mitmweb: Start `mitmweb` bound to a custom address and port.
$ mitmweb --listen-host ${ip_address} --listen-port ${port}
try on your machine
The command you provided is for running a tool called "mitmweb" with specific parameters.
Here's what each parameter does:
- "mitmweb" is a command that launches a web-based interface for a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) proxy tool called "mitmproxy". It allows you to inspect and manipulate HTTP/HTTPS traffic between a client and a server.
- "--listen-host" specifies the IP address (in this case, represented by "${ip_address}") for mitmweb to listen on. This is the IP address of the network interface where the proxy tool will capture and intercept network traffic.
- "${ip_address}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual IP address you want to use.
- "--listen-port" specifies the port number (in this case, represented by "${port}") on which mitmweb will listen. This is the port where the proxy tool will receive and handle the intercepted traffic.
- "${port}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual port number you want to use.
By providing the appropriate IP address and port number in place of the placeholders, executing this command will start mitmweb and configure it to listen for traffic on the specified IP address and port.
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and
never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
