Paros Proxy - a Fiddler-like debugging proxy in Java

I have been looking for a cross-platform replacement for Fiddler for some time now. Today I stumbled upon Paros, which was written in Java and therefore should run on most Java-capable platforms without modification. Paros is not on par with Fiddler's feature set (and its development has been stalled for the last two years), but it's good enough for capturing/monitoring HTTP traffic on both Linux and Mac OS X.

Fiddler-like debugging proxy in Java

Membrane Monitor is also an open source debugging proxy written in Java. It has more features as TCPmon like XML formatting, URL rewriting and routing. The commandline version will run on amlost any computer. The GUI is based on elipse RCP and therefore not completely cross-plattform. There is a Linux binary version for download and they will release a Mac version to.

Re: Fiddler-like debugging proxy in Java

Thanks for the link! Seems like an interesting alternative. I wonder if there'll be a DEB (Debian/Ubuntu) package anywhere near soon. Smile

Its a fork of Paros, and being actively maintained.
Hope you like it.

Re: OWASP Zed Attack Proxy

Thanks for the link. I've been using the Charles Debugging Proxy, but I'd prefer an open-source and free alternative. I've check out ZAP.
