Fiddler – Find bugs, troubleshoot performance problem, uncover security vulnerabilities, learn it all from the Fiddler developer himself
Fiddler is a popular, easy-to-use, fully extensible web debugging platform developed in C#. Within its simple UI lurks the power to capture, modify, and replay traffic from any browser or application that uses HTTP/HTTPS.
In this session, presented by Fiddler’s developer, you’ll learn how to use Fiddler to find bugs, troubleshoot performance problems, and uncover security vulnerabilities in both client and server code. We’ll explore the best add-ons for Fiddler, and I’ll demonstrate how to build upon Fiddler’s rich extensibility model with both JavaScript and .NET languages.
I’ll demonstrate and explain the latest improvements in Fiddler, including support for Web Sockets and Windows 8 applications, and I’ll show you how to build Fiddler-like functionality into your applications using FiddlerCore.
