42 \class QDefaultMaskGenerator
44 \inmodule QtWebSockets
46 \brief The QDefaultMaskGenerator class provides the default mask generator for QtWebSockets.
48 The WebSockets specification as outlined in {http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455}{RFC 6455}
49 requires that all communication from client to server must be masked. This is to prevent
50 malicious scripts to attack bad behaving proxies.
51 For more information about the importance of good masking,
52 see \l {http://w2spconf.com/2011/papers/websocket.pdf}.
53 The default mask generator uses the cryptographically insecure qrand() function.
54 The best measure against attacks mentioned in the document above,
55 is to use QWebSocket over a secure connection (\e wss://).
56 In general, always be careful to not have 3rd party script access to
57 a QWebSocket in your application.
62 #include "qdefaultmaskgenerator_p.h"
69 Constructs a new QDefaultMaskGenerator with the given \a parent.
73 QDefaultMaskGenerator::QDefaultMaskGenerator(QObject *parent) :
74 QMaskGenerator(parent)
79 Destroys the QDefaultMaskGenerator object.
83 QDefaultMaskGenerator::~QDefaultMaskGenerator()
88 Seeds the QDefaultMaskGenerator using qsrand().
89 When seed() is not called, no seed is used at all.
93 bool QDefaultMaskGenerator::seed() Q_DECL_NOEXCEPT
95 qsrand(static_cast<uint>(QDateTime::currentMSecsSinceEpoch()));
100 Generates a new random mask using the insecure qrand() method.
104 quint32 QDefaultMaskGenerator::nextMask() Q_DECL_NOEXCEPT
106 return quint32((double(qrand()) / RAND_MAX) * std::numeric_limits<quint32>::max());
