More GSoC Progress: Mitmproxy 5.2 released!

23 Jul 2020 Maximilian Hils

We are excited to announce the release of mitmproxy 5.2, a free and open source interactive HTTPS proxy! As the first part of his Google Summer of Code (GSoC) at the Honeynet Project, our student Martin Plattner (@MartinPlattnr) has completely revamped mitmproxy’s replacement feature, which is a powerful tool to modify and redirect HTTP messages.

As a small demonstration, Martin showed us how we can make these turbulent times much more bearable with a simple mitmproxy invocation:

mitmproxy --map-remote "|^.+\.jpg$|https://placedog.net/640/480?random"

Well… please look at the dogs, not the headlines. :)
