The hot new tool of the day is Echo Mirage! Have you had the need to get in between a fat client and the server it communicates with? You have no way to tell the client what the target server and port are, yet you need to intercept the traffic in real time for modification and protocol attacks? Well, this week at a client site I needed to do just that. I spent the better portion of a day cobbling together a VM running Linux with two instances of netsed and also reversing the Java web start files to point it to it's new location. THEN I find this tool.
Echo Mirage is a generic network proxy. It uses DLL injection and function hooking techniques to redirect network related function calls so that data transmitted and received by local applications can be observed and modified.
Check it out the next time you find yourself hammering a protocol that you just can't intercept.
