This project, referred to as the "proxy" in the documentation, is designed to provide the necessary WebSocket-to-TCP translation required for the tools running inside of OctoPwn. This enables network communication between various components.

Upon starting the application, a WebSocket server is set up on localhost at port 8700. The server then waits for a connection from OctoPwn to facilitate the required communication.

• WebSocket-to-TCP translation: Facilitates communication between OctoPwn and other networked components.

• Golang version 1.22.5 or later
• OctoPwn set up and running

Clone the repository and navigate into the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/wsnet-proxy.git
cd wsnet-proxy
# for linux OS
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o wsnet-go
# for windows OS (supports auth proxy)
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o wsnet-go.exe
# for tailscale version - linux -
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -tags tailscale -o wsnet_tailscale
# for tailscale version - windows -
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -tags tailscale -o wsnet_tailscale.exe

Run the proxy server with the following command:

./wsnet-go [options]

First time running you must provide a TS_AUTH_KEY as an env variable. Subsequent runs do not need the key.

TS_AUTH_KEY=tskey-auth-xx... ./wsnet_tailscale

The following command-line options are available:

• -port: Specifies the port on which the WebSocket server will listen. The default is 8700.

  • Example: -port 8080 will start the server on port 8080.

• -address: Defines the address to which the server will bind. By default, it binds to localhost.

  • Example: -address 0.0.0.0 will bind the server to all available network interfaces.

• -uri-path: Sets the URI path (or UUID) for the WebSocket connection. This can be used to create specific endpoints for WebSocket communication.

  • Example: -uri-path /ws/connection will make the WebSocket server available at ws://localhost:8700/ws/connection.

• -ssl: Enables TLS security for the WebSocket connection.

  • Example: -ssl will start the WebSocket server with TLS encryption.

The application currently only supports the TCP client functionality. Other features such as TCP server, UDP client/server, local file browsing, and authentication proxy are not yet implemented.

• TCP Server Support: Enable the application to function as a TCP server, allowing it to accept incoming TCP connections.
• UDP Server: Add support for UDP server functionalities to handle datagram-based communication.
