Mitm: Wiki

: The attacker gains access to the communication channel. This is often achieved through unencrypted public Wi-Fi or technical exploits that re-route traffic through the attacker's device.

A typical MITM attack progresses through two primary stages: and decryption . mitm wiki

mitmproxy --mode reverse:https://example.com --listen-port 9000 : The attacker gains access to the communication channel

| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | | Respond with a local file instead of hitting the server. | | Map remote | Redirect a request to a different server. | | Set headers | Add, modify, or remove headers on the fly. | | Block flows | Drop matching flows (with custom HTTP error code). | | Cut flow trace | Save and load session files ( .mitm format). | | Export to HAR | HTTP Archive format for debugging tools. | | Server replay | Replay saved flows to a server (testing/load simulation). | | Client replay | Replay from saved flows but let the proxy re-resolve DNS. | | SOCKS5 proxy mode | --mode socks5 . | | Reverse proxy with path rewrite | e.g., /api/ → https://backend/api/ . | mitmproxy --mode reverse:https://example

| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | | See requests/responses in real time with syntax highlighting. | | Full request/response inspection | Headers, body, cookies, form data, JSON, XML, binary (hex view). | | Intercept & modify | Pause flows, edit requests/responses before forwarding. | | Replay requests | Re-send previously captured requests (single or batch). | | Set breakpoints | Break on request, response, or both, with filter rules. | | Filter flows | Filter by method, domain, path, status code, content type, etc. | | Search inside flows | Regex search across all flow content. |

In technical contexts, "MITM Wiki" refers to educational pages (like Wikipedia or Ciberseguridad Wiki ) that explain how attackers intercept communications .
