WebScripts

Description

This tool run scripts and display the result in a Web Interface (a little presentation is available here and on my github.io).

Goals

Create a safe, secure and easy way to share CLI (console) scripts and scripting environnments with your team or people without IT knowledge.

• Secure
  • SAST - Static Application Security Testing (wiki) using bandit, semgrep, CodeQL and Pycharm Security.
  • DAST - Dynamic Application Security Testing (wiki) using ZAP (Baseline && full scan), nuclei and some Kali Linux tools.
  • Web pentest (wiki) using Kali Linux Web tools and my little experience in Web Hacking. Tools are skipfish, nikto, dirb and whatweb.
  • Hardening(wiki), the WebScripts installation is pre-hardened, an audit is performed at the launch of the WebScripts server and reports are generated. Defaults/examples HTML reports:
  • File integrity checks(wiki), the WebScripts server implements a daemon thread to check file integrity hourly.
  • Logs with centralization (using Syslog on Linux and Event Viewer on Windows), some levels and differents files for easiest supervision, controls and investigations
  • Easy to update and patch security issues on Linux (critical functions are implemented in Standard Library and are updated with your system) (WebScripts does not require any python external package)
  • Easy to deploy securely (with docker or on your Linux system with Apache and UWSGI or NGINX as reverse proxy)
  • Easy to configure securely (read the documentation) (wiki), hardening checks and reports for unsecure configurations
  • Unittest - 99% Code Coverage (2104/2108 lines) (wiki), tests with python3.8 - python3.12
  • Javascript parser and formatter for text, json and csv content type (XSS protection)
  • XSS active protection for html content type based on user inputs analysis and script outputs
• Customizable
  • Authentication (wiki) - example (wiki)
  • Web Interface: HTML, CSS and JS files (wiki)
  • URL, request, response and error pages using python modules (wiki) - example (wiki)
• Highly configurable and scalable with a python module system (wiki) and configurations
• Pre-installed and configured scripts and modules (user and authentication, secure file sharing with permissions, error pages with requests to administrator system, temporary and secure password share, logs viewer and analyser)

Requirements

This package require:

• python3
• python3 Standard Library

Optional on Windows:

• pywin32 (to centralize logs in Event Viewer)

Installation

python3 -m venv WebScripts        # Make a virtual environment for WebScripts
source WebScripts/bin/activate    # Activate your virtual environment
sudo WebScripts/bin/python3 -m pip install --use-pep517 WebScripts --install-option "--admin-password=<your password>" --install-option "--owner=<owner>" --install-option "--directory=<directory>"     # Install WebScripts using setup.py with pip
sudo WebScripts/bin/python3 -m WebScripts.harden -p '<my admin password>' -o '<my webscripts user>' -d 'WebScripts/'  # Harden default configurations
cd WebScripts                     # Use your virtual environment to start WebScripts
WebScripts                        # Start WebScripts server for demonstration (for production see deployment documentation)
