What about TLS/SSL?
SSL PROXY ➤ Install the Charles Proxy Root Cert ➤
Typically the generated Charles Root (different per install) ➤ Provide your own SSL root cert ➤ Enable SSL Proxying on per domain basis http://www.charlesproxy.com/getssl/
HELPER OPTIONS FOR ROOT SSL
SIDE NOTE ANDROID 7+ ➤ Requires Network Security Config to
trust user installed certs ➤ Help Scout Android only allows user installed certs in debug (i.e not Play store) ➤ Here’s the config
AND THAT’S NOT ALL ➤ DNS spoofing ➤ Web interface
(useful when running Headless) ➤ macOS proxy ➤ Import/Export Session ➤ Focus on single domain ➤ Get cURL of request (used recently when debugging push token registration) ➤ Create Github Gist ➤ Repeat aka basic load testing (multiple times with optional delays) ➤ Whitelist, Blacklist(block), Ignore urls
