mitmproxy
by mitmproxy
mitmproxy is an interactive, TLS-capable intercepting HTTP proxy that enables real-time inspection and modification of HTTP, HTTP/2, and WebSocket traffic.
An interactive TLS-capable intercepting HTTP proxy for penetration testers and software developers.
Primary Use Case
mitmproxy is primarily used by penetration testers and software developers to intercept, inspect, and manipulate network traffic for security testing and debugging purposes. It allows users to analyze encrypted traffic and test API security by acting as a man-in-the-middle proxy. The tool is suitable for scenarios involving network monitoring, exploitation, and API security validation.
- Interactive console interface for HTTP/1, HTTP/2, and WebSockets
- SSL/TLS-capable intercepting proxy
- Command-line version (mitmdump) for scripting and automation
- Web-based interface (mitmweb) for easier traffic inspection
- Supports real-time traffic interception and modification
- Extensive documentation and community support
- Continuous integration and code coverage monitoring
- Supports multiple Python versions
Installation
- Visit https://docs.mitmproxy.org/stable/overview-installation for detailed instructions
- Install via pip: pip install mitmproxy
- For source installation, refer to CONTRIBUTING.md in the repository
Usage
