Hey, it seems like my Fiddler can't capture HTTPS as I try to install the Root Certificate I get an error in the Logs.

Doesn someone know how to fix it? I already deleted the RSA key multiple times.

Hi Baseult,

 

Apart from completely removing the certificates manually from the Windows certificate store, you could also try to disable any antivirus software or threat detection tool. Some of those tools are detecting Fiddler as MITM and assuming that this is MITM malware.

Btw, is that a new Fiddler installation on that PC or an existing one that stopped working?
