post	Using charles proxy to monitor mobile SSL traffics	2016-10-27 22:50:33 -0400	Network

In this blog, I will generally talk about how to use proper tools to monitor SSL traffics of a mobile devices. Currently, I only can dealing with those SSL traffics which use an obviously certification. Some applications may not using system root cert or they doesn't provide us a method to modify their own certs. For these situation, I still didn't find a good solutions for it. But I'll keep updating this if I get one.
My current solution is using AP to forward all SSL traffic to a proxy, charles proxy is my first choice (Prof asked). It's a non-free software which still update new versions now. So mainly, I'll talk about how to charles SSL proxy.
