prototype-pollution-explained VS mitmproxy

If you already know your NMAP command and switches, you can look up these sources to search what exploit to use depending on what port is open: - https://snyk.io/vuln/ - https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-search.php - https://cve.mitre.org/cve/search_cve_list.html - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search - https://www.rapid7.com/db/

This statement gives a false sense of security. You can use a transparent proxy, like mitmproxy, to view HTTPS traffic - https://mitmproxy.org/. https://reedmideke.github.io/networking/2021/01/04/mitmproxy-openwrt.html

You'll need to install mitmproxy and set it up on your computer and iOS. I won't go into too much detail here on how to do this, but there are plenty of guides available. This is a pretty good one: https://nadav.ca/2021/02/26/inspecting-an-iphone-s-https-traffic/

TIL this goes back to 2006, how cool! We nowadays have a much simpler version as a mitmproxy example: https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/main/examples/ad.... Although it obviously does not work as well anymore with everything being HTTPS nowadays (unless you trust the cert of course). :)

Perhaps you could have your device use a proxy that can do the HTTPS unwrap for you? https://mitmproxy.org/ maybe?

A great way to test the effectiveness of a pinning implementation is by simulating an MITM attack. Tools like Mitmproxy or Wireshack allow us to create a test environment to monitor, intercept, and proxy network requests for a test host.
