Validation Logic + +The mock server demonstrates proper validation: + +```javascript +// Activity validation +validateActivity(activity) { + - Check for required fields + - Validate @context + - Verify actor field + - Return validation result +} + +// Security checks +performSecurityChecks(activity) { + - Scan for XSS patterns + - Check for SSRF attempts + - Detect prototype pollution + - Identify SQL injection patterns + - Return list of issues +} +``` + +## HTTP Signatures (Planned) + +Future versions will implement full HTTP signature support: + +``` +1. Generate RSA key pair +2. Include public key in actor profile +3. Sign requests with private key +4. Verify signatures on mock server +5. Test signature bypass scenarios +``` + +## Extension Points + +### Adding New Security Tests + +1. Add test method to `SecurityTester`: +```javascript +async testNewVulnerability(inboxUrl) { + const payloads = [...]; + const results = []; + + for (const payload of payloads) { + // Create activity with payload + // Send to inbox + // Analyze response + results.push({...}); + } + + return results; +} +``` + +2. Integrate into `runAllTests()`: +```javascript +if (!options.tests || options.tests.includes('newvuln')) { + allResults.tests.newVuln = await this.testNewVulnerability(targetUrl); +} +``` + +### Adding New CLI Commands + +1. Add command to `cli.js`: +```javascript +program + .command('new-command') + .description('Description') + .option('-f, --flag ', 'Option') + .action(async (options) => { + // Implementation + }); +``` + +### Extending Mock Server + +1. Add new endpoint handler: +```javascript +async handleNewEndpoint(req, res, path) { + // Handle request + this.sendJSON(res, data); +} +``` + +2. Add route in `handleRequest()`: +```javascript +if (path.match(/^\/new-endpoint$/)) { + await this.handleNewEndpoint(req, res, path); +} +``` + +## Best Practices + +### Code Organization + +- **Separation of Concerns**: Client, tester, CLI, and server are separate modules +- **Reusability**: Core client can be used independently +- **Extensibility**: Easy to add new tests or commands +- **Clean Code**: Well-commented, readable, maintainable + +### Error Handling + +- Graceful error handling in all HTTP requests +- Informative error messages +- Non-blocking errors (continue testing on failure) + +### Logging + +- Clear console output with color coding +- Structured JSON output for results +- Detailed mock server logs for debugging + +### Testing Philosophy + +- **Defense in Depth**: Test multiple vulnerability types +- **Real-world Scenarios**: Payloads based on actual attacks +- **Responsible Testing**: Tools designed for authorized testing only +- **Educational**: Code demonstrates both vulnerabilities and mitigations + +## Future Enhancements + +### Planned Features + +1. **Full HTTP Signature Support** + - RSA key generation + - Signature creation and verification + - Key rotation testing + +2. **WebFinger Testing** + - Account discovery + - Resource validation + - SSRF via WebFinger + +3. **Media Upload Testing** + - File upload vulnerabilities + - Content-Type confusion + - Malicious file detection bypass + +4. **Rate Limiting Tests** + - Concurrent request flooding + - Activity spam detection + - Resource exhaustion + +5. **Interactive Mode** + - Step-by-step testing wizard + - Real-time response analysis + - Guided security audits + +6. **CI/CD Integration** + - GitHub Actions workflow + - Automated regression testing + - Security benchmarking + +7. **Reporting** + - HTML report generation + - PDF export + - Vulnerability database integration + +## Performance Considerations + +- **Async Operations**: All HTTP requests are asynchronous +- **Timeout Handling**: Configurable timeouts prevent hanging +- **Resource Management**: Proper cleanup of connections +- **Scalability**: Can test multiple endpoints in parallel + +## Security Considerations + +### Tool Security + +- No sensitive data storage +- No persistent state by default +- Safe defaults (localhost, low timeout) +- Clear warnings about authorized testing + +### Mock Server Security + +- Intentionally logs security issues (for demonstration) +- Does not execute malicious payloads +- Sandboxed environment +- No real persistence + +## Dependencies + +- **commander**: CLI argument parsing +- **node-fetch**: HTTP client +- **chalk**: Terminal colors +- **jsonld**: JSON-LD processing +- **http-signature**: HTTP signature support (planned) + +All dependencies are well-maintained and security-audited. + +## Contribution Guidelines + +When extending this project: + +1. **Follow the architecture**: Keep separation of concerns +2. **Add tests**: Include example payloads +3. **Document**: Update this file and other docs +4. **Clean code**: Follow existing style +5. **Security first**: Consider implications of new features diff --git a/docs/SECURITY_TESTING.md b/docs/SECURITY_TESTING.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7fd7b16 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/SECURITY_TESTING.md @@ -0,0 +1,345 @@ +# Security Testing Guide + +## Overview + +This document outlines the security testing methodology and test cases for ActivityPub implementations. + +## Security Test Categories + +### 1.
