Transparent Proxying
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
When a transparent proxy is used, traffic is redirected into a proxy at the
|
|
network layer, without any client configuration being required. This makes
|
|
transparent proxying ideal for those situations where you can't change client
|
|
behaviour - proxy-oblivious Android applications being a common example.
|
|
|
|
To set up transparent proxying, we need two new components. The first is a
|
|
redirection mechanism that transparently reroutes a TCP connection destined for
|
|
a server on the Internet to a listening proxy server. This usually takes the
|
|
form of a firewall on the same host as the proxy server - iptables_ on Linux
|
|
or pf_ on OSX. When the proxy receives a redirected connection, it sees a vanilla
|
|
HTTP request, without a host specification. This is where the second new component
|
|
comes in - a host module that allows us to query the redirector for the original
|
|
destination of the TCP connection.
|
|
|
|
At the moment, mitmproxy supports transparent proxying on OSX Lion and above,
|
|
and all current flavors of Linux.
|
|
|
|
Fully transparent mode
|
|
=======
|
|
By default mitmproxy will use its own local ip address for its server-side connections.
|
|
In case this isn't desired, the --spoof-source-address argument can be used to
|
|
use the client's ip address for server-side connections. The following config is
|
|
required for this mode to work:
|
|
|
|
CLIENT_NET=192.168.1.0/24
|
|
TABLE_ID=100
|
|
MARK=1
|
|
|
|
echo "$TABLE_ID mitmproxy" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
|
|
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -d $CLIENT_NET -j MARK --set-mark $MARK
|
|
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s $CLIENT_NET --match multiport --dports 80,443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
|
|
|
|
ip rule add fwmark $MARK lookup $TABLE_ID
|
|
ip route add local $CLIENT_NET dev lo table $TABLE_ID
|
|
|
|
This mode does require root privileges though. There's a wrapper in the examples directory
|
|
called 'mitmproxy_shim.c', which will enable you to use this mode with dropped priviliges.
|
|
It can be used as follows:
|
|
|
|
gcc examples/mitmproxy_shim.c -o mitmproxy_shim -lcap
|
|
sudo chown root:root mitmproxy_shim
|
|
sudo chmod u+s mitmproxy_shim
|
|
./mitmproxy_shim $(which mitmproxy) -T --spoof-source-address
