  • proxify

history

Project history and usage

Proxify is ProjectDiscovery's portable intercepting proxy and replay toolkit for inspecting and manipulating HTTP, HTTPS, and selected non-HTTP traffic.

Project history

ProjectDiscovery developed Proxify as a portable proxy for capturing, manipulating, and replaying HTTP and HTTPS traffic. The project subsequently added SOCKS5 upstream support, non-HTTP protocol plugins, filtering and replacement expressions, an embedded DNS resolver, and separate replay tooling.

Adoption history

ProjectDiscovery distributes Proxify as a portable Go command and through release binaries and package managers. Its workflow targets security testing and remote traffic collection rather than general-purpose proxy serving.

How it is used

Run `proxify` as a local interception proxy, direct a client through it, and save request-response pairs as JSONL, YAML, or individual files. Operators can modify traffic with DSL expressions, forward through HTTP or SOCKS5 upstream proxies, and replay captured sessions into another proxy. HTTPS inspection requires trusting Proxify's generated CA certificate.

Why package nerds care

Proxify combines an intercepting proxy, embedded DNS behavior, programmable match-and-replace rules, durable traffic dumps, and replay helpers in a portable CLI. Package users value it as composable security-testing plumbing that can feed captured traffic into larger inspection suites.

Timeline

  • Public release history: GitHub records the project's v0.0.x release series.
  • Later development: Filtering, match-and-replace, embedded DNS, upstream SOCKS5, and replay workflows became part of the documented toolset.

Related projects

  • The official README documents forwarding captured traffic to Burp Suite, replaying dumps into Burp, and using Tor as an upstream SOCKS5 proxy.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
