About

Blab-a-Gag is a fairly simple forum type application which allows:

• Users can post a one-liner joke.
• Users can follow the jokes of other users or not (listen or ignore).
• Users can comment on other users messages (heckle).

URLs

• /feed shows the jokes/heckles that are relevant to the current user.
• /blabbers shows a list of all other users and allows the current user to listen or ignore.
• /profile allows the current user to modify their profile.
• /login allows you to log in to your account
• /register allows you to create a new user account
• /tools shows a tools page that shows a fortune or lets you ping a host.

Run

If you don't already have Docker this is a prerequisite.

docker run --rm -it -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 antfie/verademo

Navigate to: http://127.0.0.1:8080.

Exploitation Demos

See the docs folder.

Technologies Used

• Spring boot
• MariaDB

Development

To build the container run this:

docker pull mariadb:10.6.2
docker build --no-cache -t verademo .

To run the container for local development run this:

docker run --rm -it -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 --entrypoint bash -v "$(pwd)/app:/app" verademo

You will then need to manually run the two commands within /entrypoint.sh. The first starts the DB in the background whereas the second compiles and runs the application. Typically a container shouldn't have multiple services but this was done for convenience.
