DeepfakeHTTP is an open-source tool that allows you to create a fake HTTP server that responds with predetermined responses. In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to install DeepfakeHTTP on your Ubuntu Server.
Before proceeding with this installation, make sure that you have the following requirements:
To install DeepfakeHTTP, we need to install the packages required by the tool. To do this, open the terminal of your Ubuntu Server and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git python3 python3-pip
The above command will install Git, Python3, and Python3-pip.
Once you have installed the required packages, you need to clone the DeepfakeHTTP repository from GitHub. To clone the repository, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/xnbox/DeepfakeHTTP.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the DeepfakeHTTP directory and install the required Python modules by running the following command:
cd DeepfakeHTTP
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Now that we have installed all the required packages and modules, it's time to start DeepfakeHTTP server. To start the server, run the following command:
sudo python3 deepfakehttp.py
This command will start the DeepfakeHTTP server on your Ubuntu Server. By default, the server will listen on port 8080. You can change the port by specifying it in the command above.
Now that the DeepfakeHTTP server is running, you need to configure the responses that it will send. To do this, create a file named rules.json
in the DeepfakeHTTP directory and specify the desired responses.
For example, if you want the server to respond with the status code 200 OK
and the message Hello World
for every request, add the following lines to the rules.json
file:
{
"rules": [
{
"request": {
"method": "*",
"path": "*"
},
"response": {
"status": 200,
"body": "Hello World"
}
}
]
}
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install DeepfakeHTTP on your Ubuntu Server. With DeepfakeHTTP, you can easily create a fake HTTP server to test applications or simulate responses. Remember to always be ethical and responsible when using such tools.
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!
