I’ll confess to two crimes a) I’ve come across offpunk at least 3 times already and haven’t tried it yet, it looks really neat! b) I often have ideas for interesting hacks that I write down but then drop the ball on. This is one of them but in case you’re interested and it by chance helps with the awesome work you are doing.
Here is my vision:
- mitmproxy is running in transparent mode with a plugin/custom code that does continuous archiving on all traffic, perhaps with help of your netcache tool instead of webcrystal I mentioned. it’s set as the gateway.
- terminal user can then retrieve quickly history list, fzf select, page/dump text for cut and paste, or perhaps some direct to LLM tools pipeline, for summarizing or extracting.
Perhaps I’m stating the obvious above and can be implied by my prior comment. I guess the one detail I’m adding is I think using mitmproxy transparent mode it could be completely transparent to the regular desktop user. No per website configs, no proxy settings.
I run my desktops in a VM using vfio-pci GPU passthrough on the physical workstations and then put all my traffic through another pfSense VM, so re-routing traffic for me is already a fundamental part of my setup.
Perhaps this all sounds a bit complicated and yes it is. But there are numerous reasons I feel it can have a huge payoff.
Thank you for your open source work and I hope I’ll have some time soon to play around with offpunk. It looks like a fantastic tool with many potential uses.
