there you go. Who knew?
Yeah, who knew? Indeed,

17
00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:34,959
wait till you see the way back
machine. I'm tapping for the comment on

18
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,879
this show. Oh boy, wow, all right, I can't wait,

19
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,920
But verse, I have something for
you, okay with better know fwork awesome?

20
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,599
All right, buddy, what do
you got? Well, rold Buddy.

21
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,359
Simon Cropp is at it again.
He's wicked smart, is just ridiculous

22
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:07,280
smart. And you know, I
think it's the water in Australia that or

23
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,120
maybe it's water in America. I
don't know. Anyway. He wrote this

24
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:21,240
great um source only repo called polyphil. Wait we did We used to do

25
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,759
polyphilps for web. Yeah, this
is polyphil for dot net. It exposes

26
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,240
newer dot net and c sharp features
to older run times. What older run

27
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:38,360
times? So dot in a standard
two designed to support Net four six one

28
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,680
all the way to Net eight right? Dot might interesting? And if you

29
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:46,960
yeah, if you go there,
you'll see a detailed list of all of

30
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,560
the polyphils that he's implemented. How
cool is that? That's really clever?

31
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,719
Yeah, that's an interesting idea.
Yeah, I really like that feature of

32
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:59,560
C sharp eight, but I don't
have C sharp eight. Yeah, I

33
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,960
can't use pay for whatever reason,
so I'll do it as a poly felt

34
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,560
like this is something that Microsoft is
not going to build, right, They're

35
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:08,039
going to tell you just use dot
net eight. Excellent. So that's it.

36
00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:10,960
No, it learned it, love
it. And Simmons just again,

37
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,319
really really smart guy, so brilliant. Yeah, that's very clever. I

38
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,560
expect it to be just as great
as everything else that he's done. Who

39
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,639
was talking to us today, Richard? You know we are doing a show

40
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,120
about Fiddler today. Yeah. And
the last I went and looked on like,

41
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:29,039
when's the last time we talked about
Fiddler as like a show? And

42
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:32,080
we did one with Eric Lawrence like
episode eight oh nine, like a thousand

43
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:38,000
shows ago. Yeah, it's a
little too old, but we referenced Fiddler

44
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,599
on a regular basis and this led
to a great little comment chain where on

45
00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:51,360
episode ten seventy two, we were
talking to Shay Freedman about Chrome developer tools

46
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,120
and Fiddler came up in that conversation
and that led to a show we did

47
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:00,039
with Brad Abrams about the Google Cloud
back in twenty fifteen show ten to eighty

48
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:03,840
three. Totally crap, right,
Brad Abrams. Brad Abrams, who I

49
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:08,599
think is back at Microsoft again?
Really like, oh, I'm pretty sure.

50
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:11,840
Yeah, yeah, he escaped to
Google after the silver Light thing when

51
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,240
it's up, and then he came
back. Yeah, it's coming back around.

52
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,079
You know, what comes around goes
around kind of thing. But years

53
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,839
later I always liked him. But
what I what I appreciate the fact that

54
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:26,759
we're talking about Fiddler is this comment
from Dave's Russell, which admittedly is from

55
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,920
eight years ago, eight hundred episodes
ago, and where Dave says, you

56
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:36,000
know, Fiddler is required for any
non browser endpoints you wanted to bug and

57
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,360
anything that requires a post to put
or delete. And it can act as

58
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,759
a reverse proxy and can act as
a proxy for a bit of devices.

59
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,240
And actually Fiddler is not going anywhere
anytime soon. It's a fantastic tool.

60
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,879
And saying you don't need is like
saying you don't need the rest of the

61
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:57,120
Internet because Amazon sells everything. Ridiculous. Yeah, he says that anyway,

62
00:04:57,399 --> 00:05:00,000
Well, and it's just a for
me, it's a great moment to realize,

63
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:02,720
is like Hey, this has been
an amazing tool for forever and we

64
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:05,439
don't talk about it often enough,
so I'm excited to talk about it again.

65
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:09,120
Yeah me too, So Dave,
thank you so much for your comment,

74
00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:42,839
We're here with Sam Bassu and Rosen
Vladimirov. Let me introduce them.

75
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,879
Sam, of course, has been
on the show many times. He's a

76
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,480
technologist, author, speaker, Microsoft
MVP, gadget lover, and developer advocate

77
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:54,240
for Teller. With a long developer
background, he now spends much of his

78
00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:59,720
time advocating modern web, mobile cloud
development platforms on Microsoft Teller, ek stacks

79
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:05,639
his spare times call for travel,
fast cars, Cricket, Cricket somebody actually

80
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:11,879
plays that game, and Culinary Adventures
of the Family. You can find him

81
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:16,680
on the internets. Rosen vladimirv is
a senior software engineering manager at Progress Software

82
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,839
Corporation. Like how I pronounced that
free Richard Progress? Yeah, very nice,

83
00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:25,759
Just my inner Canadian came out.
Throughout his career, he has been

84
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,319
in different roles and worked with various
technologies including WPF, silver Light, dot

85
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:33,759
Net, no JS, type Script, Angular, and Electron. Currently,

86
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:39,480
he leads the engineering team responsible for
all Fiddler products. He loves helping others

87
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,279
and that's why he's so involved in
building developer tools such as Fiddler everywhere with

88
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,800
a goal of making everyday tasks easier. Welcome guys, Yeah, thank you,

89
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:53,199
gentlemen. Thanks for having us over
here. I thought I was old

90
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,319
and I met you people. Yeah, Sam, how many shows have you

91
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,519
done with us? So probably a
lot. We could probably figure it out

92
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:04,560
number four, yea few, but
you know, congratulations from eighteen hundred plus

93
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:10,079
episodes. You know, after after
seventeen hundred you just stopped counting. Yeah,

94
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:12,759
it's it's all the same, really, and welcome Rosen. This is

95
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,000
your first time with us. Hey
guys, Yeah, thanks for having me

96
00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:19,480
here. You're certainly welcome, and
thanks for Fiddler. What's name in the

97
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:23,279
fiddler world? I guess, you
know, we should start with that comment

98
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:28,680
there there is a it's a easy
to dismiss Fiddler because we have such great

99
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,199
tools in the browser. But the
browser tools don't go far enough for every

100
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:34,839
situation, do they No, they
don't. Um, So let's kind of

101
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:41,160
dive in and I'm the fluff.
Rosen is the stuff. But I'll try

102
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:44,959
my best to set this stage.
So, you know, like the comment

103
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,199
said, it's been a long journey. This kind of started back with you

104
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:53,959
know, Eric, way back with
his Microsoft days, and it's you know,

105
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,600
it's been a tool that so many
developers over you know, the last

106
00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:00,759
you know, decade or two have
kind of grown up with. You know,

107
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,600
you use this every day as a
part of your you know, deaf

108
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,439
tool set, and at its very
essence, it's a network debugging tool.

109
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:13,439
It's a proxy, so it lets
you capture all types of network and here,

110
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,600
you know, it comes in some
of the differentiators where your browser def

111
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,319
tools are you know, pretty down
good these days, but they only go

112
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,959
as far. We're talking about every
type of app. You know, I

113
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:28,519
do a lot of you know,
crosslatform mobile and you know desktop stuff.

