Hello,

 

I'm trying to capture HTTPS traffic made by a command line application I run on the cmd terminal.

I'm using Windows 10, proxy is defined and I capture all communication done from browsers or other applications, but don't see anything when I run this app (which I know for a fact does HTTPS communication).

Am I missing something? Should I define the proxy differently? Please assist.

 

Best,

Segev.

Hi Segev Dagan,

 

How is your CLI application creating HTTPS requests? Depending on what technology stack is used there might be different solutions. For example, check here for how to enable capturing traffic from WinHTTP application (in the same documentation you will find many extra steps for enabling the capturing on different applications/frameworks).

Hi Nick, thank you very much for your answer.

It is a golang CLI app which is bound to OpenSSL via this package https://github.com/spacemonkeygo/openssl .

I have not find a way to configure a proxy through this package's API, and am wondering if I could configure OpenSSL to always run through a proxy for every app which uses it, or something of that sort.

Thanks again for your answer, it's much appreciated.

Best,

Segev.

Hi Segev Dagan,

 

It seems that setting a proxy when using OpenSSL is not a trivial job. You could check this SO thread for some directions on how to proceed (note there are different solutions based on the version of SSL used on your side).
