ :

wget http://mirror.coastal.edu/centos/8-stream/hyperscale/x86_64/packages-main/Packages/e/ebtables-legacy-2.0.11-9.hs.el8.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i ebtables-legacy-2.0.11-9.hs.el8.x86_64.rpm
rm ebtables-legacy-2.0.11-9.hs.el8.x86_64.rpm
yum reinstall iptables-ebtables

On Debian or Ubuntu :

apt install -y ebtables
  • additions for container:
update-alternatives --set iptables /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy

Install chaos-tproxy

Download chaos-tproxy in release.

Tips for ubuntu user:

The DNS will be broken if you are using the dnsmasq server on 127.0.0.1:53. Please change the default dns server to 8.8.8.8 or other global dns server by editting /etc/resolv.conf before using chaos-tproxy.
