## What it is
Hyperfox is a Go-based security auditing tool that acts as a man-in-the-middle proxy for HTTP and HTTPS traffic, recording all intercepted requests and responses to a SQLite database. It includes an optional web UI and REST API for browsing captured traffic.

## Use cases
- intercept and record http/https traffic between a client and server
- capture web traffic for security auditing
- log http requests to a sqlite database
- inspect api traffic during development
- man-in-the-middle proxy for penetration testing
- browse captured traffic in a web ui

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight CLI mitm proxy that records traffic to sqlite
- you want to audit HTTP/HTTPS traffic on a LAN or from a specific client
- you prefer a simple Go binary over heavier proxies like Burp or mitmproxy

## When to avoid
- you need advanced TLS interception features like custom CA management or request rewriting
- you need a GUI-first interception workflow with scripting support
- you need actively maintained tooling - the latest release dates to 2023
