This is the Python library for Firegex. It is used to get additional features of Firegex and use the feature of the command fgex.

Installation

pip install -U firegex

fgex is an alias of firegex. You can use fgex instead of firegex.

Command line usage:

➤ fgex nfproxy -h

 Usage: fgex nfproxy [OPTIONS] FILTER_FILE ADDRESS PORT

 Run an nfproxy simulation

Library usage:

NfProxy decorator

from firegex.nfproxy import pyfilter

This decorator is used to create a filter for the nfproxy. Example:

@pyfilter
def my_filter(raw_packet: RawPacket): #Logging filter
    print(raw_packet.data)

Data handlers

RawPacket

from firegex.nfproxy import RawPacket

This handler will be called every time arrives a packet from the network. It will receive a RawPacket object with the following properties:

  • is_input: bool - It's true if the packet is an input packet, false if it's an output packet
  • is_ipv6: bool - It's true if the packet is an ipv6 packet, false if it's an ipv4 packet
  • is_tcp: bool - It's true if the packet is a tcp packet, false if it's an udp packet
  • data: bytes - The data of the packet assembled and sorted from TCP
  • l4_size: int - The size of the layer 4 data
  • raw_packet_header_len: int - The size of the original packet header
  • l4_data: bytes - The layer 4 payload of the packet
  • raw_packet: bytes - The raw packet with IP and TCP headers

TCPInputStream

Alias: TCPClientStream

from firegex.nfproxy import TCPInputStream

This handler will be called every time a TCP stream is assembled in input. It will receive a TCPInputStream object with the following properties:

  • data: bytes - The data of the packets assembled and sorted from TCP
  • is_ipv6: bool - It's true if the packet is an ipv6 packet, false if it's an ipv4 packet
  • total_stream_size: int - The size of the stream

TCPOutputStream

Alias: TCPServerStream

from firegex.nfproxy import TCPOutputStream

This handler will be called every time a TCP stream is assembled in output. It will receive a TCPOutputStream object with the following properties:

  • data: bytes - The data of the packets assembled and sorted from TCP
  • is_ipv6: bool - It's true if the packet is an ipv6 packet, false if it's an ipv4 packet
  • total_stream_size: int - The size of the stream

HttpRequest

from firegex.nfproxy import HttpRequest

This handler will be called twice: one for the request headers and one for the request body. It will receive a HttpRequest object with the following properties:

  • method: bytes - The method of the request
  • url: str - The url of the request
  • headers: dict - The headers of the request
  • user_agent: str - The user agent of the request
  • content_encoding: str - The content encoding of the request
  • body: bytes - The body of the request
  • headers_complete: bool - It's true if the headers are complete
  • message_complete: bool - It's true if the message is complete
  • http_version: str - The http version of the request
  • keep_alive: bool - It's true if the request should keep alive
  • should_upgrade: bool - It's true if the request should upgrade
  • content_length: int - The content length of the request
  • get_header(header: str, default=None): str - Get a header from the request without caring about the case
  • total_size: int - The total size of the stream
  • stream: bytes - The stream of the request

HttpRequestHeader

from firegex.nfproxy import HttpRequestHeader

This handler will be called only when the request headers are complete. It will receive a HttpRequestHeader object with the same properties as HttpRequest.

HttpFullRequest

from firegex.nfproxy import HttpFullRequest

This handler will be called only when the request is complete. It will receive a HttpFullRequest object with the same properties as HttpRequest.

HttpResponse

from firegex.nfproxy import HttpResponse

This handler will be called twice: one for the response headers and one for the response body. It will receive a HttpResponse object with the following properties:

  • status_code: int - The status code of the response
  • url: str - The url of the response
  • headers: dict - The headers of the response
  • user_agent: str - The user agent of the response
  • content_encoding: str - The content encoding of the response
  • body: bytes - The body of the response
  • headers_complete: bool - It's true if the headers are complete
  • message_complete: bool - It's true if the message is complete
  • http_version: str - The http version of the response
  • keep_alive: bool - It's true if the response should keep alive
  • should_upgrade: bool - It's true if the response should upgrade
  • content_length: int - The content length of the response
  • get_header(header: str, default=None): str - Get a header from the response without caring about the case
  • total_size: int - The total size of the stream
  • stream: bytes - The stream of the response

HttpResponseHeader

from firegex.nfproxy import HttpResponseHeader

This handler will be called only when the response headers are complete. It will receive a HttpResponseHeader object with the same properties as HttpResponse.

HttpFullResponse

from firegex.nfproxy import HttpFullResponse

This handler will be called only when the response is complete. It will receive a HttpFullResponse object with the same properties as HttpResponse.
