intercepting-mobile-traffic-with-burpsuite
Intercepts and analyzes HTTP/HTTPS traffic from mobile applications using Burp Suite proxy to identify insecure API communications, authentication flaws, data leakage, and server-side vulnerabilities. Use when performing mobile application penetration testing, assessing API security, or evaluating client-server communication patterns. Activates for requests involving mobile traffic interception, Burp Suite mobile proxy, API security testing, or mobile HTTPS analysis.

# Intercepting Mobile Traffic with Burp Suite
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Testing mobile application API endpoints for authentication, authorization, and injection vulnerabilities
- Analyzing data transmitted between mobile apps and backend servers during penetration tests
- Evaluating certificate pinning implementations and their bypass difficulty
- Identifying sensitive data leakage in mobile network traffic
**Do not use** this skill to intercept traffic from applications you are not authorized to test -- traffic interception without authorization violates computer fraud laws.
## Most Often Missed & How to Confirm
- **Android 7+ user-CA distrust** — the proxy "works" for the browser but app traffic is empty. Confirm the CA is installed as a *system* cert (or via Magisk) and that the target app's traffic appears, not just Chrome's.
