When I've used this in the past, it worked better than any other app. I downloaded this app on my new device, and it will not create the certificate you need to capture data.

This handy app allowed me to determine that some apps were authenticating 'in the clear' without encryption. I've secured those apps. Thanks!

When trying to install certificate it just shows an error Toast without offering a solution. What the hell 😡?

Simple yet efficient. How do you clear previous packet captured?

I gave it 2 stars because it does show when certain apps poll server for updates. Took off star for vpn it uses took 5 min to send plaintext "hi" text using phone messanger(app didn't capture text) Took off 2 stars for Not a single packet was captured with actual information, not even packet headers...

This really did the job that nothing else could when I was trying to log the network activity of an app on my phone. It logged every request and response, exactly what I needed. Bravo!

About this app

Packet capture/Network traffic sniffer app with SSL decryption.
Not that feature rich yet, but it's a powerful debugging tool especially when developing an app.

If you can't capture your app's SSL packets

Do one of the followings:

- Set targetSDKversion to 23 or lower

- Setup security config described as 'The default configuration for apps targeting Android 6.0 (API level 23) and lower' at
https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-config.html#base-config

Features
- Capture network packets and record them.
- SSL decryption using man-in-the-middle technique.
- No root required.
- Easy to use.
- Show packet in either hex or text.

You don't need to setup a dedicated proxy server on your PC. All you need is just your Android device.
