Using mitmproxy inside a Python script to connect to upstream proxy (with user & password)

0 votes

I am trying to use mitmproxy behind a company proxy that requires a user/password login.

The setup is: Local PC's browser -> mitmproxy (on local PC) -> company proxy -> internet.

Based on this SO thread, this is how you use mitmproxy within a Python program. This example works fine when there's no proxy.

from mitmproxy.options import Options
from mitmproxy.proxy.config import ProxyConfig
from mitmproxy.proxy.server import ProxyServer
from mitmproxy.tools.dump import DumpMaster

class Addon(object):
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def request(self, flow):
        # examine request here 
        pass

    def response(self, flow):
        # examine response here
        pass


if __name__ == "__main__":

    options = Options(listen_host='0.0.0.0', listen_port=8080, http2=True)
    m = DumpMaster(options, with_termlog=False, with_dumper=False)
    config = ProxyConfig(options)

    m.server = ProxyServer(config)
    m.addons.add(Addon())

    try:
        print('starting mitmproxy')
        m.run()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        m.shutdown()

Assuming the company proxy is at IP "1.2.3.4" port 3128 and requires a login USER and PASSWORD, how can I change this script to have mitproxy use that proxy instead of going to the internet directly?

Addition info: I am not using mitmdump with the script-parameter to run this script. The goal is to run this from Python 3.8 with a pip-installed mitmproxy

I'm trying to write a python script that writes some content to a file root through sudo, but it's not working at all. I am using:

 channel = 'stable'
 config_file = '/opt/ldg/etc/channel.conf'
 command = ['echo', '-n', channel, '|', 'sudo', 'tee', config_file]
 p = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
 out, _ = p.communicate()

But it seems as if this isn't doing anything.

I just want to write the contents of the variable channel to the file /opt/ldg/etc/channel.conf. But whatever I try just doesn't work. Can anyone offer any pointers?

I am using Python 2.7, MySQl 5.5, mysqldb(driver) and trying to connect to the mysql db using Python.

What I have tried

import MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost",
                     user="root", # username
                      passwd="xxxxx", #  password
                      db="TEST") # name of the data base

Even tried 127.0.0.1 as local host

#ERROR
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python27/connect.py", line 6, in <module>
    db="prakash") # name of the data base
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\__init__.py", line 81, in Connect
    return Connection(*args, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\connections.py", line 187, in __init__
    super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2)
  OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)")

I am new to python, please help how to proceed?
