#82There's a site I use that checks for membership only on the client side and I use requestly to spoof premium status. Just had to write a simple script like this to modify the response body of the request that gets membership status: function modifyResponse(args) { const {method, url, response, responseType, requestHeaders, requestData} = args; const responseDataParsed = JSON.parse(response); responseDataParsed.result…
This is clever. How was the experience with Modify API Response? Were you able to figure out everything on your own or Was there a learning curve?

#83How well does this work with websockets / rpc-json? (Ethereum nodes)

I've been building a list of apps and libraries in this space. In no particular order: https://requestly.io/ https://portswigger.net/burp https://dutzi.github.io/tamper/ https://anyproxy.io/en/ https://wproxy.org/whistle/ https://www.telerik.com/fiddler https://github.com/alibaba/lightproxy https://httptoolkit.tech/ https://mitmproxy.org/ https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SslPeekAndSplice https://www.charlesproxy…
great collection. You can also create a Github awesome repo collection like awesome-requests-proxy-tools
UPDATE: did that myself, but wish someone takes over. I only check for new and better stuff once in 3 years. The community deserves someone better.

#85I'm interested in this for its potential reverse engineering apps on Android. I've had some success with `mitmproxy` but I'm wondering what other HN-ers use for this purpose.
- Android device running Android 10 (generally using older versions is better) - Magisk for root + Trust User Certificates module - mitmproxy (sometimes using mitmweb) - ProxyDroid to connect to mitmproxy - Frida with a one of a handful open source SSL pinning bypass scripts (and a custom one at work)
When network requests aren't enough, I reach for JADX-GUI for decompilation and Frida (REPL and custom scripts) for extracting data at runtime (taking the necessary "cleanroom" precautions for commercial projects).

#86Actually using it, however, I was completely lost. The way groups work was completely unintuitive and it took me way too long to figure out how to even enable a rule. I ended up writing an ad-hoc extension because it was easier than figuring out a whole new tool.
Still, it looks like a really powerful tool and a lot of people on my team swear by it, so congrats!
