WebScarab
OWASP Webscarab gets between your browser and your server (and reports on the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) conversations going back and forth). It can also deal with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). This is a higher level, more convenient, interface than the Ethernet IP (Internet Protocol) packet level, but less general. It is written in pure Java and hence will run on any platform. If you have your jar extension set up correctly, all you need to do is click the downloaded jar to run. You don’t need any sort of install, since it has a Main-Class entry in the manifest. It has no instructions. Here is are the two tricks to making it work:
  1. Set up the proxy to localhost:8009, not to the port you are trying to snoop on.
  2. You need to open a session by clicking on File ⇒ New before WebScarab starts to capture things.

If you want your message, your name or email kept confidential, not considered for public posting, please explicitly specify that. Unless you state otherwise, I will treat your message as a letter to the editor that I may or may not publish in the feedback section. After that, it will be too late to retract it. If you disagree with something I said, especially when sending an ad-hominem attack, a rant composed mainly of obscenities or a death threat, please quote the offending passage and cite the web page where you found it, tell me why you think it is wrong, and, if possible, provide some supporting evidence. I can’t very well fix erroneous or ambiguous text if I can’t find it.