114
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,759
So the moment you step outside the
web, the deaf tools, don't you

115
00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:37,279
know, work as well. And
also we are talking about lots of other

116
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:41,480
things that you need. You should
you know, never be in doubt as

117
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,879
a developer as to what's going on
in your network and how you function together

118
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,679
as a team, your your collaborations, and also doing things like you know,

119
00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:54,639
proxying things where you don't always want
to go to the network, having

120
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,240
a strong rules engine so you can
you know, fake things on and off,

121
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,679
having ways to save sessions and share
them with your team, and you

122
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:07,120
know, understanding how your users are
actually using your apps so that when they

123
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:11,559
have issues and when they come to
your know QA and support people, you're

124
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,120
not wasting cycles understanding what's going on. I get the packets never a kind

125
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,960
of idea, but does it go
so far as to being a protocol analyzer,

126
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,960
Like can I put it between me
and a USB device and say,

127
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,639
hey, can you log all the
traffic going between these two things? No,

128
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:31,519
in the current stitution, it's it's
more of a network the bugging helper

129
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,519
tool that you can use to capture
off your network traffic as some mensions.

130
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:43,039
For many years, fed or was
famous, like as a web debugging tool,

131
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,000
but now we are trying to help
our users to understand that it's not

132
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,120
only the web here. There are
many types of network requests that you can

133
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,879
handle and capture it feedwor and to
help you find out what the issue with

134
00:09:56,919 --> 00:10:01,440
them or even simulate different terrors and
see how our applications will be safe when

135
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,519
you're with yeah, okay, get
it. Yeah, Just trying to establish

136
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,639
the boundaries of expectation here in terms
of what it's able to. So you

137
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:15,440
know, we're talking to developers.
It's a developer debugging tool, and that's

138
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,000
that's it's realm, that's it's meal
you And is it is still a browser

139
00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:24,279
based tool or are there sandalone applications? Yes? There are so. Actually,

140
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:28,600
before we jump into tools and features, I think it's important to talk

141
00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:31,399
about what you know, Rosen and
the team have done with Fiddler in the

142
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,519
last you know, several years.
Please, it's not just one tool anymore.

143
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,559
It's become like a product family.
It's a portfolio of a multiple things

144
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,639
that work together to help out developers. So add it's very you know,

145
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,679
basic core. Fiddler used to be
a you know, Windows app, and

146
00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:50,399
that's still there. It's what we
call Fiddler Classic, and you know,

147
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,399
it's feature rich. A lot of
you know people use it, you know,

148
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,480
every day in their depth, you
know cycles, and nothing wrong with

149
00:10:56,519 --> 00:11:01,159
that. We're not moving the cheese, but we are also have to reinvent

150
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,559
Fiddler for how modern developers work,
and we want that freedom to be you

151
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,840
know, building any type of app
on any platform. So you know,

152
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:13,720
Fiddler Everywhere is our you know,
most up to date Fiddler tool, and

153
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:18,919
it is cross platforms. So now
you can use Fiddler on Windows, Mac

154
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,759
and Linux. And this was something
of a request for like a decade for

155
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:26,480
us make it work on Mac and
Linux, but now you can, and

156
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:30,440
it's you know, a native tool
that works everywhere and functions exactly the same

157
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:33,799
consistently ui uxys. But that's just
you know, the capturing part of it.

158
00:11:33,919 --> 00:11:37,080
But we also have Fiddler in a
few you know, different modes.

159
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,799
When it comes to you know,
understanding how your users are seeing errors in

160
00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:46,000
their apps when they're using it,
we have you know two little things.

161
00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:52,559
One is called Fiddler Jam, which
is essentially Chromium based browser extension. And

162
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,080
this isn't something you want your non
technical people to just you know, go

163
00:11:56,159 --> 00:12:00,360
to the extension store on both you
know, Chrome or Edge and able to

164
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:03,720
just quickly install an extension and run
your app, capture what's going on in

165
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,279
your app and shared it back with
the QWA Fox when giving us a ticket,

166
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,879
and it can do you know,
other things like capturing a video all

167
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:16,360
of the necessary logs. And that's
for browser based tools. If you have

168
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:18,320
a Windows based app, then we
have something called Fiddler Cap which is the

169
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,919
same idea. It's a very lightweight, you know, little app that you

170
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,799
install that captures local traffic. Again
mostly for you know, non technical people.

171
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,480
And then we also have Fiddler Core, which is essentially the engine that

172
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,279
drives all of Fiddler's functionality that has
been separated from the UI part of it.

173
00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:39,639
So you can actually have Fiddler Core
as a dot net embedible library,

174
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:43,000
so you can you light up your
dashboards or you know, things that you

175
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,000
want to embed in your own apps. So that's the whole Fiddler family of

176
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,600
five different things now and these are
all I mean, for Fiddler core on

177
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:56,559
app. This is all HDPHDPS traffic
and analyzing. Yes, and this is

178
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,639
where can Rosen and team have been, you know, very active. You

179
00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:03,039
know a lot of new things have
happened. The web isn't the same as

180
00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:07,360
it was twenty years back. HTP
one is where we started. Now you'n

181
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,399
HDP two and we are even looking
forward. So yes, HTTP and HTPS

182
00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:18,240
making sure we can capture both on
encrypted and encrypted traffic, and also getting

183
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:22,159
down to a slightly lower level.
I don't want to spill Rosin's bills,

184
00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:26,240
but you know, things like web
sockets, things like grpcy thanks, we

185
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,120
think about a lot a lot it
okay, because those things aren't transported over

186
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,480
HTPS. No, so we can
step one level down and you know,

187
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,120
take a look at what apps are
doing under the covers. gRPC web is

188
00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:43,360
of course, but gRPC I think
it requires HTP two. Is that right?

189
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,679
I think so, yes, it's
suggested that you use HTP two and

190
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,200
because like that's where that's how you
can you get those parallel request and responses.

191
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,840
It's a truly bidirectional, you know, stream of information between the server

192
00:13:56,919 --> 00:14:00,960
and the client. And you know, we can capture it all. Yeah,

193
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,759
that's great. Yeah, when I
think back to the original Eric Lawrence

194
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,159
version of fiddle are it was really
a rapper of her Win I had if

195
00:14:07,159 --> 00:14:09,559
I remember correctly. Wow, that's
taken me back. It just was able

196
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,639
to look at the traffic back and
forth and there. So if you're getting

197
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,720
off, I can imagine people say
that would like it to be other than

198
00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:20,039
windows. It's like, you mean, totally rewrite it because it was it

199
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,919
was a rapper of her Win I
ned. Yeah, yeah, very true,

200
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,799
defensive lot the case, and it
was it felt only its different that

201
00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:33,159
makes it more difficult because yeah,
as you've mentioned, you need to re

202
00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:39,039
write the whole object to support it
on different operating systems. But in addition,

203
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:45,039
when we decided to go on with
HTP two support, which had to

204
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,000
write a lot of other things because
HTP two is a lot more different.

205
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:54,559
So even now it is still in
Better we are waiting for feedback and gethering

206
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,200
feedback from our use and now after
we have it, we'll soon moved the

207
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,600
feature out of Better support. But
it was important for us to ensure that

208
00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:09,360
we have not process something that was
working for the users because the essences that

209
00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:13,399
you need to capture traffic and easy
understand what's going wrong. But still,

210
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,000
as some mentioned that the network had
been changed, has changed for a lot

211
00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:22,639
of different aspects. For example,
the THOS one point three is something that

212
00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:26,639
we are currently working on and it
will soon be out as a feature in

213
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:31,679
feed or everywhere you know that it
is. It is out there for maybe

214
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:37,159
five or six years, but still
many many servers do not support it,

215
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,360
maybe due to the security the fact
that it has only five ciphers that are

216
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,320
supported in it, so many applications
still struggle to have been supported. But

217
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,440
in terms of security, it is
much more secure and people actually want to

218
00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:54,799
use it. So at that point
we wanted to help our users to be

219
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,440
able to test which are the servers
which support it, how to how to

220
00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:03,759
use them, helping form even their
security team that there is stuff being broken

221
00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:10,000
there. So we were we've been
working on the last a couple of feks

222
00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:14,000
for this teacher, and so we'll
have it fantastic as an end user.

