WRP - Web Rendering Proxy

A HTTP proxy server that allows to use historical and obsolete web browsers on the modern web. It works by rendering the web page in to a GIF/PNG/JPEG image associated with clickable imagemap of original web links.

New: Version 2.1 brings support for sslstrip to allow browsing https/SSL/TSL websites

Current Status

  • SSL/TLS stripping is delegated to sslstrip1, which you need to install into your PATH first
  • I'm also looking for moving away from WebKit, QT and Python
  • Stay tuned

OS Support

WRP works on macOS (Mac OS X), Linux and FreeBSD. On macOS it uses Cocoa Webkit, on Linux/FreeBSD QT Webkit, for which needs PyQT4 or PyQT5.

Installation

  • macOS - should just work
  • Linux/FreeBSD install python-pyqt5.qtwebkit
  • For sslstrip install sslstrip
  • For PythonMagick (Imagemagick library) install python-pythonmagick

Configuration

Edit wrp.py, scroll past Copyright section to find config parameters

Usage

Configure your web browser to use HTTP proxy at IP address and port where WRP is running. If using browsers prior to HTML 3.2, ISMAP option may need to be enabled. Check configuration.
