About mitmproxy
mitmproxy is a set of tools that provide an interactive, TLS-capable intercepting proxy for HTTP/1, HTTP/2, and WebSocket traffic. It includes mitmproxy (console interface), mitmweb (browser-based interface), and mitmdump (non-interactive dumping). Traffic can be intercepted, inspected, modified, and replayed in real-time. Its Python scripting API enables complex traffic manipulation, from rewriting headers to injecting content. mitmproxy handles TLS transparently, making it invaluable for debugging encrypted API calls, mobile app traffic analysis, and security testing.
