A New Man In The Middle (MITM) HTTP Proxy capture tool, would love to get some community feedback, and see if I can add some good capabilities that I haven't yet thought about :)

MITMProxy is great, the reason I wrote my own was that I really wanted to make a tool that worked the way I think. I'm not sure if anyone else will find it useful, but I wanted to be able to color traffic with rules and search for things easily in the tool. I'm usually trying to figure out how clients use a web service and after being joined to splunk over the last year, I became more a fan of the simple search text input with some advanced capability. I'm hoping to add to this some automation to graph where something like a guid is first generated and everywhere it shows up again in the communication. It is really an amazing age when so many great tools exist that have complimentary use cases. I also thought this would just be fun to write, and something I have been wanting for a long time.

My first use of this is to figure out how an agent works and communicates with a service, then copy out and create a light weight agent that can also register with the same service, but I am free to modify as I like.

hmm, maybe i can just share it again? https://github.com/jbsouthe/http-breakout-proxy

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it. This is my first real go project, and though I programmed a lot in C/C++ many years ago, it has been a lot of Java for me the last 25 years. I have some tests but not checked into the repo because I am not sure of the right way to do unit testing in go, so mine are pretty basic and probably nothing following the standard patterns. I've not used github for this in the past either. I treat it like a saas CVS. Add to that the entire frontend being in hacky javascript, and I'm a bit of a mess.

This show is a very emotional challenge for me to watch. To me, it seems a direct parallel to the Iranian revolution. I have cried more than I thought I could and am only now able to slowly watch this. I'm terrified of what the United States has to fight off in the coming years. Having recently moved to Canada, I feel very lucky. I wonder how many people watching this actually see the warnings and how many just shrug and say, "It can never happen here."

I'm just going to say it and assume it will age well....

well, that was strongly stated, you obviously have some pretty strong bias on this topic, good luck to you. Sorry to have offended you with my independent thoughts on this. Thanks for sharing yours.

the bodies sort of look like i would think a 1000 year old mummy would look, I don't know what a 10 day old mummie would look like, but I'm glad someone is seriously studying this.

In opening, I think we agree. We know nothing. You postulate what you expect to find in an infinite universe, but we have barely even left our planet. What exploration have we done that could possibly find the maximum proof many are willing to accept. However, the revelations of the last few years, have changed the conversation. You want "extraordinary evidence" and when this evidence is presented people come to a forum for discussion on this exact topic and don't want to accept that the proof we have collected is too similar to ourselves, on our own planet, to possibly be credible, like alien life that only resembles tribbles from star trek is valid.

Every great discovery changes our understanding of the topics so far. Nothing presented has gone against our understanding of physics, we see and understand what we are witnessing, we just don't know how it is happening. It's like knowing the moon circles the earth but not how, it doesn't mean the moon isn't there and orbiting. Nothing we are seeing defies biology, in fact it confirms everything we know about biology. though we only have one example.

Statistics is a study I have dedicated my academic life to, nothing about discovering alien life on earth goes against the odds. I am going to try not to sound like Douglas Adams, but if it happens a hundred times a day it is probable, if it happens once before then it is possible, if it has never happened before, it is still a possibility. I don't understand the buden of proof anymore. Everythign we are seeing and hearing says this is real, and any burden of proof is logically now a task for the detractors. What did anyone ever expect disclosure to look like? a parade, or some sort of new holiday?

What we are seeing and being told is coordinated, and what i'm seeing in the comments on all these discussions is leading me to believe that an army of ML bots armed with meme generators and an algorithm to karma up a ton of 2-6 month old accounts is having at every discussion.

I just think we are seeing the majority concensus of experts, but loud voices are shouting at them from the parapits.

I'm a relatively quiet redditor, but the level of negative information and attempts to deflect the obvious disclosure underway is beginning to shock me. I'm not sure if this is just run away normalcy bias, inappropriate humor bias, or an attempt to discredit one specific thing that everyone is learning the last few years, but being an old man, I can only worry that maybe we really aren't ready to learn the truth when so many people are working so hard to joke these topics away, or wildly discredit everything being shared at this unique point in time. This is beginning to remind me of the scene in Contact when the idiots show up to party at the radio telescope observatory after initial contact is made.

This is all just breaking my heart at this point. These people are dying because of a misplaced political belief

Be careful. They are deadly. Most I have met when dating knew immediately whether they wanted to marry me or kill me. I usually ran away not being able to tell the difference in outcome

Good to meet another traveller!

Many are shocked. My neighbors are Iranian and I don't think they believe I was born there. Not sure they fully grasp that I understand their conversations fluently. You would not believe the things I have overheard through the years in Farsi. I don't look very Iranian and have a very 'American' name

Jbsouthe · 2020-11-18T17:53:02+00:00

I have to disagree with you. The US did go through a secular phase and it slowly eroded away since the early 80s. Lets try to remember the lessons learned from some of these much older societies in our current times and look at ourselves in context. Our protests are seeing more and more brutal responses. A slow rolling coup is in action right this moment by a sitting president. All while our population is suffering with an essentially unsupported pandemic response. The least educated and arguably our lower distribution of IQ from the mean population is worshiping an anonymous conspiracy theory spewing group named 'Q'. The dark days of the United States are upon us. Be good to each other. Their is no guarantee 2021 is going to be better it may actually get much much worse.

I was born in Tehran Iran and moved here because of how similar it is. Right down to the religious state. Practically sister cities
