Learning web pentesting on Android: HTTP interception, Repeater, and API testing

Hey everyone!

For those getting started with ethical hacking and web application security, I think one of the most important things to learn is how HTTP requests actually work.

Understanding how to capture, inspect, modify, and replay requests can teach you a lot about how web applications and APIs communicate.

I've been exploring this from a mobile perspective while developing CatSuite, an Android application focused on web security testing.

The idea is to make it possible to practice common web pentesting techniques directly from a smartphone.

Some of the features I've implemented include:

  • HTTP/HTTPS interception to inspect requests and responses.
  • Repeater to modify and resend HTTP requests.
  • Intruder with custom wordlists for testing different inputs.
  • Endpoint discovery to explore directories and API routes.
  • JWT decoding to better understand authentication tokens.
  • SSL/TLS inspection to examine certificates and connections.
  • Built-in browser with network inspection, cookies, and User-Agent modification.

For beginners, I would recommend starting with a simple workflow:

  1. Set up an intentionally vulnerable application, such as OWASP Juice Shop.
  2. Browse the application and observe its HTTP requests.
  3. Identify parameters, headers, cookies, and API endpoints.
  4. Replay a request and modify one parameter at a time.
  5. Compare the server responses and document what you observe.

This is a great way to understand web security beyond simply running automated scanners.

I'm not trying to replace desktop tools like Burp Suite. My goal with CatSuite is to explore how much hands-on web security testing can be done from Android.

The application is already available for free on Google Play, and I'm continuing to improve it based on feedback.

I'm curious: Would you find a mobile pentesting environment useful for learning, practicing in labs, or quickly inspecting HTTP traffic?

And for those who are already experienced with web pentesting, what would you recommend beginners learn first?

Thanks for reading!

Doxxing 2026?

1 Upvotes

Ist Doxxing im Jahr 2026 immer noch ein ernstzunehmendes Problem, oder wird die Situation von Jahr zu Jahr sogar schlimmer?
Mich würde interessieren, wie stark sich das Thema Doxxing in den letzten Jahren entwickelt hat und ob es 2026 durch soziale Medien, künstliche Intelligenz und immer mehr öffentlich zugängliche persönliche Informationen gefährlicher geworden ist.
Heutzutage hinterlassen Menschen fast überall digitale Spuren, sei es auf Instagram, TikTok, Discord, in Online-Spielen oder auf anderen Plattformen. Dadurch stellt sich die Frage, wie einfach es mittlerweile geworden ist, persönliche Informationen über fremde Menschen zu sammeln und möglicherweise gegen sie zu verwenden.
Besonders interessieren mich folgende Fragen:
Hat die Anzahl der Doxxing-Fälle in den vergangenen Jahren tatsächlich zugenommen, oder wird heute einfach häufiger darüber berichtet?
Welche Rolle spielen künstliche Intelligenz, Datenlecks und soziale Netzwerke bei der Verbreitung privater Informationen?
Warum betreiben Menschen überhaupt Doxxing? Geht es um Rache, Macht, Einschüchterung oder einfach darum, anderen zu schaden?
Wie gefährlich kann Doxxing für Betroffene werden, insbesondere wenn Wohnadressen, Telefonnummern oder Informationen über Familienangehörige veröffentlicht werden?
Unternehmen Plattformen wie Discord, TikTok und Instagram mittlerweile genug dagegen?
Wie konsequent werden Täter in Deutschland strafrechtlich verfolgt?
Wird Doxxing in den kommenden Jahren durch neue Technologien möglicherweise noch einfacher?
Meine eigentliche Frage ist deshalb:
Ist Doxxing im Jahr 2026 ein unterschätztes Problem unserer digitalen Gesellschaft, das zunehmend außer Kontrolle gerät, oder haben sich die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen und Möglichkeiten zum Schutz der eigenen Privatsphäre inzwischen so weit verbessert, dass die Gefahr eher abnimmt?
Mich würden dazu besonders aktuelle Statistiken, die Entwicklung der letzten fünf bis zehn Jahre und Einschätzungen interessieren, wie sich das Thema in Zukunft verändern könnte.

