Man-in-the-middle proxy with customizable options.

👨‍💻 mitm

A customizable man-in-the-middle TCP proxy with out-of-the-box support for HTTP & HTTPS.

Installing

pip install mitm

Note that OpenSSL 1.1.1 or greater is required.

Documentation

Documentation can be found here.

Using

Using the default values for the MITM class:

from mitm import MITM, protocol, middleware, crypto

mitm = MITM(
    host="127.0.0.1",
    port=8888,
    protocols=[protocol.HTTP],
    middlewares=[middleware.Log],
    buffer_size=8192,
    timeout=5,
    ssl_context=crypto.mitm_ssl_default_context(),
)
mitm.run()

This will start a proxy on port 8888 that is capable of intercepting all HTTP traffic (with support for CONNECT), and log all activity.

Protocols

mitm comes with a set of built-in protocols, and a way to add your own. Protocols and are used to implement custom application-layer protocols that interpret and route traffic. Out-of-the-box HTTP is available.

Middlewares

Middleware are used to implement event-driven behavior as it relates to the client and server connection. Out-of-the-box Log is available.

Example

Using the example above we can send a request to the server via another script:

import requests

proxies = {"http": "http://127.0.0.1:8888", "https": "http://127.0.0.1:8888"}
requests.get("https://httpbin.org/anything", proxies=proxies, verify=False)

Which will lead to the following being logged where mitm is running in:
