Built-in HTTP packet capture tools for several mainstream browsers

For those who study websites or related programmers, HTTP packet capture tools are often used to track webpages. However, mainstream packet capture software such as httpwatch and httpanalyzerstdv are charged, and the cracked version is often unstable. In fact, many browsers now have built-in free packet capture tools. Today we will introduce several small series of tools.

Tools/Raw Materials

• Several common browsers

Method/step

1. 1

   Google Chrome's HTTP packet capture tool has a simple and elegant interface and powerful functions. The only drawback is that the interface is in English. Open Method: click menu> Tools> developer tools in the upper right corner.

2. 2

   Is the interface after opening. You can access a page to test the jewelry results. After the tool is enabled, the monitoring status is displayed by default. Click the red dot record network log in the upper-left corner of the tool to record all packet capture results during the entire access process. Otherwise, only the packet capture results on the current page are recorded, this option is useful when a packet capture record has a jump page. To clear the packet capture result, click the small circle clear on the right of the red dot.

3. 3

   Click the dock to main window in the upper-right corner to display the interface in an independent window.

   If you click an HTTP request, the detailed information of the request, including the request header, request method, submitted content, and cookie, is displayed on the right of the tool.

   The following describes the Firefox browser, which is opened in a similar way as Google Chrome. Click the menu in the upper right corner and select a developer.

   Firefox has a wide range of tools. Here we choose networks.

7. 7

   The subsequent usage methods are similar. The Firefox packet capture tool interface is in Chinese, and the image preview function is available. If you place the cursor over the captured image request, the image will be displayed, is an excellent packet capture tool.

8. 8

   Our commonly used 360 browser also has built-in HTTP packet capture tool. Open Method: tool --> developer tool.

9. 9

   After opening it, we will find that 360 actually uses Google's packet capture tool. We will not go into details about how to use it.

10. 10

    Of course, you can't forget ie at the end, and the way that IE opens the packet capture tool is similar. tool --> F12 developer tool, but IE has a feature that when no page is opened, this option is unavailable in gray.

11. 11

    Open a page and use this option.

12. 12

    In the same way, the IE packet capture tool is disabled by default. You can click Start to capture network traffic.

13. 13

    Select a result and click details. The tool displays the details of the HTTP request. Several browsers are introduced here. The usage of other browsers should be similar.
