In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install HttPlaceholder on Kali Linux, which is a powerful tool for testing and mocking HTTP APIs. Before we proceed with the installation process, make sure that you have Kali Linux and Python 3 installed on your system.
First, we need to install the required dependencies for HttPlaceholder to function properly. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev
This command will install pip3, which is a package manager for Python, and the required dependencies for HttPlaceholder.
Next, we need to clone the HttPlaceholder repository to our local machine. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/dukeofharen/httplaceholder.git
This command will download the HttPlaceholder repository to your current working directory.
After we have cloned the HttPlaceholder repository, we need to install it on our system. To do this, navigate to the cloned repository directory using the following command:
cd httplaceholder
Then, run the following command to install HttPlaceholder:
sudo pip3 install -e .
This command will install HttPlaceholder on our system.
After HttPlaceholder has been installed, we can start it using the following command:
sudo httplaceholder
This command will start the HttPlaceholder server on port 5000. You can now access the HttPlaceholder dashboard by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install HttPlaceholder on Kali Linux. With HttPlaceholder, you can easily test and mock HTTP APIs, making it an essential tool for developers and security researchers.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
