# Word Meaning

[Main] Payload HTTP header data payload that will be injected

Remote Remote HTTP proxy (ex: Squid proxy/APN proxy)

Proxy

Debug Mode Show your data that you send/received in app log
(Please turn off during normal usage)

Battery Disable Wakelock that prevent your CPU from

Saver sleeping

Google DNS Use Google DNS to bypass blocked websites and

prevent your ISP from knowing what websites you're
visiting.

Start SSH Start SSH connection upon starting injection.

[SSH/Setting] Connect There's two modes, iptables (root) which will require
Mode root and it only tunnel port 80 and 443 traffic.
VPN Service mode is for Android 4.0+ and will tunnel
all traffic to your server. (Please use root mode, if you
are having issue with VPN Service mode)

SSH Secure Shell is a encrypted network protocol for

initiating text-based shell sessions on remote
machines in a secure way.

SSH Host SSH IP/hostname

SSH Port The port for your SSH server, normally will be port 22
(Normally public squid/http proxy will block port 22)

Username SSH username

Password SSH password

Data Compress data packet using zlib.

Compression

Upstream HTTP Injector currently is using port 8989 (fixed), you

Proxy have to enable and set 127.0.0.1:8989 for the SSH to
connect to HTTP Injector local proxy server.

Before we get started, let's understand the meaning

Payload Keyword
Using the below keyword, the app will automatically replace with relavent data upon
injection, you don't need to replace the word inside the square bracket unless you know
what you are doing.

Supported keyword: [host] [port] [host_port] [protocol] [netData] [cr] [lf] [crlf] [lfcr]

Assume that 188.100.100.123 is your SSH Server IP and 22 is your SSH port

Keyword Auto Replaced Meaning

[host] 188.100.100.123 Destination host

[port] 22 Destination port

[host_port] 188.100.100.123:22 Destination host and port, seperated by

colon :

[ssh] 188.100.100.123:22 SSH server ip and port that you set at

settings

[protocol] HTTP\1.0 or HTTP\1.1 HTTP protocol version

[netData] CONNECT [host_port] Short form of three keywords

[protocol]

[cr] \r Carriage Return, U+000D

[lf] \n Line Feed, U+000A

[crlf] \r\n CR (U+000D) followed by LF (U+000A)

[lfcr] \n\r LF (U+000A) followed by CR (U+000D)

[crlf][crlf] \r\n\r\n To indicate the end of HTTP header

Inject Method
Notice: In this example we are using "CONNECT" & "HEAD" request method and
domain.com as the host you want to spoof, you might need to use
GET/POST/DELETE/CONNECT/HEAD...
Make sure your remote HTTP proxy allow the request method else you will get 403 error.

Tips: Use "Payload Generator" inside HTTP Injector app instead of writing manually.
Normally we just need to use "CONNECT" request method

Method Payload

Normal CONNECT [host_port] [protocol][crlf]Host: domain.com[crlf][crlf]

Method Payload

Front GET http://domain.com/ HTTP/1.1[crlf]Host: domain.com[crlf][crlf]CONNECT

Inject [host_port] [protocol][crlf][crlf]

Back CONNECT [host_port] HTTP/1.1[crlf][crlf]GET http://domain.com/ [protocol]

Inject [crlf]Host: domain.com[crlf][crlf]

Front CONNECT domain.com@[host_port][crlf]GET http://domain.com/ [protocol]

Query [crlf]Host: domain.com[crlf][crlf]

Back CONNECT [host_port]@domain.com[crlf]GET http://domain.com/ [protocol]

Query [crlf]Host: domain.com[crlf][crlf]

Troubleshoot

302 Error code - If you are getting 302 HTTP header code that means your ISP is
redirecting your request to their captive portal page. Normally ISP blacklisted your
remote proxy or the HTTP Payload

400 Error code - This indicate that your payload is invalid and can't be
understand by remote proxy

Connection timeout - It could be that your network connection is slow or the

remote proxy is slow

VPN

Psiphon - To use with psiphon (uncheck Start SSH), you can't use [host_port] in
your payload, you need to get the SSH IP of psipon and hardcode it (not tested)

OpenVPN - Disable "Start SSH" and use HTTP Injector with your OpenVPN if you
don't have SSH server.
You have to add http-proxy 127.0.0.1 8989 and bypass route route
replace_to_your_remote_proxy_ip 255.255.255.255 net_gateway (change
"replace_to_your_remote_proxy_ip" to IP) to your VPN config.
