Re: [WEB SECURITY] HTTP Proxy for thick clients

[haroon meer <haroon () sensepost com>]

Hi Huan..

Fortunately for you, a .Net application will make use of the proxy
configured on the system when making SOAP calls by default (because i
believe it is using an IE instance to handle the call).

Simply set burp/paros as your proxy prior to starting up your
thick-application and it should work exactly as you planned..

(if the app bails because of an incorrect SSL key, you might have to
decompile the binary to remove the cert check or may get away with
installing a new cert (with just the correct CN into paros/burp) - but
you can contact me off-list if this does happen)