223
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,320
Some of the things that we know
have thought of thought through in the last

224
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,720
few years is your experience. If
you are kind of new to Fiddler and

225
00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:25,600
you're kind of getting started right so
to Fiddler everywhere you have you know,

226
00:16:25,639 --> 00:16:29,960
one installer that you know recognizes your
OS, and you you install it for

227
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:33,759
Mac, Windows are you know,
or Linux, and then it can be

228
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:37,480
a little overwhelming because Fiddler is essentially
a network proxy, so everything on your

229
00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:41,399
machine goes through that. So when
you open it up for the first time,

230
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,519
it starts capturing just about everything.
It's just a lot of streaming data.

231
00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:48,759
So we think about you know,
experiences like filters, so you can

232
00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:52,039
you know, turn things on and
off as you go. Maybe you don't

233
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,159
want, you know, it's a
kind of a little embarrassing because you see,

234
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,559
you know, Apple and Google and
Microsoft, everybody calling home with all

235
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:00,480
of their services, so you can
turn those things off. You can just

236
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:04,400
say, show me network for just
this app and nothing else, show me

237
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,000
only local host and nothing else,
shown me only four or force and nothing

238
00:17:08,039 --> 00:17:11,839
else. So filtering and you know, giving you all the knobs and buttons

239
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,079
when you do your traffic capturing.
That's important for us. You know,

240
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,720
little things like you know, dark
mode and like mode support, so that

241
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:22,160
we're not you know, uh,
forcing people to work in a certain way.

242
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,279
That's important and we kind of want
to keep you there once you're there,

243
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,920
you don't need to you know,
open up anything else. You know.

244
00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:33,680
API composition is important for you know, anytime you are going from your

245
00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:37,319
you know client apps to another you
know service. So I'll let you you

246
00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:41,680
know, have a nimble API composer
that lets you you know, do things

247
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:45,519
with authentication with you know, service
packets going in and out and you know,

248
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,200
just fine tuning it. Maybe you're
working in a team. Maybe you

249
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:51,119
have a you know, middleware team, and you have a client services team,

250
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,240
you have a database team, all
of them, can you know talk

251
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:56,440
through those APIs and you know,
get a nice team collaboration going. Now.

252
00:17:56,559 --> 00:18:02,160
Is some Fiddler an open source product. It isn't on open sourcities coosed

253
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:08,559
source, but we are working well
with different people who are helping cussing them.

254
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,519
When you want to have a feature
that is uh, let's say HTP

255
00:18:12,599 --> 00:18:18,119
two or JRPC, we're trying to
find people who are actually using those protocols,

256
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,799
those versions and try to work with
them on the specification of the feature,

257
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,920
on the requirements, and then on
testing this feature. We are always

258
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:32,240
trying to to quote in the application
only feature that we have designed and tested

259
00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:37,359
with its external users because yeah,
as I've mentioned already, the important part

260
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,319
is to help the people and to
ensure that we solve various cases or something

261
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,279
that we think we will solve.
Okay, so so it's now our Is

262
00:18:45,279 --> 00:18:49,119
it only a retail product there?
Yeah, it is commercial, so okay,

263
00:18:49,279 --> 00:18:53,000
we do a lot of open source
work. The reality is, you

264
00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:56,799
know, rosen and we have to
feed our kids, ensure sneering is expensive.

265
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,799
So Fiddler Classic it's in the state
the way it is you know,

266
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:04,640
always free for windows, but Fiddler
Everywhere has been you know, three or

267
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:10,400
four years. It's stuff engineering,
so it's behind a little subscription model,

268
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:12,759
which is you know, the cost
of a cup of coffee for a month.

269
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:17,400
Sure, all right, Yeah,
so there is still the original free

270
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,640
product, admittedly with a whole lot
of updates, you know, still being

271
00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:23,640
maintained. The win i net product
is out there. But if you want

272
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,480
the everywhere product, that one's retail. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, because

273
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:32,640
I mean it has extra things that
are you know, starting to not quite

274
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:37,440
be everywhere, right because like all
of the you know, latest innovations have

275
00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:41,200
been on Fiddler Everywhere. You know, how you build rules and how you

276
00:19:41,279 --> 00:19:44,640
work with teams and that type of
stuff is particularly you know, very heavy

277
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,640
on Fiddler Everywhere. Yeah, for
sure. Yeah, Well it's good that

278
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:49,359
it's good that you have that,
and I think that's that's a fair thing.

279
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,759
You have a free product and if
you need more, you pay for

280
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:59,200
more. Yeah, that's fine.
When did work start on Everywhere resin?

281
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:06,119
I think it was back in the
two thousand and nineteen, but the first

282
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:11,720
official version came out in twenty twenty
in the COVID time, so that's when

283
00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:18,160
it was born, and it was
released in July twenty twenty, but the

284
00:20:18,279 --> 00:20:25,519
actual working ideas for having a cross
platform two started earlier. One of the

285
00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:30,599
important things that we wanted to do
is to ensure that we have modern technologies.

286
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,440
So you know that feed were classic
is using quin forms. It is

287
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,400
really hard to write the whole thing, and too if you need to change

288
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:47,519
something, there's a lot of logical
many different places I've written other winforced application.

289
00:20:47,839 --> 00:20:52,279
I like the technology, but still
it doesn't give you the flexibility of

290
00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:57,519
the modern technologies. So once we
decided that we need to write a new

291
00:20:57,599 --> 00:21:02,480
duo, it was more of a
decision of list and we decided to use

292
00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:07,319
electron anuer and dot net for this, So it's actually an electron based application.

293
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,960
Uh. In the anguer parts we
are building just a seeing layer of

294
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,680
FEI and the full work is again
in the dot net part of the application,

295
00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:22,039
but still in the in the anjuer
part, we manage to use our

296
00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:27,920
intelric controls or can do in this
case, and we manage to handle a

297
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:33,400
lot of data inside inside that you
are you know some already mentioned that when

298
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,839
you start feedwor and you notice how
everyone is doing a lot of requests.

299
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,720
For example, we have a feature
that allows you to start a new instrumented

300
00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:47,960
browser. We call it instrument but
it's actually clean instance of a Chromium browser,

301
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,599
and once you start it, we
capture everything from it. It's automatically

302
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,079
um targeting the feedwork proxy. So
what you will notice if you if you

303
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,880
do it, is that even from
the moment when the browser starts to the

304
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:06,039
first request that you want to execute, for example, Google for soffic or

305
00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:10,680
whatever you do, you see at
least three hundred requests for trucking, for

306
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,200
analytics for whatever it is. Wow, So it's either visible there well,

307
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,480
and it gets back to the classic
problem of all of these kinds of logging

308
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,720
tools, which is like you are
facing a fire hose, just a huge

309
00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:26,720
amount of data and somewhere in there
is the one little bit of information you

310
00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:32,279
wanted that's exactly right because you know
it's it's a lot, and that's where

311
00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:34,279
the filtering really comes in handy.
And you know, to Rosen's point,

312
00:22:36,039 --> 00:22:40,160
you have to understand how Fiddler is
working. It is a low level network

313
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,720
proxy, so everything on your machine
goes through that and there is no escaping

314
00:22:44,759 --> 00:22:47,880
every you know, every time Visual
Studio calls home, everything is loved.

