mitmdump: Start a proxy and save all output to a file.
$ mitmdump -w ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "mitmdump -w ${filename}" is used to run the mitmdump tool with a given filename to store the captured network traffic. Here is the breakdown of the command: - mitmdump: It is the command used to run the mitmdump tool, a command-line interface for the mitmproxy tool which allows intercepting and modifying HTTP and HTTPS traffic. - -w: It is a flag or option that specifies that the captured traffic should be written to a file. - ${filename}: It is a placeholder for the name of the file where the captured traffic will be stored. You need to replace ${filename} with the actual name of the file you want to use. When you execute the command, mitmdump will start capturing network traffic on the specified interface (or all interfaces) and write the captured data to the file specified by ${filename}, storing it for later analysis or processing.
