Hi tptacek,

Proxy.app is not meant to compete with Burp. Burp is a different beast and not necessarily, in our humble opinion, the best approach to penetration testing web applications. We know how difficult it is to write security tools because this is what we specialise doing. So you comment resonates with us very well.

Although we could have bundled-in all our security testing frameworks, it was decided to take a different approach for the time being. Later on we may decide to add security testing capabilities or these features may be provided by some of the other tools that we are currently working on.




If you're not trying to compete with Burp, you may want to remove it from the sentence, "While there were plenty of proxies such as Burp, ZAP and Charles…"


Badly phrased. It will compete with Burp but not as a one-size-fits-all type of security solution.