315
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,920
So you really need to you know, get down to exactly what you want

316
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,920
to see. And this may not
be an option if you are on a

317
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,240
machine that is really heavily locked down, because you need do need to be

318
00:22:57,279 --> 00:23:02,279
an admising new machine because it's not
just the tool. We would ask you

319
00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:06,039
to trust some certificates so we can
you know, crack open some you know

320
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,920
encryption with HDPS. So maybe you're
on a machine that ID has you know,

321
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,720
really locked down, but you still
want to be able to see your

322
00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:18,119
app and debugg network. So that's
where that in built browser comes in.

323
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,599
So that is already preconfigured. You
don't need to ask for an immitis permission

324
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,480
anything on that app. Fiddler will
automatically capture even if you do not let

325
00:23:25,519 --> 00:23:27,599
it have all the permissions. I'm
kind of blown away by the idea that

326
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:33,400
you can build an angular Electron app
that can get that low level. Yeah,

327
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,319
so Rosen kind of set it out
loud, but I was going to

328
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,079
present this as maybe a trivia because
you know, when you talk about a

329
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,559
truly cross platform app nowadays, there
aren't you know, too many options out

330
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:48,440
there on the table, and you
know, Electron and we talk about dot

331
00:23:48,519 --> 00:23:51,319
m Malby and all of those things. But you know, this is battle

332
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,440
tested, and this has been out
there for you know, ten plus years.

333
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,640
How Electron has worked. If you
know what you're doing and if you

334
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,039
can manage your footprint, this truly
works. I mean, so many of

335
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:06,039
our apps every day that we use
our Electron apps and within that the front

336
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,119
end being angular. This is you
know, kudus to the team because we

337
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,559
get asked a lot, like when
you look at our telleric UI for all

338
00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:15,400
of the dot Net things, kender
ui for all of the JavaScript things.

339
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,799
We care about performance because we care
about how developers you know, you know,

340
00:24:19,839 --> 00:24:26,200
work with our tools. Nothing says
like dog fooding more than Fiddler because

341
00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:30,519
what you see in Fiddler user interface
it's Kender UI grids and you know,

342
00:24:30,559 --> 00:24:36,359
list views and talk about performance.
This is like hundreds and thousands of things

343
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:41,240
just streamed into a single app NonStop. So yeah, we're proud of how

344
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,279
we have been able to utilize our
own UI in building something. Can you

345
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,200
talk a little bit about the rule
builder. This is an intriguing feature for

346
00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:55,599
me. Right. So rule builder
essentially is for you to fine tune what

347
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,359
type of traffic you want to capture
and then what rules apply to sorta types

348
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,839
of traffic. So if me and
Rosen are working together and I am building

349
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,880
the back end for an app,
then when his client side app wants to

350
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,119
call in, maybe he doesn't want
to go to the internet, maybe just

351
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,200
wants to come and hit my box, my machine. So that's one instance.

352
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,200
Or maybe you want to test out
an app. And again this is

353
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,559
where we have worked a lot with
people who have been using Fiddler Classic for

354
00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:26,640
a long time. We don't want
to break their workflows. People use Fiddler

355
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,359
for performance tuning a lot. Right, So you are building an app and

356
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,000
people are using your app in a
variety of settings. If it's a pa.

357
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,119
Maybe you are going from you know, five G, four G all

358
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,200
the way down to you know,
almost no connectivity when you walk into a

359
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,119
plane. So how does your app
experience look like? What if your jab

360
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,160
script, apps or you know resources
cannot be delivered? What if your CSS

361
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:55,400
or images are bloated and they're not
working right? These are all things well

362
00:25:56,039 --> 00:25:57,559
health wise, you might be in
a very good spot, I guess,

363
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,839
but fine tuning those things like what
if your videos stop working? What if

364
00:26:03,839 --> 00:26:07,039
your you know, images are missing? What if your jobscript doesn't get delivered

365
00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:10,440
on time? Those are all things
that rule builder is very very good with.

366
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,319
It lets you, you know,
control exactly what the experience is.

367
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,200
When somebody makes a request and you
essentially get to be the middle person between

368
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,559
that request and what comes back to
a client who's making that request. You

369
00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:26,200
get to fake it, You get
to you know, slow it down,

370
00:26:26,319 --> 00:26:29,039
you get to not deliver things.
So truly, you know, fine tuned

371
00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:32,440
the experience. But Rose and what
did I miss? Oh? I think

372
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,960
you've mentioned only the health of the
powerful features. There wasn't there? You

373
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,559
go? Even I cannot cannot give
exactly the amount of items that you can

374
00:26:42,599 --> 00:26:48,079
do do with this future because it's
really powerful. It allows you too much

375
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,119
the request based on the request or
the response theater, for example, it

376
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:57,880
allows you too much even by the
certificate a certifty validity. And then there's

377
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,799
something with this traffic and even market. You can modify it, you can

378
00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:07,119
replace it, or you can just
return some errors or even do nothing,

379
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,799
just deft market, so it too
be easier for you to spot it in

380
00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:12,640
the in the grid. I'm reminded
of that Boston song. More than a

381
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:18,920
filter, isn't that energeez? I
see my merry network traffic come in my

382
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:23,039
way now, And I guess that's
your point that filtering is easy. I

383
00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:26,319
only want to see that stuff.
But now what do you do with it?

384
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,920
You can change it, you can
modify it. That's the beauty of

385
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,680
that rules engine. In't that that's
right? And also, you know how

386
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,359
I use Fiddler might be different from
how you use Fiddler, right, Right,

387
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,720
all depends on the type of ad
that you're building. You know,

388
00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:44,519
all of the web folks are cool, but I'm an old school guy.

389
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,720
I am start doing my desktop as
nowadays I'm doing a lot of you know,

390
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,240
cross plat from mobile and the moment
you go to iOS or Android,

391
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,000
things fall apart very quickly because you
want to be able to see those API

392
00:27:56,079 --> 00:28:00,319
calls and the traffic going to the
devices, but you can't very easily.

393
00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:03,559
So this is where I have it
used and set up is I will have

394
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,720
you know, Fiddler be my one
network proxy. I know my IP address

395
00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:11,200
of my machine, and Fiddler essentially
opens up one port and so I can

396
00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:15,039
make all of my iOS or Android
devices instead of you know, I can

397
00:28:15,079 --> 00:28:18,119
be on the same WiFi as you
know, my home computer, but I

398
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,559
can make all of that go through
my IP and that that's the way I

399
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,519
have it set up. So I'm
building an iosapp, I want that specific

400
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:32,359
rule to come into play when I'm
hitting Rosen's endpoint and I just want to

401
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,839
see all of the traffic going in
and out of my mobile devices. That's

402
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,960
really cool. And that's stuff that
you can't do without a proxy or I

403
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,680
mean, you can't just like write
a WPF app that listens to a port

404
00:28:42,759 --> 00:28:47,960
with HTTP, you know, the
little server, and you expect to hit

405
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,000
that from a mobile device connected to
your Wi Fi. It just doesn't work.

406
00:28:51,319 --> 00:28:55,880
Yeah. Also, that's where the
rules coming can because for example,

407
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,160
if your building a mobile application and
then it hits some some endpoint, if

408
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,680
you want to test it to what
happens when the the end point is down,

409
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,599
when it's returns four or four or
three or whatever. Instead of rebuilding

410
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:12,319
the whole application or the server,
you can just use feedwer return there's ball

411
00:29:12,359 --> 00:29:18,000
that you want and see how that
because without wantifying your applications, neither the

412
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,359
mobile up, neither the server.
So I don't actually have to stop the

413
00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:26,359
server anymore. I can just spoof
the four or four. Yeah, this

414
00:29:26,519 --> 00:29:33,160
is not fun. You guys are
taking away my fun is kind of an

415
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,279
extremely It's it's more like, how
about I slow you down? Yeah,

416
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,799
and then then see how you're up
to the old dot net rocks trope knock

417
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:49,559
knock, who's there? Java?
And with that, we're going to take

418
00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:56,680
a brief break for this very important
message. There's always something new from our

419
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:02,960
sponsor, text Control. As developer, do you need to integrate PDF generation,

420
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,519
document editing, or electronic signatures into
your asp net Corp or Angular applications?

