Mitmproxy is an open-source proxy tool that can help developers debug and diagnose HTTP(S) traffic in real-time. In this tutorial, we will go over the steps required to install Mitmproxy on Fedora CoreOS.
Before installing Mitmproxy, we need to make sure that our system is compatible with the tool. To do that, we can check the Mitmproxy website and see which operating systems are supported. Fedora CoreOS is not one of the officially supported systems, but we can still try to install it from the source code.
Mitmproxy requires Python 3.5 or higher to run. We need to make sure that Python is installed on our Fedora CoreOS system before we can install Mitmproxy. To do that, we can run the following command in the terminal:
sudo dnf install python3
Now that we have Python installed, we can proceed with installing Mitmproxy. First, we need to clone the Mitmproxy repository from GitHub. To do that, we can run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy.git
Once the repository is cloned, we need to install the required dependencies. To do that, we can run the following command:
sudo dnf install libffi-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel openssl-devel redhat-rpm-config zlib-devel
Next, we can install Mitmproxy by running the following commands:
cd mitmproxy
sudo python3 setup.py install
To verify that Mitmproxy was installed correctly, we can run the following command:
mitmproxy --version
This should display the version number of Mitmproxy.
Now that Mitmproxy is installed, we can start using it to debug and diagnose HTTP(S) traffic. To view the traffic, we can start Mitmproxy with the following command:
sudo mitmproxy
This will start the Mitmproxy interface, and we can use it to view and manipulate the HTTP(S) traffic.
By following these simple steps, you should now have Mitmproxy installed and running on your Fedora CoreOS system. You can now use it to debug and diagnose HTTP(S) traffic in real-time.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