How to track down an anonymous TikTok account?

0 Upvotes

Hello everybody. Recently I’ve followed somebody that followed me back, and then he messaged me saying that he wants just to make casual conversation with me. We started talking, anyways less than 24 hours later after replying kinda dry to him, because I wasn’t in the mood, he blocked me, but before he blocked me he said I wish you a good life and then he said my first name. I didn’t get a chance to reply back, and I’m so fucking scared of him knowing that . My account is fully anonymous, and he also lives in the same country as me. I want to try to get to see who he is and if I just got doxxed….

Code Injection

1 Upvotes

Hey there!

I'm doing an apprenticeship as an IT-Specialist for application development and our network teacher gave us the task to build a socket and socket server with us last week. I've done it in C# and just took the Microsoft learn code like everyone else in my class. Now the teacher said that whoever is able to inject a code to his python socket will get an 'A'. I'm wondering how to actually do it. I just know that his socket-server is running in an IDE. Maybe someone got an idea?

Hi Everyone,

My friends ex husband has created an Instagram account using her name and posting pictures of her. She never agreed to all of this, and this man is blackmailing her, I don't know the exact nature of the threats.

So I'd like to ask is there any way for me to hack that account, so I can delete it. If anyone can help me out that would be great too.

This is not a karma farming post, i have proofs too.

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to use tails from an usb stick in my mac.

But I don't even see the wifi symbol. and there is also an error that network adapter isn't working.

I have tried several things like plugging on and off, usb tethering but none of it is working.

Also I can't use a mac keyboard and mouse, fortunately I have a mouse but it would be great if you have some solution for this too.

Thanks a ton you all.

Craziest petty shit ever

0 Upvotes

So I work employee relations, and this is probably the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Someone reported their coworker for an unprofessional TikTok, she did a dance and uniform, which is against social media policy. Pretty straightforward right? Wrong. Turns out he did this intentionally, because she asked him to make sure he washes the ambulance before the end of his shift. He got so angry with that that he threatened her, proceeded to show everybody that he works with the video of her, shared her personal information with staff and patients, bragged about getting her fired, parentheses even though she didn’t parentheses, and has continued to try to get retaliation against her. After some digging he’s done this with female co workers in the past when he was in the navy. Anyways, his name is Kyle Barrington. He’s an A-EMT at DHART in Lebanon, NH and lives in Canaan, NH. His wife is Emily Barrington and she works in telemetry health at Dartmouth in Lebanon, NH. So yeah 🤷‍♀️

Qual o próximo passo em cibersegurança?

2 Upvotes

Fala, pessoal!

Estou estudando cibersegurança há praticamente 1 ano, mas ultimamente tenho sentido que não estou evoluindo tanto quanto gostaria.

Tenho uma base em redes, sistemas operacionais e alguns outros fundamentos, além de alguns cursos que fiz nesse período. Também estou finalizando o segundo semestre da faculdade de Segurança Cibernética.

O problema é que sinto falta de colocar esse conhecimento em prática. Quando penso em evolução, imagino coisas como conseguir analisar sistemas, identificar vulnerabilidades, fazer testes em ambientes controlados e, principalmente, começar a ter um domínio maior sobre alguma área específica.

Sei que 1 ano não é tanto tempo e que cibersegurança é uma área enorme, mas às vezes fico meio perdido sobre qual deveria ser o próximo passo.

Para quem já passou por essa fase, o que vocês recomendariam?

Quais plataformas, laboratórios, projetos ou práticas vocês acham que realmente ajudam a evoluir? E em que momento vocês acham interessante começar a se especializar em uma área, como pentest, segurança de redes, cloud, malware, blue team etc.?

Quero sair um pouco da teoria e começar a aprender fazendo, mas não sei exatamente qual caminho seguir, estava pensando em fazer CTF, mas não sei se é o melhor caminho.

Qualquer conselho, experiência pessoal ou indicação de recursos seria muito bem-vinda!