421
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,200
Or you want to learn more about
the differences between electronic and digital signatures.

422
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:18,920
Text Control is offering a free consulting
service to educate you about digital document

423
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,960
processing and how text control products can
help you add these features to your applications.

424
00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:29,279
Go to text control dot com,
slash contact and request your free personal

425
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:36,880
consultation. Then we're back. It's
died at Rocks. I'm Richard Cabal.

426
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,440
That's Carl Franklin, Yo yo yo, talking to our friend Sam and Rosen

427
00:30:40,519 --> 00:30:45,039
a bit about the new Fiddler,
the Fiddler everywhere, and immediately getting all

428
00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:48,240
these ideas of horrible things I could
do to people with this tool. This

429
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,200
tool is the ultimate man in the
middle attack tool. Dude, do you

430
00:30:52,359 --> 00:30:56,759
have your evil on? Is your
evil showing? I mean, think about

431
00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:00,839
the trouble you could talk with two
well, I mean any proxy you can

432
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,720
get in trouble with, right,
Yeah, cities as suities. You are

433
00:31:03,839 --> 00:31:07,440
literally in the middle. Yeah,
you get to do all kinds of nutty

434
00:31:07,519 --> 00:31:12,440
things. So if if I'm on
a developer team, I should probably ask

435
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:17,279
my IT people if I can actually
use this, shouldn't I as long as

436
00:31:17,319 --> 00:31:19,559
your dad man, you should be
good. But you know life Ward said,

437
00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:23,960
with great power comes responsibility. It
says a lot of yes, fiddler

438
00:31:25,079 --> 00:31:30,000
on your hands, it's your foot, your network, right, Yeah,

439
00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:33,000
you could mess some stuff up here
without it, thought, yeah, right,

440
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,799
but only for the traffic in and
out of your machine. You don't

441
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:41,440
really go further afield than that.
Yeah right, But the practical gems installing

442
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,079
it out of friends machine are endless
hours of fun, hours of fun.

443
00:31:45,599 --> 00:31:48,559
Yeah. Well, and maybe even
you don't even need the full Fiddler to

444
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,559
be installed if you're just trying to
message, you're trying to the gem and

445
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,559
the cap comes in. Yeah.
So I was thinking with Fiddler Core,

446
00:31:56,039 --> 00:32:01,839
it's like I could be dynamically putting
ads on every page that talks specifically about

447
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,279
you, you know, you know. On my other show Security this week,

448
00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:14,759
we have a little theme song.
It goes like this criminal career advice.

449
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,400
Nice. Yeah, all right,
anyway, where were we? Let's

450
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,559
talk about some more features of Fiddler
that we might not be talking about,

451
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:29,920
like the API composer. What's the
API composer? So think about you hitting

452
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,599
any type of API. Could be
you know, just a back end service

453
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,319
that you know, somebody else on
your team is building or another team,

454
00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:40,359
or could be you know, an
API halfway across the world. You want

455
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,720
to you know, you a moddel
with things as you're hitting that API,

456
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,799
you want to see what are the
parameters that I can send in what comes

457
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,319
back? Is it Jason? Is
it something else? How can I format

458
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,599
think? How can I be the
man in the middle and you know totally

459
00:32:55,799 --> 00:32:59,279
you know, tweak everything that's going
in and out. So that's what the

460
00:32:59,319 --> 00:33:01,680
APA composer, or is maybe something
said behind an odd wall and you get

461
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,640
to you know, fake things if
you want it to be. So it

462
00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:08,200
is, you know, just an
API composer that you expect from a full

463
00:33:08,279 --> 00:33:13,640
featured app like you know Fiddler,
right, So it's not so much the

464
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:19,200
API composers, the API call composer. Maybe it's the client that hits the

465
00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:22,200
API. Yeah, sure, And
it can be both ways. Like if

466
00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:25,599
if your client application is hitting an
API, then off all of that will

467
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,480
be captured as you know, network
sessions and by the way, I can

468
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:31,799
save my sessions and then Rosin can
you pull up my same sessions, my

469
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:37,000
sessions on his Fiddlers. So that's
nice. But if I am building an

470
00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:38,759
API, or if I'm you know, reaching out to an API that I

471
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:44,680
do not have any control over,
this gives me the visibility to understand how

472
00:33:44,759 --> 00:33:47,200
that API endpoint is working, you
know, especially when it comes to crowd

473
00:33:47,279 --> 00:33:51,759
operations, create a read update and
the leader I need to know exactly what

474
00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:53,960
I need to send in and what
comes back. So it gives me a

475
00:33:54,039 --> 00:33:59,559
visibility and you know, sometimes it
also not quite API composition. But some

476
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,480
of the new are things that we
have done that Rosen and team have done

477
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:06,640
really helped me out as a modern
developer because I do web sockets. You

478
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:07,840
know, I do a lot of
signal art these days, you know,

479
00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:13,800
especially with lem Blazer server side with
you know, dot net, Mary h.

480
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,920
You know, I do a lot
of real time apps. And now

481
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,079
I can you know, step into
a web sockets connection and it'll show up

482
00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:22,719
as a different connection. It's not
you know, multiple HTP requests going back

483
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:28,039
and forth. It's one connection and
then you can dive into and see what

484
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,039
the server and the client are talking
about um and it's it could be Jason,

485
00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:35,760
could be you know, protobuff.
But that's something we're excited about.

486
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:40,199
And as we are speaking today,
Rosen tells me that we are actually very

487
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:45,719
close to putting out a build and
a release that has g RPC support.

488
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,440
Is that right, Rosen? Yes, I'm exactly a sugumationed So in the

489
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,880
next two days, hopefully we'll have
it out. And what will happened is

490
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:59,280
that FED allow you to have the
one HTP two is enabled to capture JRPC

491
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,039
traffic. For this version, it
will be in better state, so we

492
00:35:02,039 --> 00:35:06,559
will not be able to decode the
traffic. But in the future, if

493
00:35:06,559 --> 00:35:10,559
there is an interesting interest from the
people, will probably introduce functionality so you

494
00:35:10,639 --> 00:35:15,920
can give your protofiles and feed or
you'll be able to decode them and make

495
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,599
them human ratable for you. But
for this release, we'll capture the traffic.

496
00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:23,639
We'll capture all of the communication that
happens through gRPC in all the four

497
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:29,920
modes bi directional modes, server only, and all of those. You also

498
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,800
have the x inspector, which will
allow you to Yeah, you'll not see

499
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,559
the fully decoded message, but you'll
be able to at least the text part

500
00:35:37,639 --> 00:35:39,079
of it. You'll see some of
the symbol there. Now, we could

501
00:35:39,079 --> 00:35:45,599
already do gRPC web before because that's
the store htps, right, but yeah,

502
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,960
but gRPC what you're talking about,
is the one that requires HDUP two.

503
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,079
A lot of dat net developers don't
use that right because of you know,

504
00:35:54,199 --> 00:35:58,280
Azure and didn't support HDP two.
I think it does now, but

505
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,280
I'm not sure. Yeah, yeah, it does not. And things are

506
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,960
coming along. I mean, anybody
who's using microservices has to depend on that.

