The first time __mitmproxy__ or __mitmdump__ is run, a set of certificate files
|
|
for the mitmproxy Certificate Authority are created in the config directory
|
|
(~/.mitmproxy by default). This CA is used for on-the-fly generation of dummy
|
|
certificates for SSL interception. Since your browser won't trust the
|
|
__mitmproxy__ CA out of the box (and rightly so), you will see an SSL cert
|
|
warning every time you visit a new SSL domain through __mitmproxy__. When
|
|
you're testing a single site through a browser, just accepting the bogus SSL
|
|
cert manually is not too much trouble, but there are a many circumstances where
|
|
you will want to configure your testing system or browser to trust the
|
|
__mitmproxy__ CA as a signing root authority.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CA and cert files
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The files created by mitmproxy in the .mitmproxy directory are as follows:
|
|
|
|
<table class="table">
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td class="nowrap">mitmproxy-ca.pem</td>
|
|
<td>The private key and certificate in PEM format.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td class="nowrap">mitmproxy-ca-cert.pem</td>
|
|
<td>The certificate in PEM format. Use this to distribute to most
|
|
non-Windows platforms.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td class="nowrap">mitmproxy-ca-cert.p12</td>
|
|
<td>The certificate in PKCS12 format. For use on Windows.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td class="nowrap">mitmproxy-ca-cert.cer</td>
|
|
<td>Same file as .pem, but with an extension expected by some Android
|
|
devices.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using a custom certificate
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can use your own certificate by passing the <kbd>--cert</kbd> option to mitmproxy. mitmproxy then uses the provided
|
|
certificate for interception of the specified domains instead of generating a cert signed by its own CA.
|
|
|
|
The certificate file is expected to be in the PEM format.
|
|
You can include intermediary certificates right below your leaf certificate, so that you PEM file roughly looks like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
|
|
<private key>
|
|
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
|
|
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
|
|
<cert>
|
|
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
|
|
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
|
|
<intermediary cert (optional)>
|
|
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
For example, you can generate a certificate in this format using these instructions:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="terminal">
|
|
> openssl genrsa -out cert.key 8192
|
|
> openssl req -new -x509 -key cert.key -out cert.crt
|
|
(Specify the mitm domain as Common Name, e.g. *.google.com)
|
|
> cat cert.key cert.crt > cert.pem
|
|
> mitmproxy --cert=cert.pem
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
Using a client side certificate
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
You can use a client certificate by passing the <kbd>--client-certs DIRECTORY</kbd> option to mitmproxy.
|
|
If you visit example.org, mitmproxy looks for a file named example.org.pem in the specified directory
|
|
and uses this as the client cert. The certificate file needs to be in the PEM format and should contain
|
|
both the unencrypted private key as well as the certificate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using a custom certificate authority
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
By default, mitmproxy will (generate and) use <samp>~/.mitmproxy/mitmproxy-ca.pem</samp> as the default certificate
|
|
authority to generate certificates for all domains for which no custom certificate is provided (see above).
|
|
You can use your own certificate authority by passing the <kbd>--confdir</kbd> option to mitmproxy.
|
|
mitmproxy will then look for <samp>mitmproxy-ca.pem</samp> in the specified directory. If no such file exists,
|
|
it will be generated automatically.
|
