- Secret preference method for jailbroken devices
- Enable HTTP instrumentation method
Description
Simple pure python utility for sniffing HTTP/HTTPS decrypted traffic recorded by one of Apple's not-so-well documented APIs.
Installation
python3 -m pip install -U harloggerProfile method for macOS host
This method applies to Apple's CFNetwork profile. This profile is meant for debugging processes using the CFNetwork framework. This method doesn't include the request/response body.
Howto
-
Download Apple's CFNetwork profile which can be found here: https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/iOS/iOS_Logs/NetworkDiagnostic.mobileconfig
-
Install it using double-click
-
That's it! :) You can now just start sniffing out everything using:
python3 -m harlogger profile
Profile method for non-jailbroken devices
This method applies to Apple's CFNetwork profile. This profile is meant for debugging processes using the CFNetwork framework. This method doesn't include the request/response body.
Howto
-
Download Apple's CFNetwork profile which can be found here: https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/iOS/iOS_Logs/CFNetworkDiagnostics.mobileconfig
-
Install it via any way you prefer. I'm using
pymobiledevice3:# if you don't already have it python3 -m pip install -U pymobiledevice3 # install the profile pymobiledevice3 profile install CFNetworkDiagnostics.mobileconfig
-
That's it! :) You can now just start sniffing out everything using:
python3 -m harlogger mobile profile
Output should look like:
➜ harlogger git:(master) ✗ python3 -m harlogger profile

Secret preference method for jailbroken devices
iOS 14.x devices contain a hidden feature for sniffing decrypted HTTP/HTTPS traffic from all processes using the
CFNetwork framework into an HAR
format. To trigger this feature on a jailbroken device, you can simply place the correct configuration
for com.apple.CFNetwork and trigger the com.apple.CFNetwork.har-capture-update notification.
This method includes the request/response body as well.
iOS 13.x or under don't have this feature.
Howto
- Put com.apple.CFNetowrk.plist inside
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/ - Restart the device
- That's it! :) You can now just start sniffing out everything using:
python3 -m harlogger preference
Output should look like:
➜ harlogger git:(master) ✗ python3 -m harlogger mobile preference

Enable HTTP instrumentation method
Starting at iOS 15.0, the device will require the target process to have any of the following requirements:
com.apple.private.cfnetwork.har-capture-delegationentitlementget-task-allowentitlementcom.apple.security.get-task-allowentitlement- OS build to be in
debugmode
In order to make the device enable HAR logging you may
use pymobiledevice3 as follows:
python3 -m pymobiledevice3 developer dvt harNow you can start sniffing using the preference method:
python3 -m harlogger preference
