What is the equivalent of Fiddler for Android?
I'm looking for an Android app that'll allow me to monitor http requests made from my device and act upon them (ie I want it to capture the user's requests and redirect them where I want). Something like Fiddler on the PC.
The closest I've found is fiddler, but it doesn't do what I want it to (ie captures the requests and responds with the "magic word"). Thanks in advance! Alex. I recently wrote up this post detailing a tool that will be your new best friend on your mobile!
What can be used instead of Wireshark?
I have used tcpdump and a little bit of bash scripting to make things easy.
To view the traffic going over your interface, you can do: tcpdump -i enp0s3 -v -w - -i tells tcpdump to use the interface name enp0s3. The second argument tells tcpdump to only display packets that are not part of a group of packets with a length in the first two hexadecimal characters (eg "00" in "00 00 00" is not displayed, but "00 00 01" would be). v tells tcpdump to display the packet headers.
The next two arguments tells tcpdump to only look for packets that are not part of a group of packets with a length in the first two hexadecimal characters (eg "00" in "00 00 00" is not displayed, but "00 00 01" would be). The first of these arguments is -v and the second is -g. g tells tcpdump to filter for groups with the contents "00". g means: look for packets that are part of a group where the length in the first two hexadecimal characters is "00" (note: not zero!
The next argument is -n. n tells tcpdump to not print the port number, so only the traffic for a single IP address is displayed.
Finally, the last two arguments tell tcpdump to only look for packets that are part of a group where the traffic is over TCP. The first is -p and the second is -l.
This gives me all traffic from a single IP address going over my interface enp0s3. To display the traffic over a specific hostname going over a specific interface, I use:
Is there a Wireshark for Android?
Yes, you read it correctly.
We have an official Wireshark application for Android now. If you are a developer or just in love with capturing and analyzing network packets, then you can now run wireshark in your smartphone.
Wireshark does this really good as it doesn't require root access and supports all capture types like tcp, udp, etc. So we did some great research and spent time to build an app named Wireshark Pro Android that will allow you to analyze the network packets at no cost. It is much less compared to Wireshark app, and it's free from now.
Why I wanted to create this app. When someone comes to ask ?, usually my answer is No. At that time I felt really bad to tell them the truth as I do love Wireshark, but I just couldn't find an ideal solution for their needs on Android platform.
Since last week I started looking into the Wireshark to find out the best way to convert it into an app to satisfy the needs of the users. Finally, I found my long waited Wireshark app, and I decided to share this news. I would also like to ask every Android users if they really need Wireshark if it's free and awesome already.
The concept behind Wireshark Pro. Wireshark Pro Android will bring together different features from Wireshark Android application, and it will give you more value from that software. Let me talk more about it. It comes with all features of wireshark pro and is much easier to use with much faster analysis. # We are now giving you more value at this cost. # If you're someone who is in love with Wireshark, you should give it a try to find it's hidden treasures. # We worked hard to add many important features to it so you don't have to worry about it. # We are providing regular support and updates to fix any bug or security risk.
