This application is part of the "Input Sanitisation and XSS" practical. In particular, this application is used to capture HTTP requests, to demonstrate XSS attacks.
You should never run the application or the VM in any production environment.
You should download and install:
These are both free and open source software packages and run on Linux, OS X and Windows.
Simply cd into the project directory and run:
vagrant upThe first time you run the machine it will take some time to download the base Linux image and to configure the VM (install and configure all dependencies).
You can access the web application at http://127.0.0.1:8070 (or replace 127.0.0.1 with your local/public IP).
You can SSH into the machine, after it has been started, using vagrant ssh. Please note that the project directory
is mounted at /vagrant/ in the VM.
You can stop the machine using vagrant halt or destroy it completely with vagrant destroy.
To checkout the latest version of the project:
cd webapp/ # cd into the project's folder
vagrant destroy -f && git pull && vagrant upThe software has a few functional tests to verify that the application is working as expected. You can run these tests after setting up the VM by running:
vagrant ssh -c "cd /vagrant/ && vendor/bin/phpunit tests"
