Note that mitmproxy, which requires a Python install, is not necessary to monitor what is being sent out from your computing device.

The same results can be achieved using only socat and the openssl binary.

While I understand the terminology is popular, I would not call this "reverse-engineering"; to me this is simply viewing your own traffic.

I believe users have a right to see the traffic they (or the apps they use) are sending, and for security reasons alone they should monitor what is being sent. https plus third party CA usage complicates such transparency, making proxying techniques necessary.

I wish more users would view their own traffic.

Keep up the good work.
