pyfauths.py

This is a python script which emulates a user authenticating to a WatchGuard Fireware OS https portal on port 4100. It's useful when you cannot use the Watchguard provided authentication or SSO methods, for example when you need to authenticate from a script.

Usage example

./pyfauths.py mywgaddress.mydom.dom login Firebox-DB john

Or you can type the password directy on the commandline:

./pyfauths.py mywgaddress.mydom.dom login Firebox-DB john itspassword

To logout:

./pyfauths.py mywgaddress.mydom.dom logout

Security notes

• Putting a cleartext password on the commandline is considered to be not secure.
• This script currently does not verify certificate and is not protected from simple MITM SSL attacks to discover the password

Compatibility

• Tested on ubuntu 16.04 against Fireware OS 11.11.4, ubuntu 20.04 against Firewire OS 12.6.2
• Does not work on MacOS Sierra, because the installed python 2.7.10 is linked to an old openssl library. You can try to workaround it installing an updated python via Homebrew