507
00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:09,199
So and the case we dot net
is welcoming gRPC, but you know,

508
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:14,159
open open arms. So things are
moving along, and you know,

509
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,519
we want to make sure we are
set up for you know, the next

510
00:36:16,599 --> 00:36:22,280
you know, five to six years
as you know gRPC growths people. That's

511
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,800
true, the guy. Yeah,
And however, is your you know,

512
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,599
the way in which your serialization decla
works. We don't care like just as

513
00:36:30,639 --> 00:36:35,199
long as it's network we can capture
it. Yeah, as as we can

514
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,880
decrypt it because you've got the right
searts in the right places right now.

515
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:44,039
All of this is essentially for developers
everything that we have talked about, and

516
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,880
again this is how I work.
Is like, this is part of my

517
00:36:46,199 --> 00:36:51,480
you know, deaf tool chain because
I use this every day as I'm building

518
00:36:51,519 --> 00:36:53,800
you know, modern web mobile or
desktop apps. But we have to think

519
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:58,039
about, you know, the other
side of the story when it comes to

520
00:36:58,559 --> 00:37:00,639
end users or you know, your
QA people when they are testing, maybe

521
00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:05,119
they can poke holes in my app
and you know, figure out things that

522
00:37:05,199 --> 00:37:07,599
I have not tested it right.
So if you give them Fiddler, they

523
00:37:07,639 --> 00:37:13,360
can poke around all of those endpoints
and try shutting things on and off,

524
00:37:13,559 --> 00:37:15,280
slowing things down, or you know, speaking things up, and just try

525
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,440
to figure out all the different ways
in which your app can be broken.

526
00:37:19,559 --> 00:37:22,280
So it is, you know,
really good for QA people. But then

527
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:27,239
once your app, you know,
hits uh. You know the end users,

528
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,519
you want to know what's going on, and the classic you know works

529
00:37:30,519 --> 00:37:34,719
on my machine but doesn't work on
yours. That should not be an excuse

530
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,239
anymore. You should be able to
see exactly what the user is experiencing,

531
00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:40,719
and that's where you know, the
end user capturing tools come in. That

532
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,440
is, you know Fiddler jam and
you know Fiddler cap. You mentioned that

533
00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:49,039
you could be working with somebody else
in your team, and I see that

534
00:37:49,159 --> 00:37:53,320
there's some features for team collaboration in
the app, So tell me how that

535
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,599
works. What you can do in
the inside the application is kept or some

536
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,360
sessions. For example, you may
say that you have faced an issue and

537
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:06,480
then you can share them with specific
emails. For example, you can share

538
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,840
them with me and you can even
mark the sessions, let's say four of

539
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,920
them in with right backgrounds just to
note that I need to take a look

540
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,920
at those four or you can even
write a comment on each of them and

541
00:38:17,039 --> 00:38:23,519
say I see something inaccurate here.
What will happen is that if fedure is

542
00:38:23,559 --> 00:38:30,000
running on my side, I will
receive a notification and I will be able

543
00:38:30,039 --> 00:38:35,559
to download this all of those sessions
immediately and inspect them. And I can

544
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,679
even update the comment mark the sessions
in a different way, or even update

545
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,400
them in some way. For example, I can fix some of the parameters.

546
00:38:44,079 --> 00:38:46,880
On your side where feedwa is working, you also automatically receive all of

547
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,599
those updates, so we can work
together to inspect and investigate what is causing

548
00:38:52,679 --> 00:38:58,559
the issues if it's one part of
the of the sharing. In addition,

549
00:38:58,679 --> 00:39:04,000
what you can at this password protection
because we know that the sessions can contain

550
00:39:04,079 --> 00:39:07,320
a lot of safety of information,
passwords, tokens. If you add this

551
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:14,360
password, it will be quiet science
encryption and you shouldn't worry about that if

552
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:19,360
you go through our servers and what
will happen there because it will be already

553
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,639
encrypted and all the people who have
the password will be able to decrypt it

554
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:28,880
well. Cool. The safe can
happen with APR requests. As some already

555
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,840
mentioned, we have the ability to
compose some of those APR requests. I

556
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,039
often use them, by the way, when I do some reverse engineering,

557
00:39:37,559 --> 00:39:40,559
it's kind of useful for me to
capture the traffic to see what a specific

558
00:39:40,639 --> 00:39:46,280
web publication is doing, and then
get some of the requests directly editing the

559
00:39:46,519 --> 00:39:51,960
composer. And of course I try
to remove all of the of the headers

560
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,039
and prodactors just to see which which
of them I actually need, and plus

561
00:39:55,119 --> 00:40:00,760
I have a successful request, then
what I actually do is just export the

562
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,440
request in as a script. Feedwork
has this capability that you can export the

563
00:40:06,039 --> 00:40:12,239
already built requesting in an old script
or cur request or whatever you need,

564
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:17,239
and then I used inside my applications. So what I can do in this

565
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:22,159
case is save this request that I've
already captured. I can save it as

566
00:40:22,159 --> 00:40:23,840
a collection, and if I want
to share it with my team, I

567
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,960
can do it again with emails.
And the last part for the moment is

568
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,119
the sharing of the rules. We've
already mentioned how powerful they can be.

569
00:40:31,559 --> 00:40:37,400
You can spend a lot of time
building your rules. For example, we

570
00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:43,719
have our own rule sets that helps
us test fedure everywhere yeah, it may

571
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,920
be surprising, but in some cases
our case are using feedwork everywhere to tested

572
00:40:49,039 --> 00:40:52,280
or everywhere to see how that we
behave if you have a failure in specific

573
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:59,400
endpoints. So they have as rules
and they can share them with the between

574
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,519
them. When new QUA accounts in
the team, they can just share the

575
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:06,440
those rules and it's easy, beaty
to do it. Yeah. You know

576
00:41:06,559 --> 00:41:09,719
you said when you were talking about
the rule Builder about being able to change

577
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:15,480
things, and I don't want to
gloss over that. I mean a request

578
00:41:15,559 --> 00:41:19,239
in response mocking is a big part
of what that does, and how would

579
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,119
somebody go about using that into one
end so I can try taking that so

580
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:28,679
essentially, and Rosen mentioned a few
ways in which teams can work together,

581
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,559
but to me, like the rules
Builder is particularly best suited for a collaborative

582
00:41:32,599 --> 00:41:38,000
type of environment because you are really
getting down to the details of every request

583
00:41:38,079 --> 00:41:43,599
and response and being able to change
everything about. So when I am building

584
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,679
an app that's hitting a certain endpoint, I want to work with Rosen and

585
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:52,079
I want to save my rules because
that is fine tuned to exactly what my

586
00:41:52,199 --> 00:41:54,960
app is hitting and exactly what we're
expecting out of it. And if I

587
00:41:55,079 --> 00:42:00,599
can save my rules and have him
will up the same on his Fiddler.

588
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,800
Then we are on the same page. We know exactly which api you know,

589
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,760
endpoint we are hitting, what are
the parameters going in and out,

590
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,920
and how we can fake things out
of the way and all of this.

591
00:42:12,079 --> 00:42:15,599
It sounds a little bit like we
are enabling evil. We're just giving you

592
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:20,639
more power if you think about No, you're in a debugging scenario, just

593
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,880
to understand what's going on exactly.
Yeah, absolutely critical. Yeah. I

594
00:42:24,119 --> 00:42:29,960
was thinking about fiddler jam from a
tech support perspective and the number of times

595
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:35,280
I've dealt with a user that has
like some ad in that's a weird old

596
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,679
ad blocker or something and is knocking
out a feature of the website. And

597
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,880
you could go around in circles for
a long time trying to figure out what

598
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,079
the heck that was. But if
you saw the Fiddler trace on it and

599
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:50,880
saw that that message was just not
being received and it wasn't making the request,

600
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,119
you've got a pretty good hint that
the browsers blocking it are some unhandled

601
00:42:54,280 --> 00:43:01,760
JavaScript error. Damn scripting turned off. If that's the worst case. Yeah,

602
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:07,039
but you know, again, the
idea is you know, your engineering

603
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:12,880
hours are you know, valuable,
and we want to sometimes protect those hours.

