AppServ
Certbot
Certbot is a fully-featured, easy-to-use, extensible client for the Let’s Encrypt CA. It fetches a digital certificate from Let’s Encrypt, an open certificate authority launched by the EFF, Mozilla, and others. This certificate then lets browsers verify the identity of web servers and ensures secure communication over the Web. Obtaining and maintaining a certificate is usually such a hassle, but with Certbot and Let’s Encrypt it becomes automated and hassle-free. With just a few simple commands, you can turn on and manage HTTPS. Certbot runs directly on the web server, so make sure to check with your hosting provider first if you are able to use Certbot.

CC-attack
Feign
Feign is a Java to HTTP client binder that was built primarily to make writing Java http clients easier. Inspired by previous projects Retrofit, JAXRS-2.0 and WebSocket, Feign was designed to reduce the complexity that is often involved in binding the Denominator uniformly to HTTP APIs, no matter the ReSTfulness. Feign works by processing annotations into a templatized request, to which arguments are applied in a straightforward manner before output. While it may only support text-based APIs, it simplifies system aspects dramatically and makes it much easier to unit test your conversions. Feign makes use of great tools like Jersey and CXF for writing Java clients for ReST or SOAP services. It also lets you write your own code on top of http libraries, and connects your code to http APIs with little overhead.
Open Directory Downloader
Indexes open directories listings in 130+ supported formats, including FTP(S), Google Drive, Bhadoo, GoIndex, Go2Index (alternatives), Dropbox, Mediafire, GoFile, GitHub. Written in C# with .NET (Core), which means it is cross-platform! Downloading is not (yet) implemented, but is already possible when you use the resulting file into another tool (for most of the formats). When you are NOT using the self-contained releases, you need to install the latest/current Runtime version of .NET 7.
UBoat HTTP
A proof-of-concept HTTP Botnet designed to replicate a full weaponized commercial botnet. This project should be used for authorized testing or educational purposes only. The main objective behind creating this offensive project was to aid security researchers and to enhance the understanding of commercial HTTP loader-style botnets. We hope this project helps to contribute to the malware research community and that people can develop efficient countermeasures. Written in C++ with no dependencies. Encrypted C&C communications. Persistence to prevent your control from being lost. Connection redundancy (Uses a fallback server address or domain). DDoS methods (TCP & UDP Flood). Task Creation System (Altering system HWID, Country, IP, OS.System). Remote command execution. Update and uninstall other malware. Download and execute other malware. Active as well as a passive key-logger. Enable Windows RDP. Plugin system for easy feature updates.

This is an enterprise-level programming engine in light and elegant design which can satisfy most C++ back-end development requirements.
PyLoris
PyLoris is a scriptable tool for testing a server’s vulnerability to connection exhaustion denial of service (DoS) attacks. PyLoris can utilize SOCKS proxies and SSL connections, and can target protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SMTP, IMAP, and Telnet.
MiniWeb HTTP server
MiniWeb is a high-efficiency, cross-platform, small-footprint HTTP server implementation in C language. It implements GET and POST methods and works on multiple platforms ranging from server, desktop, game console and IoT hardware.
Caddy
Caddy is a powerful, extensible, enterprise-ready server platform that uses TLS by default. Everything you would require in your infrastructure, from TLS certificate renewals and OCSP stapling, to reverse proxying and ingress, Caddy simplifies it all. Its modular architecture lets you do more with just a single static binary that compiles for any platform. Caddy is the only web server that uses HTTPS automatically and by default. It automatically renews TLS certificates, staples OCSP responses and more. Though used mostly as an HTTPS server, Caddy can be used to run Go applications, offering automated documentation, graceful on-line config changes via API and more to these apps. Caddy is very extensible, with a powerful plugin system unlike any other web server.
NetCoreServer
Ultra fast and low latency asynchronous socket server & client C# .NET Core library with support TCP, SSL, UDP, Unix Domain Socket, HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket protocols and 10K connections problem solution. Has an integration with high-level message protocol based on Fast Binary Encoding. Cross-platform (Linux, MacOS, Windows) Asynchronous communication. Supported transport protocols: TCP, SSL, UDP, UDP multicast, Unix Domain Socket. Supported Web protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket, WebSocket secure. Supported Swagger OpenAPI iterative documentation. Supported message protocol based on Fast Binary Encoding.
SwiftNIO
SwiftNIO is a cross-platform asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients. Low-level protocol implementations are often a collection of ChannelHandlers that implement a protocol but still require the user to have a good understanding of SwiftNIO. Often, low-level protocol implementations will then be wrapped in high-level libraries with a nicer, more user-friendly API. High-level implementations are usually libraries that come with an API that doesn’t expose SwiftNIO’s ChannelPipeline and can therefore be used with very little (or no) SwiftNIO-specific knowledge. The implementations listed below do still do all of their I/O in SwiftNIO and integrate really well with the SwiftNIO ecosystem. SwiftNIO aims to support all of the platforms where Swift is supported. Currently, it is developed and tested on macOS and Linux.
Tiny HTTPd
tinyhttpd is a relatively simple webserver I wrote for a school project. While exceedingly simple, tinyhttpd is threaded and handles basic CGI scripts! This is an educational tool to demonstrate the concepts behind http.
Gunicorn
Gunicorn ‘Green Unicorn’ is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. It’s a pre-fork worker model. The Gunicorn server is broadly compatible with various web frameworks, simply implemented, light on server resources, and fairly speedy. You can run Gunicorn by using commands or integrate with popular frameworks like Django, Pyramid, or TurboGears. For deploying Gunicorn in production see Deploying Gunicorn. After installing Gunicorn you will have access to the command line script gunicorn. Gunicorn also provides integration for Django and Paste Deploy applications. Gunicorn will look for a WSGI callable named application if not specified. So for a typical Django project. Frameworks such as Pyramid and Turbogears are typically configured using Paste Deployment configuration files. If you would like to use these files with Gunicorn, there are two approaches. As a server runner, Gunicorn can serve your application using the commands from your framework, such as pserve or gearbox.
ProxyChains-NG
proxychains ng (new generation), a preloader which hooks calls to sockets in dynamically linked programs and redirects it through one or more socks/http proxies. continuation of the unmaintained proxychains project. proxychains is a hook preloader that allows to redirect TCP traffic of existing dynamically linked programs through one or more SOCKS or HTTP proxies. The way it works is basically a HACK; so it is possible that it doesn’t work with your program, especially when it’s a script, or starts numerous processes like background daemons or uses dlopen() to load «modules» (bug in glibc dynlinker). It should work with simple compiled (C/C++) dynamically linked programs though.
sish
An open source serveo/ngrok alternative. Builds are made automatically for each commit to the repo and are pushed to Dockerhub. Builds are tagged using a commit sha, branch name, tag, latest if released on main. Each release builds separate sish binaries that can be downloaded from here for various OS/archs. Feel free to either use the automated binaries or to build your own. If you submit a PR, images are not built by default and will require a retag from a maintainer to be built. You can also use Docker Compose to setup your sish instance. This includes taking care of SSL via Let’s Encrypt for you. This uses the adferrand/dnsrobocert container to handle issuing wildcard certifications over DNS. SSH can normally forward local and remote ports. This service implements an SSH server that only handles forwarding and nothing else. The service supports multiplexing connections over HTTP/HTTPS with WebSocket support.
