Phone Home

Making HTTP Requests Feel Like They Just Called Mom!

Phone Home is an interactive application designed to track and monitor HTTP requests, providing real-time insights and detailed request analysis. It's built in Go and uses the tview package for a terminal-based user interface, making it ideal for use in environments where a GUI is not available or preferred.

Features

Real-time Tracking: Monitor HTTP requests as they happen, and get notified using system notifications. Mom (you) never misses a call!
Detailed Request View: View detailed information about each request, including method, user agent, and payload.
Frequency Analysis: Like any vigilant mom, keep a close eye on how often your HTTP kids come knocking - because nobody tracks comings and goings quite like you do!
Interactive UI: Navigate through request logs and details interactively in the terminal.
Payload Data: Just like a meticulous mom sorting through a backpack, the '?data' parameter in GET requests can carry all sorts of items - base64 encoded or plain text. And if it's base64, consider it auto-magically decoded, because mom's always got the knack for decoding the trickiest notes!

Installation

To install Phone Home, you need to have Go installed on your system. You can then clone this repository and build the application.

git clone https://github.com/kvizdos/phone-home.git
cd phone-home
go build

Usage

To run Phone Home, simply execute the binary created by the build process:

./phone-home

Navigate through the request list using the arrow keys, and press 'Enter' to delve into the details of each list item. Need a quick exit from the input field? Just tap 'Escape.' Ready to jump back into command mode? Simply hit ':' and you're there!". Type "q" to go back a page.

Creating a new Listener

Simply type new <listener name> and hit enter. Once you do, you'll see a unique ID (a string of 8 characters) appear next to the "- Waiting..." status. This is your listener's personal ID. To test it out, navigate to http://localhost:4000/<id> in your web browser. If everything's set up correctly, your listener will 'phone home' successfully!

Mark an Event as Read

Hover over the listener you want to mark as read, and click r (make sure you're focused on the list by hitting escape)

Dumping Data

You have three methods of dumping data from a request. Note: you must be within the detailed view of a request, where the data is visible.

dump: dumps a json-pretty string to a file with the entire request saved
dump data: dumps only the data field to a json file
dump ugly: dumps an ugly json string (no indents) to a file with the entire request saved
