There are several ios simulators which are using only one ethernet interface of the host.
I want to use proxy for each of them.
I use mitmproxy as a proxy and proxy.pac for redirect only needed URL to mitmproxy port.
I have an idea to use some instrument to redirect each request with unique header corresponding to port.
Thus, a request with id=1 will redirect to port 8888, id=2 to port 8889, so on.
I appreciate if you tell me how?

I have a basic web application running on a port in an EC2 instance. I have also created an A record in Route53 which points a domain name that I own towards the ip address of the EC2 instance.
When I directly access ip-address:port, it works fine, but because the a record does not point towards that specific port, the website cannot be accessed through the domain name.
How do I specify a port that all requests to that ip address should be routed to?
port is referenced by protocol you are using.
if you use http you will connect to port 80. https uses 443, ftp 21, smtp 25 and there are many others (they are called default ports for service but they may use every other defined).
You are probably running application, listening on some different port (but using protocol http) and that's why you can reach it by entering http://ip-address:port
what you can do to reach it by entering only http://ip-address is to set it to listen on port 80 (you will need root privileges to do this) or set redirect from port 80 to your applications port (you can use pure port redirection using iptables or (better) reverse proxy software. It can be apache as mentioned in comment above, or nginx or haproxy or something else (you haven't specified operating system anyway - those are mainly for linux).
Hope that helps
I installed Wireshark on macOS High Sierra and captured some network trafic while making HTTP calls to a local server using CURL.
The traffic captured in wireshark only showed TCP packets. When looking at the data whitin the TCP packets I could see the HTTP packets, but these were not recognized by Wireshark as the packet protocol.
Any way to make it properly parse the HTTP packets?
Here's an example capture:
One guess I had was that Wireshark only recognises a packet as HTTP if it's on port 80. If this is so, is there any way to change this setting?
P.S. No HTTPS involved here, just plane old HTTP from a client to a REST API.
Ok, figured out the issue.
My server was exposed on port 5000 (which is the default Flask port).
Turns out that port 5000 is conventionally used for IPA packets, which is a GSM over IP protocol. Wireshark aparently used the port number to determine the type of packet, and so it misclasified it as an IPA packet.
Once I moved my server to another port (e.g. 5001) - the problem was gone.
P.S. See https://osqa-ask.wireshark.org/questions/9240/data-which-has-been-sent-over-tcpip-has-been-recognized-by-wireshark-as-ipa-protocol for more details.
To supplement #MartanRubin's answer, it's also possible to indicate to WireShark that port 5000 is not GSM over IP. In Edit → Preferences → Protocols → GSM over IP remove port 5000 from the "TCP port(s)" field:
To persist the preference you also need to add 5000 to HTTP protocol "TCP port(s)" field. Then they survive restart (tested in a custom profile). Note however, that when you open GSM over IP protocol's preferences, 5000 is still there, but doesn't have effect. But when I save it (click OK button), my /home/user/.config/wireshark/profiles/CustomProfile/decode_as_entries gets messed up again, and I need to repeat the process on both protocol's "TCP port(s)" field. A counter-intuitive UI, I would say.
Short version of the need:
Pass all traffic of a specific port (TCP) via a proxy
It should be an HTTP proxy with port 8000
Description
I have an application that needs to reach an external IP with a specific port (TCP). But the standard corporate network blocks outbound traffic to this port.
I can, however, access that port when working with the corporate HTTP proxy that works on port 8000.
Alas, my application does not have any proxy settings, and IE's proxy settings are irrelevant.
Port forwarding and tunneling won't do me any good (already tried netsh anyway), since I need not only to reach the proxy, but I need it to actually function as a proxy.
Can anyone recommend on a method / software that will allow me to pass all traffic to port X via a proxy?
It has to be the traffic of a specific port, since there is a web server installed on that machine and I don't want to temper with it.
Thank you!
Windows doesn't route by port. The real answer is send the traffic to a firewall or layer 3 device that can route by port.
But,
If you know the ip address of the destination you could force that traffic to the proxy if the proxy address is on the same subnet. If it's not on the same subnet your computer will try to send the traffic to that as a gateway but it won't be avaiable (it won't be routed). But, it's so simple it's worth a try.
Example....
Computer 192.168.1.10, 255.255.255.0
Proxy 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0
Destination IP. 68.68.68.68
route add -p 'destination ip' 'destination subnet range' 'where to send traffic, normally the next hop gateway'
Using example addresses (replace the two addreses with yours but keep 255.255.255.255)
Open Command prompt as administrator, Type route add -p 68.68.68.68 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.254
Using 255.255.255.255 forces it to only route one address.
-p will make the route stay after a reboot.
If it doesn't work you can remove the route simply route delete 'destination ip'
Route delete 68.68.68.68
For a typical HTTP request how does Windows determine what port to send the request from and is it possible to choose a certain port?
If you are typing this into a browser, the browser is picking the port or it is automatically assigned by the operating system. If you are using C language, you can specify the port for an HTTP request when you bind to the IP address. The IP:Port combination is unique and can't be used by more than one program. Maybe you are trying to select the destination port. In a browser URL, you would type example.com:8080 to select the destination port. Please give more background information.
I'm trying to use Fiddler to capture traffic that comes to my machine on its external ip address, and redirect it to the loopback interface without affecting the host header.
I have added the following to the OnBeforeRequest method:
if (oSession.HostnameIs("MyMachineName")){
oSession.bypassGateway = true;
oSession["x-overrideHost"] = "localhost";
}
This works fine for http traffic: I do indeed see a request to http://MyMachineName hit the loopback adaptor with its host header intact.
However, when intercepting https traffic I get the following in the response raw view:
fiddler.network.https> HTTPS handshake to auth.time-wise.net failed. System.IO.IOException The handshake failed due to an unexpected packet format.
I have Fiddler configured to capture and decrypt https traffic.
Does anyone know why this problem occurs and how it can be remedied?
Edit: in response to Eric's request for more information
Fiddler is running as a proxy (i.e. as standard), listening on port 8888.
The clients are (currently) web browsers on the same machine, and so are automatically using the Fiddler proxy, as they've picked up the change in default proxy.
You've left out some important details (e.g. what port is Fiddler running on, and how did you configure the remote client to send its traffic to Fiddler?)
Having said that, you will probably want to change your use of x-overrideHost to x-overrideHostname such that the port number of the traffic being retargeted is preserved.
