Extension API for WebSocket

Federico | Last updated: Oct 19, 2021 09:42AM UTC

Hi, more and more applications every day use WebSockets. In order to handle everyday assessments, it could be great to be able to be able to add Extensions also related to WebSockets, like IHttpListener to tamper traffic, MessageEditorTab to decode/decrypt WebSocket traffic, IContextMenu for specific purposes and so on. Are these kind of API currently in your Roadmap? Thank you! Federico

Hi Federico We will be looking at improving the Extender API soon. WebSocket support for the Extender API is a fairly highly requested feature, so it is likely that we will be looking at this at that time. I've also added your +1 for this feature request! If there's anything else we can help with then please let us know :)

Aloha, I'd like to add my +1 on this request. The ability to interact with websockets data via the Extender API would be a HUGE improvement. Even just the ability to extract the WS messages via API would go a long way to solving my current issues. Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback! We've added your +1 :)

@Hannah Is it added yet?

Hi Not yet - you should be seeing some changes to the Extender API later this year, although to begin with the new API will have the same capabilities as the old one, with new features to be added later.

@Hannah Is there something happening in the websocket area? Looking forward for better support in burp...
