Too Long; Didn't Read

In this article, I will tell you what role the HTTP/HTTPS sniffer plays in data parsing and why it is very important. What is important to note is that all of the above material is relevant only if there is access to the user's device. This is needed to install a certificate, which is necessary to decrypt web traffic. This device can be your own computer, for example, to test the security of the requests sent between your computer and a web server. You also need to configure your web browser to reroute traffic through the sniffer.