604
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,360
And that's where you have you know, layers of you know support,

605
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,199
And to Richard's point, you don't
know what people have running on their machines.

606
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,760
Like I am scared to look at
my parents' browsers with all of their

607
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,880
extensions, like they can you know, barely see a webpage. It's just

608
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,800
so full of tools because they say
yes to everything. But Franklin, this

609
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:37,679
is at least one hundred and four
weather applications inner task bar, right,

610
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:42,199
So this is a way in which
they can hit one small button and it

611
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,519
starts capturing as they're utilizing your app, as they're running through an app,

612
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:47,880
and if you you know, let
it, it will also capture a little

613
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,320
bit of video to go along,
like I clicked on this button and you

614
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,480
can see the Fitler logs kind of
you know, follow that along. And

615
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,719
once you have that, you can
you know, give it off to your

616
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,199
first layer of support and they can
say, no, it's that extension thing

617
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,119
that you have blocked toward. It's
that other thing that you have turned off

618
00:44:05,159 --> 00:44:07,440
that's you know, not even letting
you make the request and responses. But

619
00:44:07,599 --> 00:44:12,320
if it is truly a legitimate,
you know, a bug that you want

620
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,079
engineering to take a look at.
That's when you just say, of the

621
00:44:15,199 --> 00:44:17,679
same sessions that you capture from fiddler
jam and you just load it up in

622
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:22,239
Fiddler all the way back to your
engineering teams who can look at a session

623
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,599
as if their app is running on
their local machine. But it's just something

624
00:44:24,639 --> 00:44:29,360
the user has recorded. Yeah,
you don't need to reproduce because you literally

625
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,639
have a copy of a causal problem
in the first place. You skip all

626
00:44:32,679 --> 00:44:37,239
of that. Yeah, And just
to add here regarding fiddler jum, the

627
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,400
one of the most the quest thing
about fiddler jum is that it captures not

628
00:44:40,559 --> 00:44:46,599
only the network requests and sum mentioned
video, it also keptures your actions.

629
00:44:46,639 --> 00:44:52,400
For example, user clicked on this
deep, user scrolled the page, user

630
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:57,960
or different, whatever you're doing on
the on the page, it is captured.

631
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,639
In additional, it captured the the
console walks the terrors. So if

632
00:45:01,679 --> 00:45:06,519
you have an extension that is working
southing, you'll see it in the console

633
00:45:06,599 --> 00:45:09,119
and you'll see it in the capture
walk for fidmore jamp. And the cool

634
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:14,119
thing is that the extension is free. Everyone can stell it and use it.

635
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:20,920
The paid features fell from the analysis
of those walks. So whilst your

636
00:45:21,079 --> 00:45:24,000
your end users capture the traffic,
they will receive a link and they will

637
00:45:24,039 --> 00:45:30,199
send you the link. So you
need to have a vicens to open this

638
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:35,320
link. Cool and then yeah,
it just works everywhere. And what's the

639
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:42,079
difference between JAM and we'll see end
cap. It's a JAM is a browser

640
00:45:42,119 --> 00:45:45,599
based extension. Essentially, it's a
chromo Chromium based extension for you know,

641
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:51,000
your browser based web apps. But
if you rather have a desktop app that

642
00:45:51,039 --> 00:45:53,559
you want to look into. So
fiddler cap is a very lightweight Windows desktop

643
00:45:53,639 --> 00:45:57,920
app. Okay that does the same
thing. So it'll capture everything on your

644
00:45:58,079 --> 00:46:02,199
end user's machine without you having to
you know, have them run through your

645
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,159
entire app. You can just have
it installed and you have them, you

646
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,559
know, execute a few things and
you can capture the same looks. Can

647
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:13,440
I get out of the PC with
Fiddler? Can I try and get all

648
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,039
the traffic off of an IoT device? Like do I convince that device to

649
00:46:17,159 --> 00:46:21,599
add to use me as a proxy? Yes, in a way. And

650
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,920
Rosen can speak more to this,
but you know, at the end of

651
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:29,559
the day, anybody who speaks HTTP
to an endpoint, you can capture it,

652
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,320
but you will have that you need
to have that IoT or any type

653
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:37,440
of other device be able to go
through a machine. Right, So all

654
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,559
of that, you know, devices
traffic is also captured. So you ask

655
00:46:40,599 --> 00:46:45,519
the device to speak to you as
the gateway so that you can then proxy

656
00:46:45,639 --> 00:46:47,920
through it, which not that hard
to do. You said, you can

657
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:52,440
go and can figure the network settings
for that IoT device. You just push

658
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,840
it through that way. So yeah, we are you know, trying to

659
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:59,559
enable developers to have as much visibility. Again, you know, we are

660
00:46:59,599 --> 00:47:00,960
not trying to be able, but
I mean we have had tools like you

661
00:47:01,039 --> 00:47:06,960
know Telarc, you know, disassemble
and we'll let you decompile DLLs, so

662
00:47:07,079 --> 00:47:09,239
you really can you know, reverse
engineer and look through a lot of things.

663
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:13,920
But this is you know, just
literally power in your hands and full

664
00:47:14,079 --> 00:47:15,920
visibility in your hands, so you
know what's going on in your network.

665
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,760
Yeah, I mean I think about
low even lower level tools like wire shark,

666
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,639
but now you're just looking at the
actual network protocols like it's for a

667
00:47:24,679 --> 00:47:28,400
lot of folks, I think it's
too low lew Right, Yeah, you

668
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,440
don't care about a lot of that
information. You want to focus on the

669
00:47:30,559 --> 00:47:35,800
application message traffic. It's flowing back
and forth. Right, it's that protocol

670
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,840
analyzer. It's a debugging tool.
Yeah. And if you care enough about

671
00:47:39,039 --> 00:47:42,920
or if you know what you're doing, especially with you know, proto buff

672
00:47:43,079 --> 00:47:45,760
or you know Rosen mentioned, we
have a hex analyzer that shows you the

673
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:50,719
hex of the requestment responses. That's
a little little hardcore for me, but

674
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,199
if you want it, if you
understood what assembly looks like, then that

675
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,239
would be a useful tool for you. Oh, you can always write your

676
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:01,000
own tool, you know, just
like you can go grow your own electrons

677
00:48:01,039 --> 00:48:05,000
and make a PC for it.
Like, it's a lot of work,

678
00:48:05,199 --> 00:48:07,119
right, I got stuff to do. The goal was to make a tool.

679
00:48:07,159 --> 00:48:10,559
The goal was solved. Problem that
the tool already exists. You should

680
00:48:10,559 --> 00:48:14,239
be used the tool. They've thought
about things you haven't thought about. Yeah,

681
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,599
yeah, exactly. And something that
that we are trying to do is

682
00:48:19,039 --> 00:48:23,840
make it even easier for people to
use the tool. For example, when

683
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:30,960
you want to capture current requests in
order to capture them in feed or you

684
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,519
need to provide a specific argument.
When you want to do it with no

685
00:48:34,679 --> 00:48:37,880
jess, you need to set some
environment variables but instead of doing cool of

686
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:44,079
those, we are trying to introduce
new features inside the application that will automatically

687
00:48:44,159 --> 00:48:46,280
handle those for you. For example, in the next release, we are

688
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:53,159
going to introduce such such option instrumented
terminal that will set all of those for

689
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:58,239
you and will help you. So
instead of wandering, okay, which was

690
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,880
the parameter of how to set it, where to find it and to those,

691
00:49:01,119 --> 00:49:07,679
just run your application through THROUGHDS terminal
and the network requests will be captured,

692
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:13,320
says valid. For the applications with
a bit a bits twits regarding the

693
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:17,840
certificate, you'll be able to run
them through through this terminal and twiteout changing

694
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:23,360
your the configuration inside your application,
you'll be able to capture their network traffic.

