traffic-inspector - Standalone transparent HTTP/HTTPS proxy and stream

项目说明

📡 Traffic Inspector Standalone Lab

A standalone, lightweight HTTP/HTTPS transparent proxy and traffic inspection tool designed for educational purposes, defensi research, and protocol analysis.

Traffic Inspector intercepts, decrypts, and logs web traffic metadata without modifying, injecting, or altering communications. It provides local dashboard and control panel interfaces to processed network streams and inspect plaintext credentials on the wire.

🌟 Core Features

Transparent HTTP/HTTPS Decryption: Terminates TLS streams dynamically using a dynamically generated local Root Certificate Authority (Root CA) to inspect encrypted payloads.

Plaintext Credential Extraction: Automatically parses Authorization: Basic headers and application/x-www-form-urlencoded request bodies for credentials.

Local Control Panel: Hosted locally at , li logs and parsed credentials in real-time.

Client-Facing Certificate Download: Hosted at , allowing target testing devices to download the Root CA cert and follow simple trust setup steps.

Rotational File Logging: Outputs traffic streams to structured JSON Lines logs (logs/traffic.jsonl and logs/credentials.jsonl) for forensic auditing.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Installation

Install the dependencies:

Alternatively, install the package in editable mode to register the traffic-inspector executable command globally:

2. Configuration

Initialize the default config file:

This creates config/traffic-inspector.yml. You can copy .en to .env to o specific en .

3.

that your configuration loads correctly:

4. Running the Proxy

Start the listeners:

You will be greeted with a legal warning. Type YES I UNDERSTAND to proceed (or skip using the -y flag if starting in automated en).

Client Dashboard: Browse to download the CA certificate.

Admin Control Panel: Browse to view li logs.

📡 Local Transparent Redirection (Linux)

To inspect traffic from the local host transparently (or if this machine is configured as a network gateway/router), enable IP forwarding and configure iptables to redirect ports 80 and 443 into the proxy's transparent ports:

🛡️ Educational Purpose & Disclaimer

This tool is intended for defensi audits, penetration testing , and security training. It must only be used on targets where you possess explicit, written authorization. All logged events are stored locally on the hosting machine, pre external data leaks.
