After clicking on Tools | HTTPS | Capture HTTPS CONNECTS, the minute I click the box next to Decrypt HTTPs traffic Fiddler throws the following error:

makecert.exe returned - 1.

Results from c:\program files (x86)\Fiddler2\MakeCert.exe -r -ss my -n
"CN=DO_NOT_TRUST_FiddlerRoot,    etc, etc

Error:  Can't create the key of the subject ('JoeSoft')
Failed

See attached screenshot.

When I try to export the Root Certificate to the Desktop it throws the following error:
The root certificate could not be located.

OS:  Win8.1

im using windows 8.1, when trying to install certificate to decrypt traffic,i get this error Failed to find the root certificate in User Root List.

When I try to run fiddler setup nothing happens.  A trip over to the event viewer under Application I get warning Event 866 from SoftwareRestrictionPolicies :

Access to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\Fiddler4Setup.exe has been restricted by your Administrator by location with policy rule {542edcef-766b-4b80-94e2-42e180f6675d} placed on path C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\*\*.exe.

 

It appears as if this program installer is trying to use the AppData\Local\Temp folder to run executables out of.  This is a big no no and poor programming design.  It is not good practice to install this way as its the cheap and easy way out.  This location is a prime target for malware and ransomware to deposit their payloads and execute.  Therefore we have SRP in place to block the execution of files from this location.  It has saved our arses one time before as it successfully prevented malware from running.

Can any devs try to redesign the installer to utilize a more modern and Microsoft sanctioned way to do an install?  We have many programs that install without issue because they do not take the cheap and easy way out.

Hi,

 

I keep gettiing this error anytime i attempt to open fiddler.

Hi,

Thanks for Fiddler and Fiddlercore. I use Fiddler to inspect websocket messages but not all messages are readable.

some message are readable but some are in this format :    j 0p { <  D  A  ZO vұ ....

What's happening as I'm not a real developer ...

Thanks

Fiddler v4.6.20171.14978 (x64 ) [.NET 4.0.30319.42000 on Unix 4.8.0.46]

Configuration changed:

Tools -> Telerik Fiddler Options -> Tab "HTTPS"

- [checked] Capture HTTPS CONNECTs

- [checked] Decrypt HTTPS traffic -> ...from browsers only

- [changed] "Perform decryption" only for the following host: <site to decrypt only>

(BTW: The text for the option above ["Perform decryption"] appears cut off, only around 2/3 of the label is visible )

 

I am setting up a reverse proxy, and I've got everything working except the correct SSL cert. When I try to do the following:

```

    static function Main() {
        var today: Date = new Date();
        FiddlerObject.StatusText = " CustomRules.js was loaded at: " + today;

        //CertMaker.removeFiddlerGeneratedCerts();
        FiddlerObject.log("Main - Start StoreCerts");
         var oCert = new System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates
            .X509Certificate2("C:\\temp\\geotrust.pfx", "*****");
        FiddlerObject.log("FriendlyName: " + oCert.FriendlyName);
        FiddlerObject.log("Issuer: " + oCert.Issuer);
        FiddlerObject.log("PrivateKey: " + oCert.HasPrivateKey.ToString());
        FiddlerObject.log("Subject: " + oCert.Subject);
        CertMaker.StoreCert("wdtest.casepacer.com", oCert);
        FiddlerObject.log("Main - End StoreCerts");
        var test = CertMaker.FindCert("wdtest.casepacer.com")
        FiddlerObject.log("FriendlyName: " + test.FriendlyName);
        FiddlerObject.log("Issuer: " + test.Issuer);
```

The output I get is this:

```

17:25:45:1722 Main - Start StoreCerts

17:25:45:1722 Issuer: CN=DO_NOT_TRUST_FiddlerRoot, O=DO_NOT_TRUST, OU=Created by http://www.fiddler2.com

```

I added the loggers so that I could verify that it was correctly reading the cert (which it is), and that it has the private key (which it does). This is the same key I'm using on my IIS instance on the same machine, so I know it works. However, when I try to connect, or as you can see in the script when I tell it to FindCert(), It gets the DO_NOT_TRUST cert instead of the one I'm trying to add/specify.

I've even tried deleting the DO_NOT_TRUST certs, but it just recreates them. Why won't it use the cert I'm loading?

Thanks in advance,

David

We have a small program created for us that we install locally on windows. I don't have access to the code or database. 

When I log in, Fiddler detects some traffic, but detects nothing while using the program. It most certainly is posting and fetching data from remote servers. Why would Fiddler not see this traffic?

I know I haven't provided a ton of info but perhaps there are some things I can look out for?

Hi, I would like to report a bug in the Fiddler4.

I've attached a stack trace which is meaningful and sufficient in my opinion.

The issue was discovered over heavy usage of http post method.

 

Affected version: Telerik Fiddler Web Debugger (v4.6.3.44034) 64-bit AMD64

I've used Fiddler sometime last year when Fiddler 2 existed. I decided the re download it for a project and was introduced to "Fiddler 4". Now with this new one there's a "read only" at the right bottom and I'm trying to figure out how can I disable that so I'll be able to use "break on response" etc
