NetGaze uses mitmproxy as a man-in-the-middle (MITM) proxy to capture and analyze network traffic. The tool leverages ADB to configure the Android device to route traffic through the proxy without requiring root access. Here's a high-level overview:
- mitmproxy acts as an intermediary between the Android device and the internet.
- ADB is used to set up the device's network settings to route traffic through the proxy.
- NetGaze provides a user-friendly interface to start/stop capturing, view live traffic, and export logs for further analysis.
- Android device running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher.
- Python 3.x installed on your computer.
- mitmproxy installed (
pip install mitmproxy). - ADB installed and configured on your computer.
- Basic knowledge of Android development and networking.
