How to avoid being detected by the browser when using Fiddler Everywhere for man-in-the-middle reading?

Challenge of Secure Man-in-the-middle interception with Fiddler Everywhere

When using Fiddler Everywhere for man-in-the-middle interception, you often encounter browser security warnings because many websites enable the HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) protocol to force secure connections. Fiddler's root certificate triggers these warnings, blocking access.

Problem description

When trying to catch packets with Fiddler Everywhere, you may encounter similar errors: the browser prompts that it is not possible to connect to the website safely, points out that the Fiddler root certificate is causing a problem, and recommends disabling the HTTPS scanning feature of the antivirus software or contacting the IT department.

Limitations of common solutions

Commonly recommended solutions, such as:

1. Disable Fiddler Everywhere: This cannot meet the packet capture needs.
2. Delete the Fiddler root certificate: This will prevent Fiddler from working.
3. Disable antivirus HTTPS scanning: Reduce system security.
4. Contact IT: Not all scenarios apply.

None of these methods can effectively solve the core problem of man-in-the-middle interception without being detected.

Difficulty to bypass security mechanisms

Bypassing the browser security mechanism is not easy. Many websites and browsers have anti-intermediate interception mechanisms. To successfully bypass, new security vulnerabilities need to be discovered and exploited, which requires a high level of technology and a deep understanding of security mechanisms.

Risk warning

Trying to bypass security measures in modern browsers is very difficult and risky. Before performing such operations, be sure to fully understand the potential risks and consequences and comply with relevant laws and regulations. It is not recommended to try to bypass these security mechanisms in order to catch packets unless you have sufficient expertise and authorization.
