plockchain 1.8.1

plockchain support for send request flow by write yaml config file

Overview

Plockchain is a lightweight, configurable automation tool designed to help web pentesters streamline their HTTP-based testing workflows. With Plockchain, you can define a sequence of HTTP requests (a "chain"), leverage proxy settings, extract and manipulate data in-flight, and easily integrate dynamic variables into subsequent requests. Whether you need to automate a login flow to fetch a token, or orchestrate a multi-step sequence to probe various endpoints, Plockchain has you covered.

Key Features

• Configurable Flow: Define multi-step HTTP chains in a simple YAML file.
• Proxy Support: Route requests through an HTTP/SOCKS proxy for traffic inspection or access.
• Data Extraction & Injection: Extract fields from responses (e.g., JSON bodies via jq-style selectors) and inject them into later requests.
• TLS & Timeout Controls: Customize TLS on/off per request and set individual timeouts.
• Templating: Use Mustache-style placeholders ({{variable}}) to render headers, URLs, and bodies dynamically.
• Lightweight & Extensible: Built in Python with minimal dependencies, easy to extend for custom extractors or request types.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip for installing dependencies

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/nquangit/plockchain.git
   cd plockchain
   

2. Install required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Configuration

Plockchain is driven by a YAML configuration file. Below is a sample configuration showing global variables, proxy settings, and a request chain:

# File: config.yaml
---
global_vars:
  key: value
  username: admin
  phoneNumber: password
  billIds: "1234556"
  secureCode: "zzzzzz="

proxy:
  host: 127.0.0.1
  port: 8080

chain:
  - req:
      name: init
      use_tls: true
      auto_update_content_length: true
      events:
        # Only response event
        - conditions:
            status: 401, 500
            # body: "something"
          triggers:
            chains:

Configuration Fields

• global_vars: Define key/value pairs available throughout the chain.

• proxy: Optional proxy settings (host, port).

• chain: An ordered list of steps; each step can be a req (HTTP request).

  • name: Identifier for the step; used when exporting variables.
  • use_tls: true for HTTPS, false for HTTP.
  • host/port: Target host and port (support auto).
  • timeout: Request timeout in seconds.
  • export: Extract data from response. Currently supports body JSON extraction with a key selector.
  • import: Inject variables into headers, query parameters, or body.

Usage

Run Plockchain by pointing it to your YAML config file:

# Future
python plockchain.py --config config.yaml

• Use --verbose for detailed logging.
• Add --no-proxy to bypass proxy settings.

Example Workflow

1. Login capturing a JWT token.
2. Fetch protected resource using the extracted token.
3. Process or save the final output as needed.

python plockchain.py -c config.yaml -v

Extending Plockchain

• Custom Extractors: Add support for XML, regex, or HTML parsing by extending the exporters module.
• Additional Steps: Implement new step types (e.g., file uploads, GraphQL requests) in the steps directory.
