mitmproxy: Start `mitmproxy` using a script to process traffic.
$ mitmproxy --scripts ${path-to-script-py}
try on your machine

This command is used to run the mitmproxy tool with a specified Python script.

Let's break down the components of this command:

  • mitmproxy: This is the actual command to run mitmproxy, which is a versatile proxy tool used for intercepting, modifying, and inspecting HTTP/HTTPS traffic.

  • --scripts: This is an option flag provided by mitmproxy that allows you to specify a Python script to be executed during the proxy session.

  • ${path-to-script-py}: This is a placeholder representing the actual path to the Python script file that you want to execute with mitmproxy. You need to replace it with the appropriate path to your script file.

By running this command, mitmproxy will be launched, and the specified Python script will be executed or loaded during the proxy session. The script can be used to customize how mitmproxy handles intercepted traffic, such as modifying requests and responses, adding custom functionality, or performing additional analysis.
