mitmproxy-ca.pemThe private key and certificate in PEM format.
mitmproxy-ca-cert.pemThe certificate in PEM format. Use this to distribute to most - non-Windows platforms.

- -This CA is used for on-the-fly generation of dummy certificates for SSL -interception. Since your browser won't trust the __mitmproxy__ CA out of the -box (and rightly so), you will see an SSL cert warning every time you visit a -new SSL domain through __mitmproxy__. When you're testing a single site through -a browser, just accepting the bogus SSL cert manually is not too much trouble, -but there are a many circumstances where you will want to configure your -testing system or browser to trust the __mitmproxy__ CA as a signing root -authority. - - -Using a custom certificate --------------------------- - -You can use your own certificate by passing the __--cert__ option to mitmproxy. - -The certificate file is expected to be in the PEM format. You can generate -a certificate in this format using these instructions: - -
-> openssl genrsa -out cert.key 8192
-> openssl req -new -x509 -key cert.key -out cert.crt
-    (Specify the mitm domain as Common Name, e.g. *.google.com)
-> cat cert.key cert.crt > cert.pem
-> mitmproxy --cert=cert.pem
