A powerful program for analyzing traffic is FiddlerCap. While it is great, it is rather complicated to use due to its impressive features.
If you don't have software that logs all local and remote connections, you can't see what happens when you connect to a website or run a program that connects to the Internet.
The company that created the product also created FiddlerCap as a plug-in for Fiddler. You can use it on its own without using Fiddler and it is specifically designed for novice users who can save web sessions with just a few clicks.
The program displays a basic interface upon startup that can be used to start, stop, and save captures. It displays many options in the interface that you can modify before starting a session.
This includes either HTTPS traffic that needs to be decrypted or cookies stored. The program works automatically in browsers that use the Windows System Proxy, including Internet Explorer , Google Chrome , and most Chrome -based browsers .
Firefox users should make sure that the “ use system proxy settings ” option is enabled in the browser.
All web traffic is captured by FiddlerCap as soon as you click the start button. You can view details about the captured traffic by clicking the Details button.
Users have the option to create screenshots,which are added to the log automatically. Other options include clearing cookies or cache.
Once you are finished recording, you can save the log file to your system. Fiddler can load the file so that you can then analyze the traffic using the application.
The basic idea is for users to use FiddlerCap to create a log file and then upload it to Fiddler for analysis.
