mitmproxy is a man in the middle proxy server for debugging.
To install mitmproxy on Ubuntu, run
sudo apt install mitmproxy -y
On Ubuntu 18.04, this is broken. To insall i created a virtualenv
mkdir -p ~/www/mitmproxy cd ~/www/mitmproxy virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 venv source venv/bin/activate
Install mitmproxy inside virtualenv with
pip install mitmproxy
To start, run
mithproxy
This will listen proxy on port 8080, you can verify with command
netstat -lntp
If you get error like
boby@sok-01:~$ /home/boby/www/mitmproxy/venv/bin/mitmproxy Error: mitmproxy requires a UTF console environment. Set your LANG environment variable to something like en_US.UTF-8 boby@sok-01:~$
Run
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 mitmproxy
To configure in browser, you can use it as HTTP proxy. Here is how i configure it on Firefox FoxyProxy.
