MITMf is a Python framework for performing Man-In-The-Middle and network attacks, featuring built-in SMB, HTTP, and DNS servers, an SSLStrip-based proxy, and modular plugin support. The project is explicitly no longer maintained, with the author recommending Bettercap instead.

Use cases

• intercept and modify HTTP traffic on a local network
• capture credentials from protocols like FTP, SMTP, and NTLMv2
• perform SSL stripping attacks with partial HSTS bypass
• spoof DNS and SMB responses during a pentest
• filter and manipulate arbitrary network packets on the fly
• build custom MITM attack plugins in Python

When to choose

• you need a modular Python framework to prototype a custom MITM attack
• you are studying legacy MITM techniques or doing historical security research
• you must run an old pentest lab environment that depends on MITMf plugins

When to avoid

• you want a maintained MITM tool - use Bettercap instead
• you need Python 3 support, since MITMf requires Python 2.7
• you need modern TLS/HSTS bypass capabilities
• you want long-term support or bug fixes
