SecretAgent is a Python-based tool that uses a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) technique to intercept and analyse HTTP and HTTPS traffic, boasting early-stage artificial intelligence integration to identify potential threats.
Acting as a local MITM proxy, SecretAgent functions as an intermediary, enabling it to decrypt HTTPS sessions in real-time, providing analysts with access to information such as domains and IPs, headers and metadata, and URL paths and query strings.
This tool can prove crucial to analysts when examining malware-infected systems or when identifying data exfiltration attempts.
As more systems adopt encryption, tools such as SecretAgent that allow analysts to scrutinise encrypted traffic are becoming increasingly indispensable to the effective performance of their roles.
