Advanced Usage

Securely View Documents without Downloading them

On Linux systems you have the option to install the Secure Document Viewier during bbx install. Whenever you click on a document in BrowserBox (e.g. .doc, .xls, .pages, .pdf, .rtf etc) the document will automatically be converted to a safe sequence of page images that you can view with the built in viewier. Unsupported formats still have the options of viewing as a binary hex format for analysis using the built-in hex viewer. Also, common archive formats (e.g. *.zip, *.gz, *.7z, .bz etc) will be safely expanded remotely and displayed with the built-in file and directory viewier.

Inspect the JavaScript and HTML of the remote page with DevTools

When viewing a page just right click (long-tap on mobile) and select "Inspect in DevTools" to open the DevTools viewier for the page.

Tunnel over Tor

BrowserBox supports Tor natively, both accessing the hidden web and running as an .onion site:

bbx tor-run

Tunnel over SSH

You can set up a private SSH tunnel between your machine and your BrowserBox machine (e.g. user@remote_host). Then BrowserBox ports are never exposed to the public internet.

Setup your local devices

Run install and enter localhost for the hostname when prompted. The https://localhost certificates will be trusted by your local machine so copy them to your remote machine for BrowserBox, and create the SSH tunnel:

bbx install # enter localhost when prompted
scp ~/sslcerts/*.pem user@remote_host:~/sslcerts/
ssh -L 9997:localhost:9997 -L 9998:localhost:9998 -L 9999:localhost:9999 -L 10000:localhost:10000 -L 10001:localhost:10001 user@remote_host

Run BrowserBox on your remote machine (e.g. user@remote_host)

Run BrowserBox on the remote machine on the same ports you tunneled by specifying the middle port:

bbx setup --hostname localhost --port 9999
bbx run

Remote access BrowserBox from your local devices

Open a web browser on your local device and put the Login Link from step 2 into the address bar.
