simple-portforwarder

Simple portforwarder I prepared for SVATTT2019 final - an attack/defense style CTF.
It is based on this code: https://gist.github.com/sandrogauci/9618007

Features

• Listen on one port and forward traffic to another port on same host or other host.
• Run effectively and consume less computer resource.
• Read configs from json file.
• Log tcp data, ip, port source and timestamp.
• Can write rule to detect packet based on strings, hex values or regex. Detected packet can be dropped or the reponse can be modified.

Config and run

Write configs in a json file for each port you want to forward.

    "id": "web01",
    "local_port": "8080",
    "remote_host": "172.17.0.2",
    "remote_port": "80",
    "filter_request":{
