SimpleHTTPserver is a go enhanced version of the well known python simplehttpserver with in addition a fully customizable TCP server, both supporting TLS.
- HTTP/S Web Server
- File Server with arbitrary directory support
- HTTP request/response dump
- Configurable ip address and listening port
- Configurable HTTP/TCP server with customizable response via YAML template
SimpleHTTPserver requires go1.14+ to install successfully. Run the following command to get the repo -
GO111MODULE=on go get -v github.com/projectdiscovery/simplehttpserver/cmd/simplehttpserver
simplehttpserver -h
This will display help for the tool. Here are all the switches it supports.
Flag | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
listen | Configure listening ip:port (default 127.0.0.1:8000) | simplehttpserver -listen 127.0.0.1:8000 |
path | Fileserver folder (default current directory) | simplehttpserver -path /var/docs |
verbose | Verbose (dump request/response, default false) | simplehttpserver -verbose |
tcp | TCP server (default 127.0.0.1:8000) | simplehttpserver -tcp 127.0.0.1:8000 |
tls | Enable TLS for TCP server | simplehttpserver -tls |
rules | File containing yaml rules | simplehttpserver -rules rule.yaml |
upload | Enable file upload in case of http server | simplehttpserver -upload |
max-file-size | Max Upload File Size (default 50 MB) | simplehttpserver -max-file-size 100 |
sandbox | Enable sandbox mode | simplehttpserver -sandbox |
https | Enable HTTPS in case of http server | simplehttpserver -https |
cert | HTTPS/TLS certificate (self generated if not specified) | simplehttpserver -cert cert.pem |
key | HTTPS/TLS certificate private key | simplehttpserver -key cert.key |
domain | Domain name to use for the self-generated certificate | simplehttpserver -domain projectdiscovery.io |
basic-auth | Basic auth (username:password) | simplehttpserver -basic-auth user:password |
realm | Basic auth message | simplehttpserver -realm "insert the credentials" |
version | Show version | simplehttpserver -version |
silent | Show only results | simplehttpserver -silent |
This will run the tool exposing the current directory on port 8000

2021/01/11 21:41:15 [::1]:50181 "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 383
2021/01/11 21:41:15 [::1]:50181 "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 19
This will run the tool exposing the current directory on port 8000 over HTTPS with user provided certificate:
simplehttpserver -https -cert cert.pen -key cert.key
2021/01/11 21:40:48 Serving . on http://0.0.0.0:8000/...
2021/01/11 21:41:15 [::1]:50181 "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 383
2021/01/11 21:41:15 [::1]:50181 "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 19
Instead, to run with self-signed certificate and specific domain name:
simplehttpserver -https -domain localhost
2021/01/11 21:40:48 Serving . on http://0.0.0.0:8000/...
2021/01/11 21:41:15 [::1]:50181 "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 383
2021/01/11 21:41:15 [::1]:50181 "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 19
This will run the tool and will request the user to enter username and password before authorizing file uploads
simplehttpserver -basic-auth root:root -upload
2021/01/11 21:40:48 Serving . on http://0.0.0.0:8000/...
To upload files use the following curl request with basic auth header:
curl -v --user 'root:root' --upload-file file.txt http://localhost:8000/file.txt
This will run the tool as TLS TCP server and enable custom responses based on YAML templates:
simplehttpserver -rule rules.yaml -tcp -tls -domain localhost
The rules are written as follows:
rules:
- match: regex
response: response data
For example to handle two different paths simulating an HTTP server or SMTP commands:
rules:
# HTTP Requests
- match: GET /path1
response: |
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: httpd/2.0
x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN
x-xss-protection: 1; mode=block
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2021 14:30:32 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Connection: close
<HTML><HEAD><script>top.location.href='/Main_Login.asp';</script>
</HEAD></HTML>
- match: GET /path2
response: |
HTTP/1.0 404 OK
Server: httpd/2.0
<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>Not found</BODY></HTML>
# SMTP Commands
- match: "EHLO example.com"
response: |
250-localhost Nice to meet you, [127.0.0.1]
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250-SMTPUTF8
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250 STARTTLS
- match: "MAIL FROM: <noreply@example.com>"
response: 250 Accepted
- match: "RCPT TO: <test@example.com>"
response: 250 Accepted
