--options Show all options and their default values
--commands Show all commands and their signatures
--set option[=value] Set an option. When the value is omitted, booleans are set to true,
strings and integers are set to None (if permitted), and sequences are
emptied. Boolean values can be true, false or toggle. Sequences are set
using multiple invocations to set for the same option.
-q, --quiet Quiet.
-v, --verbose Increase log verbosity.
--mode, -m MODE The proxy server type(s) to spawn. Can be passed multiple times. Mitmproxy
supports "regular" (HTTP), "local", "transparent", "socks5",
"reverse:SPEC", "upstream:SPEC", and "wireguard[:PATH]" proxy servers. For
reverse and upstream proxy modes, SPEC is host specification in the form
of "http[s]://host[:port]". For WireGuard mode, PATH may point to a file
containing key material. If no such file exists, it will be created on
startup. You may append `@listen_port` or `@listen_host:listen_port` to
override `listen_host` or `listen_port` for a specific proxy mode.
Features such as client playback will use the first mode to determine
which upstream server to use. May be passed multiple times.
--no-anticache
--anticache Strip out request headers that might cause the server to return 304-not-
modified.
--no-showhost
--showhost Use the Host header to construct URLs for display. This option is disabled
by default because malicious apps may send misleading host headers to
evade your analysis. If this is not a concern, enable this options for
better flow display.
--no-show-ignored-hosts
--show-ignored-hosts Record ignored flows in the UI even if we do not perform TLS interception.
This option will keep ignored flows' contents in memory, which can greatly
increase memory usage. A future release will fix this issue, record
ignored flows by default, and remove this option.
--rfile, -r PATH Read flows from file.
--scripts, -s SCRIPT Execute a script. May be passed multiple times.
--stickycookie FILTER
Set sticky cookie filter. Matched against requests.
--stickyauth FILTER Set sticky auth filter. Matched against requests.
--save-stream-file, -w PATH
Stream flows to file as they arrive. Prefix path with + to append. The
full path can use python strftime() formatting, missing directories are
created as needed. A new file is opened every time the formatted string
changes.
--no-anticomp
--anticomp Try to convince servers to send us un-compressed data.
Mitmweb:
--no-web-open-browser
--web-open-browser Start a browser.
--web-port PORT Web UI port.
--web-host HOST Web UI host.
Proxy Options:
--listen-host HOST Address to bind proxy server(s) to (may be overridden for individual
modes, see `mode`).
--listen-port, -p PORT
Port to bind proxy server(s) to (may be overridden for individual modes,
see `mode`). By default, the port is mode-specific. The default regular
HTTP proxy spawns on port 8080.
--no-server, -n
--server Start a proxy server. Enabled by default.
--ignore-hosts HOST Ignore host and forward all traffic without processing it. In transparent
mode, it is recommended to use an IP address (range), not the hostname. In
regular mode, only SSL traffic is ignored and the hostname should be used.
The supplied value is interpreted as a regular expression and matched on
the ip or the hostname. May be passed multiple times.
--allow-hosts HOST Opposite of --ignore-hosts. May be passed multiple times.
--tcp-hosts HOST Generic TCP SSL proxy mode for all hosts that match the pattern. Similar
to --ignore-hosts, but SSL connections are intercepted. The communication
contents are printed to the log in verbose mode. May be passed multiple
times.
--upstream-auth USER:PASS
Add HTTP Basic authentication to upstream proxy and reverse proxy
requests. Format: username:password.
--proxyauth SPEC Require proxy authentication. Format: "username:pass", "any" to accept any
user/pass combination, "@path" to use an Apache htpasswd file, or "ldap[s]
:url_server_ldap[:port]:dn_auth:password:dn_subtree[?search_filter_key=...
]" for LDAP authentication.
--no-store-streamed-bodies
--store-streamed-bodies
Store HTTP request and response bodies when streamed (see
`stream_large_bodies`). This increases memory consumption, but makes it
possible to inspect streamed bodies.
--no-rawtcp
--rawtcp Enable/disable raw TCP connections. TCP connections are enabled by
default.
--no-http2
--http2 Enable/disable HTTP/2 support. HTTP/2 support is enabled by default.
SSL:
--certs SPEC SSL certificates of the form "[domain=]path". The domain may include a
wildcard, and is equal to "*" if not specified. The file at path is a
certificate in PEM format. If a private key is included in the PEM, it is
used, else the default key in the conf dir is used. The PEM file should
contain the full certificate chain, with the leaf certificate as the first
entry. May be passed multiple times.
--cert-passphrase PASS
Passphrase for decrypting the private key provided in the --cert option.
Note that passing cert_passphrase on the command line makes your
passphrase visible in your system's process list. Specify it in
config.yaml to avoid this.
--no-ssl-insecure
--ssl-insecure, -k Do not verify upstream server SSL/TLS certificates. If this option is
enabled, certificate validation is skipped and mitmproxy itself will be
vulnerable to TLS interception.
--no-emudhra
--emudhra Sign certificates with a compromised eMudhra intermediate CA key.
--no-emudhra-old
--emudhra-old Like --emudhra, but prioritize the Sectigo AAA Certificate Services cross-
sign for older OpenSSL trust stores.
Client Replay:
--client-replay, -C PATH
Replay client requests from a saved file. May be passed multiple times.
Server Replay:
--server-replay, -S PATH
Replay server responses from a saved file. May be passed multiple times.
--no-server-replay-kill-extra
--server-replay-kill-extra
Kill extra requests during replay (for which no replayable response was
found).[Deprecated, prefer to use server_replay_extra='kill']
--server-replay-extra {forward,kill,204,400,404,500}
Behaviour for extra requests during replay for which no replayable
response was found. Setting a numeric string value will return an empty
HTTP response with the respective status code.
--no-server-replay-reuse
--server-replay-reuse
Don't remove flows from server replay state after use. This makes it
possible to replay same response multiple times.
--no-server-replay-refresh
--server-replay-refresh
Refresh server replay responses by adjusting date, expires and last-
modified headers, as well as adjusting cookie expiration.
Map Remote:
--map-remote, -M PATTERN
Map remote resources to another remote URL using a pattern of the form
"[/flow-filter]/url-regex/replacement", where the separator can be any
character. May be passed multiple times.
Map Local:
--map-local PATTERN Map remote resources to a local file using a pattern of the form "[/flow-
filter]/url-regex/file-or-directory-path", where the separator can be any
character. May be passed multiple times.
Modify Body:
--modify-body, -B PATTERN
Replacement pattern of the form "[/flow-filter]/regex/[@]replacement",
where the separator can be any character. The @ allows to provide a file
path that is used to read the replacement string. May be passed multiple
times.
Modify Headers:
--modify-headers, -H PATTERN
Header modify pattern of the form "[/flow-filter]/header-name/[@]header-
value", where the separator can be any character. The @ allows to provide
a file path that is used to read the header value string. An empty header-
value removes existing header-name headers. May be passed multiple times.
Filters:
See help in mitmproxy for filter expression syntax.
--intercept FILTER Intercept filter expression.
