Moreover, the process often requires specialized tools and custom testing setup. Simple automated assessment scanning is not sufficient and testing thick client applications requires a lot of patience and a methodical approach. Thick client pentesting involves both local and server-side processing and often uses proprietary protocols for communication. Due to the adoption of hybrid infrastructure architecture, thick-client applications can become a better target for attackers. Thick client applications have been around for many years and can still be found within a variety of organizations – across industries and sizes. 3.2.3 Identifying Interesting Files Bundled with the Thick Client Application.3.2.2 Identifying DLL Hijacking Vulnerability.3.1.2 Network Communication Between the Client and the Server.3.1.1 Application Architecture and Identifying the Languages and Frameworks Used.
In all cases where a name and value can be passed, a null value (the default) means ignore and just assert the name. Times(n) allows you to assert that the call was made a specific number of times otherwise, the assertion passes when one or more matching calls were made.
You can make further assertions against specific calls, fluently of course: httpTest.ShouldHaveCalled("*") HttpTest provides a couple assertion methods against the call log: sut.DoThing() Assertions are test framework-agnostic they throw an exception at any point when a match is not found as specified, signaling a test failure in virtually all testing frameworks. Assert ☍Īs HTTP calls are faked, they are automatically recorded to a call log, allowing you to assert that certain calls were made. HttpTest uses the logical asynchronous call context to flow a signal through the SUT and notify Flurl to fake the call. There is no need to mock or stub any Flurl objects in order for this to work. it is not dequeued and hence gets returned in all subsequent calls.
However, when only one response remains in the queue (matching any filter criteria, if provided), that response becomes "sticky", i.e. When the SUT makes an HTTP call with Flurl, the real call is effectively blocked and the next fake response is dequeued and returned instead. Once an HttpTest is created and any specific responses are queued, simply call into a test subject. Need to make real calls in certain cases? httpTest RespondWith("all conditions met!", 200) Without(call => false) // check anything on the FlurlCall
With(call => true) // check anything on the FlurlCall Public void Test_Some_Http_Calling_Method() ) // wildcard supported in sting values At its core is HttpTest, the creation of which kicks Flurl into test mode, where all HTTP activity in the test subject is automatically faked and recorded. Flurl.Http provides a set of testing features that make isolated arrange-act-assert style testing dead simple.
