In my daily work, I missed a tool with which I could test the configuration of domains in a simple way. The ability to use curl or openssl is very important, but I did not have the tools to automate this process. Until now, I used the tools available on the web, but each of them had some shortcomings. Htrace.sh is a shell script that allows you to validate your domain configuration and catch any errors (e.g. redirect loops). It also displays basic information about the ssl configuration (if available), response headers, checks for mixed content and performs security scans using Nmap scripts and great external tools such as Ssllabs or Mozilla Observatory.

It is useful for:

• checking properly domain configuration (web servers/reverse proxies)

• redirects analysis, e.g. to eliminate redirect loops

• checking response headers for each request

• checking basic ssl configuration

  • validation of the certificates (date, cn, san) and verification ssl connection

• scanning domain for Mixed Content

• scanning domain using Nmap NSE Library

• scanning domain with external security tools: Mozilla Observatory and SSL Labs API

  Before use htrace.sh please see Requirements.

It's simple:

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/trimstray/htrace.sh

# Go into the repository
cd htrace.sh

# Install
./setup.sh install

# Run the app
htrace.sh --domain https://google.com

• symlink to bin/htrace.sh is placed in /usr/local/bin
• man page is placed in /usr/local/man/man8

htrace.sh support external tools for security scans:

• Mozilla Observatory - cli version of observatory.mozilla.org
  with params: --format=report --rescan --zero --quiet
• Ssllabs - command-line reference-implementation client for SSL Labs API
  with params: -quiet -grade
• mixed-content-scan - cli tool for check HTTPS-enabled website for Mixed Content
  with params: -user-agent \"$_user_agent\" --no-check-certificate
• Nmap NSE Library - provide automated security scans with Nmap
  with scripts:
  • http-auth-finder
  • http-chrono
  • http-cookie-flags
  • http-cors
  • http-cross-domain-policy
  • http-csrf
  • http-dombased-xss
  • http-git
  • http-grep
  • http-internal-ip-disclosure
  • http-jsonp-detection
  • http-malware-host
  • http-methods
  • http-passwd
  • http-phpself-xss
  • http-php-version
  • http-robots.txt
  • http-sitemap-generator
  • http-shellshock
  • http-stored-xss
  • http-unsafe-output-escaping
  • http-useragent-tester
  • http-vhosts
  • http-xssed
  • ssl-enum-ciphers
  • whois-ip

If you don't know how to install these tools and where they should be placed, please see in Dockerfile where exactly every step is described.

When scanning for mixed content and nmap scripting engine, remember that it may take a long time before the entire site is checked.

If you want to generate a report in html format, use the ansi2html.sh tool. A detailed description of use:

htrace.sh -d https://nmap.org -s -h | ansi2html --bg=dark > report.html

The configuration is contained in the build/Dockerfile.

cd htrace.sh/build
docker build --rm -t htrace.sh -f Dockerfile .

docker run --rm -it --name htrace.sh htrace.sh -d http://nmap.org -h
