Initialization

A Summary of the main components and how they are initialized.

Work in progress - please update to add/remove/correct anything!

• injectionHtml.html
  • Injected into every HTML page by the HUD when the HUD is switched on
  • Only runs on the top frame
  • Loads inject.js
  • Creates management iframe
• inject.js
  • Runs on the target domain
  • This keeps running in the page
  • Receives events from the ZAP domain:
    • showPanel
    • showTimeline
    • hideTimeline
    • showMainDisplay
    • hideMainDisplay
    • expandPanel
    • …
  • Creates main-display
  • Will have any functions that need to run in the target domain.
    • i.e. analyzing the target page, adding images, markup, etc...
• management.js
  • Initialized serviceworker.js - this only happens once, ever, unless there is new HUD code, which will then cause the service worker to update
  • Starts pollWorker.js
  • Passes messages from the service worker to the pollWorker to do actions such as:
    • refreshTarget
    • increaseDataPollRate
    • decreaseDataPollRate
    • showTimeline
    • hideTimeline
• serviceworker.js
  • A ServiceWorker
  • Loads all of the tools (currently hardcoded)
  • Only way to interact with tools?
    • the tools are organized in different files, but all are imported into the service worker, and so run as the service worker. Any frame can send/receive postMessages to/from the service worker (all of the tools)
• pollWorker.js
  • A WebWorker
  • Polls the HUD for updates
  • Posts the messages to management.js which posts them to the serviceworker