695
00:49:23,679 --> 00:49:28,159
Right Yeah, So what essentially Rosen
is trying to point to is we

696
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,199
are thinking ahead as to what you
know, this tool that has been unbeloved

697
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:35,960
and used you know for decades now
by developers, how does this evolve?

698
00:49:36,159 --> 00:49:38,760
And we always want to have developers
have all the power. But you know

699
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:44,000
what's next, Let's think about automation, you know, as we are you

700
00:49:44,119 --> 00:49:46,000
know, and we spend a lot
of time on the minute test of things

701
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:50,199
like the deaf teams do because like
those are important, like how you do

702
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,960
your searches are important, how you
filter down to every detail is important.

703
00:49:54,039 --> 00:49:58,199
We also have ways in which you
can now, you know, take two

704
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,000
rows of sessions. You know,
as we are testing our app, one

705
00:50:01,079 --> 00:50:05,159
failed, one worked, and you
don't know why, right, So now

706
00:50:05,199 --> 00:50:07,920
you can compare every part of that
request, every part of the response to

707
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,880
see exactly what's the difference between two. But all of that again is part

708
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,079
of your deaf workflow. But you
know, if you think about automation,

709
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:19,320
like you want to hit a whole
bunch of APIs and you want to see

710
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,679
what's coming back, and you want
to have all of this as a script.

711
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,840
Right, So now we'll let you
save off your sessions, your request

712
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:29,320
from responses and open it up in
a terminal, open it up as CURL,

713
00:50:29,599 --> 00:50:32,119
and have that as a set of
instructions that you do maybe as a

714
00:50:32,199 --> 00:50:37,519
CICD pipeline. So these are things
we are thinking ahead as to see how

715
00:50:37,679 --> 00:50:39,920
Fiddler evolves. Yeah, well,
I mean, I presume you're not going

716
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:45,119
to get out of the traffic business. But it's about traffic going in and

717
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:49,559
out of a device that I appreciate
that you're getting into different kinds of traffic

718
00:50:49,599 --> 00:50:54,559
which besides just htps. Of course
there's HDP three, But is that really

719
00:50:54,599 --> 00:50:59,639
that much of a stretcher to implement. Are we already you know, using

720
00:50:59,679 --> 00:51:04,920
it? Well, I don't want
to spot the news here, but we're

721
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,639
looking at HTP three, okay,
and we'll see a lot of what will

722
00:51:07,679 --> 00:51:14,800
happen if people demand for it,
then we'll have to do it. Yeah,

723
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,280
I just did a run as episode. We were talking about SMB over

724
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:22,320
quick, which is HDP three.
Just this idea of like no more VPNs,

725
00:51:22,519 --> 00:51:29,800
we want file access but securely and
hand fast and those those techniques work

726
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,920
really well, but they still a
little lower level than web. Yeah,

727
00:51:34,039 --> 00:51:37,599
and as you mentioned, security it
is. Security is quite important for us

728
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:43,199
and everything what we are doing,
we are trying to put all of our

729
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:47,599
efforts to ensure that we will not
expose users information, to ensure that we

730
00:51:47,639 --> 00:51:52,559
will not allow protocol violations. For
example, when we were working on the

731
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:57,559
HTP two, we took a lot
of time to ensure that we are actually

732
00:51:57,679 --> 00:52:01,360
following all the requirements of the protocol
and if something is broken, to be

733
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:06,440
sure that we'll show it to the
users and to tell them they are made

734
00:52:06,639 --> 00:52:10,280
tools that we all ignore such airs, even rather to it for some of

735
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:15,920
them. But we prefer to be
on the safe site and to sndle those

736
00:52:15,119 --> 00:52:20,199
irs in a different way to show
the people that that happened. There might

737
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:24,119
be some issues or there. One
of the latest things that we are introducing

738
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:29,960
is the you know that when you
have a problem with the certificate on some

739
00:52:30,119 --> 00:52:34,079
website, the brothers are trying to
pervate it for you, but in some

740
00:52:34,199 --> 00:52:37,519
cases you want to allow it for
let's say local whose development or some of

741
00:52:37,599 --> 00:52:43,840
your internal servers. So until now
we had an option to ignore all of

742
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,599
those erirors, but we didn't feel
comfortable with it because you had to ignore

743
00:52:47,639 --> 00:52:52,400
all of them, not just for
the specific certificate and domain. So now

744
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,400
we delay. With the new release, we are going to change this and

745
00:52:55,639 --> 00:53:00,280
you'll be able to set it for
all the one of the one of the

746
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,719
certificate that that we have an error. That's cool. So this way we

747
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:07,960
think that our user feel much safer. Also, we are looking at different

748
00:53:08,039 --> 00:53:15,199
compilacies. We are looking to extend
the ability to to ensure that feedwork can

749
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:20,119
work in different environments. As we've
already mentioned, it's working behind wogging.

750
00:53:20,599 --> 00:53:25,119
So we are wondering what will happened
if people need to work without in an

751
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:30,559
restricting environment where they all have no
access to our work endpoints. What will

752
00:53:30,599 --> 00:53:34,440
happen there? How they are going
to use the application. We know that

753
00:53:34,559 --> 00:53:37,880
we have such urist out there.
We just need more information what are the

754
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:43,159
requirements? And we work on it. Interesting, Yeah, very cool,

755
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:49,719
very challenging. So what's next?
What's on the Fiddle the horizon? Well,

756
00:53:50,199 --> 00:53:52,559
the team has been super busy and
we have actually internally, you know,

757
00:53:53,199 --> 00:53:57,559
tried to align you know, it's
a big portfolio products we have,

758
00:53:58,559 --> 00:54:00,960
you know, between t Laric and
you know can the UI and Fiddler and

759
00:54:01,039 --> 00:54:04,840
side Trinity and all lot of the
things we do. So we have been

760
00:54:05,079 --> 00:54:07,559
trying to align some you know,
our releases are you know, the major

761
00:54:07,639 --> 00:54:13,079
releases go out together, so you
know we're looking at maybe three major releases

762
00:54:13,119 --> 00:54:15,679
in a year for Fiddler with you
know, little things in between, service

763
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,880
packs in between. You know,
like Rosen said, we are you know

764
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,960
thinking about offline capabilities. Maybe we
are working with Fiddler on a plane and

765
00:54:23,199 --> 00:54:27,840
you know maybe you're just doing local
hosts and that's fine, so you know

766
00:54:28,159 --> 00:54:30,400
also thinking ahead at you know,
what's next with you know, web sockets,

767
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:35,159
what's next with gRPC? Sure?
What are the little level protocols come

768
00:54:35,199 --> 00:54:37,079
along that matter to us? That's
true. Yeah, so you know,

769
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:42,639
enable developers to see everything in your
network as best as we can. It's

770
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,159
very cool. Thank you guys.
It's been great, great, great work.

771
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,280
All kudos go to you know,
Rosen and the team. It's been

772
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,400
you know, several years of engineering, but we are happy where we stand

773
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:57,199
today. Yeah. I'm sure our
listeners will take a first spin and we'll
