Certbot
Get free HTTPS certificates forever from Let's Encrypt
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. -

Interactsh
An OOB interaction gathering server and client library
Interactsh is an open-source tool for detecting out-of-band interactions. It is a tool designed to detect vulnerabilities that cause external interactions. Interactsh Cli client requires go1.17+ to install successfully. interactsh-client with -sf, -session-file flag can be used store/read the current session information from user defined file which is useful to resume the same session to poll the interactions even after the client gets stopped or closed. Running the interactsh-client in verbose mode (v) to see the whole request and response, along with an output file to analyze afterwards. Using the server flag, interactsh-client can be configured to connect with a self-hosted Interactsh server, this flag accepts single or multiple server separated by comma. Default servers are subject to change/rotate/down at any time, thus we recommend using a self-hosted interactsh server if you are experiencing issues with the default server. -

HTTPS certificate handling is compatible with mitmproxy and stored in the ~/.mitmproxy folder. If the root certificate is already trusted from the previous use of mitmproxy, go-mitmproxy can use it directly. Map Remote and Map Local support. -

Milkman
An extensible request/response workbench
Milkman is heavily inspired by Postman. But I got sick of all those electron-based applications that need ages and loads of memory to start up. Therefore, this is a JavaFx-based workbench for crafting requests/responses. It is not limited to e.g. HTTP (or more specifically rest) requests. Due to nearly everything being a plugin, other things are possible, like database requests or GRPC, GraphQl, etc. Request-types (e.g. Http Request), request-aspects (e.g. Headers, Body, etc), editors for request aspects (e.g. table-based editors for headers), importers, whatever it is, you can extend it. The core application only handles Workspaces with Environments, Collections, Requests, and their aspects. Several plugins are provided already that extend the core application to be a replacement for postman. Crafting and Executing Http/Rest requests with json highlighting. Support Proxy-server configuration and SSE. -

PostgREST
REST API for any Postgres database
PostgREST is a standalone web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API. The structural constraints and permissions in the database determine the API endpoints and operations. Using PostgREST is an alternative to manual CRUD programming. Custom API servers suffer problems. Writing business logic often duplicates, ignores or hobbles database structure. Object-relational mapping is a leaky abstraction leading to slow imperative code. The PostgREST philosophy establishes a single declarative source of truth: the data itself. It’s easier to ask PostgreSQL to join data for you and let its query planner figure out the details than to loop through rows yourself. It’s easier to assign permissions to db objects than to add guards in controllers. (This is especially true for cascading permissions in data dependencies.) It’s easier to set constraints than to litter code with sanity checks. -

OpenAPI.NET
Object model for OpenAPI documents in .NET
The OpenAPI.NET SDK contains a useful object model for OpenAPI documents in .NET along with common serializers to extract raw OpenAPI JSON and YAML documents from the model. The OpenAPI.NET project holds the base object model for representing OpenAPI documents as .NET objects. Some developers have found the need to write processors that convert other data formats into this OpenAPI.NET object model. We'd like to curate that list of processors in this section of the readme. Converts standard .NET annotations ( /// comments ) emitted from your build (MSBuild.exe) into OpenAPI.NET document object. Converts the XML representation of the Entity Data Model (EDM) describing an OData Service into OpenAPI.NET document object. -

pgrok
HTTP/TCP reverse tunnel solution through SSH remote port forwarding
The pgrok is a multi-tenant HTTP/TCP reverse tunnel solution through remote port forwarding from the SSH protocol. This is intended for small teams that need to expose the local development environment to the public internet, and you need to bring your own domain name and SSO provider. It gives a stable subdomain for every user and gated by your SSO through the OIDC protocol. Think of this as a bare-bones alternative to the ngrok's $65/user/month enterprise tier. Trying to put this behind a production system will blow up your SLA. For individuals and production systems, just buy ngrok, it is still my favorite. -
24
sish
HTTP(S)/WS(S)/TCP Tunnels to localhost using only SSH
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. -

RESTinio
HTTP/WebSocket server C++14 library
RESTinio is a header-only C++14 library that gives you an embedded HTTP/WebSocket server. It is based on the standalone version of ASIO and is targeted primarily for the asynchronous processing of HTTP requests. Since v.0.4.1 Boost::ASIO (1.66 or higher) is also supported. Consider the task of writing a C++ application that must support some REST API, RESTinio represents our solution for that task. Server runs on the main thread, and responds to all requests with a hello-world message. Of course, you've got access to the structure of a given HTTP request, so you can apply complex logic for handling requests. Async request handling. Cannot get the response data immediately? That's ok, store the request handle somewhere and/or pass it to another execution context and get back to it when the data is ready.
