Description

From the listing uploaded by “apkmolds”.

Packet capture/Network traffic sniffer app with SSL decryption. Not that feature rich yet, but it's a powerful debugging tool especially when developing an app. If you can't capture your app's SSL packets Do one of the followings: - Set targetSDKversion to 23 or lower - Setup security config described as 'The default configuration for apps targeting Android 6.0 (API level 23) and lower' at https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-config.html#base-config Features - Capture network packets and record them. - SSL decryption using man-in-the-middle technique. - No root required. - Easy to use. - Show packet in either hex or text. You don't need to setup a dedicated proxy server on your PC. All you need is just your Android device. How to get rid of PIN number If you want to get rid of entering PIN number on a lock screen after Packet Capture is uninstalled, it is needed to clear credential storage. Go to OS Setting->Security->Clear credentials

Packet Capture APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Packet Capture APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 10bf00568325d7355db483bd257fdf66.
