Requirements
In the hosts file of your attacker machine create an entry for dvws.local to point at the IP address hosting the DVWS application.
Location of hosts file:
Windows: C:\windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Linux: /etc/hosts
Sample entry for hosts file:
192.168.100.199 dvws.local
The application requires the following:
Apache + PHP + MySQL
PHP with MySQLi support
Install "Ratchet" and "ReactPHP-MySQL" using composer:
git clone https://github.com/interference-security/DVWS
cd DVWS
composer install
Setting up DVWS
Set the MySQL hostname, username, password and an existing database name in the includes/connect-db.php file then go to Setup to finish setting up DVWS.
Running DVWS
On the host running this application, run the following command from DVWS directory: php ws-socket.php --heartbeat-interval <seconds>
Example: php ws-socket.php --heartbeat-interval 10
Important Note
DVWS has been developed with limited knowledge of Web Sockets. Feel free to contribute and enhance this project.
