Rotating symbol next to wifi symbol on status bar.

[fossil zephyr]

Some process is running in the background possibly eating up bandwidth or uploading data from my data to god knows where. Is there a way to find out what this process is and what is it downloading? I tried searching for a firewall for Ios 15 so that I can filter out connections but I could not find one. A firewall or a Network viewer should help find the culprit

mitm proxy it

[fossil zephyr]

haha I would need an intercepter for that

[worthy ether]

step 1. setup mitm proxy on ur pc: https://mitmproxy.org
step 2. run mitmweb
step 3. change proxy in phone settings
step 3.5. get mitm cert from http://mitm.it
step 4. view traffic
step 5. profit

[fossil zephyr]

wow, let me try that thanks

the rotating stopped before I was able to mitm unfortunately so I'm not going to know what that was until it happens again

I think it was because I had set HTTP proxy to automatic in the wifi settings it was trying to find a proxy or something, switched that back to off now

[worthy ether]

proxy has to be set to manual

[fossil zephyr]

I mean on the iphone not mac/pc

[worthy ether]

are you on mac or windows?

[fossil zephyr]

mac right now, but I have both next to me

[worthy ether]

which one is mitm proxy running on i should say

[fossil zephyr]

I have a tweak which shows more settings for wifi and has HTTP proxy so I was experimenting with that and set it to automatic, it was off, maybe that was the issue with the rotating symbol, it was searching for a proxy maybe

[fossil zephyr]

mac

just installed it with brew

[worthy ether]

find ur mac's ip address in wifi details

then put it here with port 8080

[fossil zephyr]

ok

done

[worthy ether]

try to visit http://mitm.it

[fossil zephyr]

from phone?

[worthy ether]

yep

[fossil zephyr]

ok

netfence just popped up asking if i want to allow the connection nice, i just installed it

[worthy ether]

the certificate is installed?

[fossil zephyr]

it says traffic is not passing through mitmproxy

[worthy ether]

well that’s not right

is mitmweb running?

[fossil zephyr]

I think i need to run the process on my mac first

trying to find the command to run it

ok mitmproxy start

clean my mac detected it as malware

[worthy ether]

macos when any software ever

[fossil zephyr]

so now I have mitmproxy running, its a blank screen and a Legend that shows some keyboard shortcuts

still says not passing through mitmproxy on phone

[worthy ether]

that’s mitm proxy

mitmweb is easier to use although i’m a windows user so idk how it works on mac

[fossil zephyr]

I can access it through the web using a mac

[worthy ether]

can you see this?

[fossil zephyr]

no, is that through the web or an app

[worthy ether]

the web

it should've installed 3 apps:

• mitmproxy
• mitmweb
• mitmdump

[fossil zephyr]

im installing web now

brew install mitmweb

and then installing the next one dump

Since the issue is resolved there is now no rotating symbol, then I will check out this mitm later and try to find video tutorials. For now I would like to proceed to my next task, jailbreaking my Nintendo Switch

[fossil zephyr]

I was going to follow a youtube video I watched yesterday which explained a method where the jailbreak would not break online play or any risk of ban playing online

https://youtu.be/iq38nfSZBT0
CFW EmuNAND which runs in parallel to the existing Nand

[worthy ether]

wait you can get banned for using a modded switch

crazy

[fossil zephyr]

yeah if you play online and they detect it they'll ban your device from playing online I think

the low quality jailbreak where it changes the existing files is not good, its highly detectable, this aussie guy explains that with his method there is no risk because its a separate nand running alongside the existing nand, the existing nand is not modified
