Hello - Does anyone have a step by step on how to intercept SSL App Store traffic using BURP and a Windows 8 phone? I know that installed the BURP cert onto the phone is required. So steps on how to do this on the Windows 8 Phone would be great appreciated.

Whatever you're trying to do, it probably won't work due to certificate-pinning.

The App does not use cert pinning.
The store does. This basically eliminates any possibilities of MITM attacks without having the root MS certificate.

Correct..the store does. But I have sideloaded an app from a client that is having a pen test done. Therefore no cert pinning.
*SIGH* stop assuming things, people. Burp Suite is a *very* standard pen-testing tool. "The App does not use cert pinning" was a dead giveaway that the OP was talking about pen-testing a mobile app.
In theory, the process is really simple. Export the Burp public CA (Proxy -> Options -> Proxy Listeners -> CA certificate; make sure to rename it as a .CER file) and send it to the phone (Bluetooth, email, etc.; you should get a prompt to import the cert). Unfortunately, Burp is kind of lazy about how it generates its root certificates, so by default, the phone doesn't treat them as CA root certs. You can generate a custom cert manually and install it on the phone + have burp use it, but that's only going to work for one domain at a time and is a total pain. The other approach that I've found to work (which is silly, but hey, it *does* work) is to do the following:
1) Install Fiddler along with Burp (if you're not on Windows, you can probably use Fiddler via Mono).
2) Run Fiddler, enable SSL interception, disable automatic platform proxy configuration, set the proxy to listen on external connections, and install its root CA cert to the phone (similar to the way you do it from Burp).
3) Set the phone's WiFi proxy options to connect to the Fiddler IP and port.
OK... so far, you're now in a position to intercept traffic. If all you need is basic proxying, this is actually sufficient all by itself, and Fiddler does have a few cool features of its own. However, if you need real pentesting tools, like Burp Suite provides, there's a way to get that anyhow:
4) Run Burp, and set it to listen on a different port than Fiddler is using.
5) In Fiddler's options, configure it to use Burp as the upstream proxy.
6) Disable interception in Fiddler (so you don't have to manually forward traffic all the time) and proceed to use Burp as normal.
Yes, this is silly. It's the easiest solution I've found thus far, though, and I've used it myself.
Heh... I probably just gave technical advice to a competitor. Ah well. Good luck breaking stuff!

You are always such a a help on these boards. It's great. Would the same be true if using the emulator? Or would that differ?
The emulator is a full virtual machine, so it almost certainly has its own cert store (instead of using the host system's store) and therefore you'd have the same problems. I'm not even sure how practical it would be to install the cert to the emulator; I've never tried. If you have the source, you could temporarily disable cert checking in the app I guess... but then, that's one of the most common findings I have with mobile apps, so don't do that unless you've tested the default SSL configuration very closely.
Also, I'm not actually sure how to set the proxy in the emulator. I've never tried before. Probably just easier all around to use a real phone.

Ok...stupid question regarding:
5) In Fiddler's options, configure it to use Burp as the upstream proxy.
I went into Fiddler and selected WinINET options to set Burp as the upstream proxy. So, in Burp, I have it listening on port 8080, All Interfaces, and Generate CA-Signed per host cert. Now in the WinINET (IE Settings), I have port 8080 but I'm not sure what to to put in for the Address field. Do I put my machine name or a specific ip? Burp is listening on all interfaces, so I obv don't want to put in localhost or 127.0.0.1. I also have the WP8 wifi settings to point to my machine name and fiddlers port 8888. I can see the traffic in Fiddler but not burp.
Please help. Thank you
First of all, I said in Fiddler's settings, not in WinINET ("Internet Options"). Tools -> Fiddler Options... -> Gateway -> Manual proxy configuration -> localhost:<PORT>.
With that said, you can just use the system proxy settings too (that's the default behavior in Fiddler); I don't recommend it though because then everything on your box will route through Burp which has unfortunate impacts on network performance and RAM usage.
Internet Properties -> Connections -> LAN settings -> "Use a proxy server for your LAN" -> Address: localhost, Port: <PORT>
In both cases, "<PORT>" means whatever port Burp is listening on (8080). I have no idea what you mean by "Burp is listening on all interfaces, so I obv don't want to put in localhost or 127.0.0.1" given that
A) that is exactly what you want to do
B) there is nothing I can think of that would even remotely lead to believe otherwise.
Granted, loopback is not an explicit network interface on Windows the way it is on Linux, but it is still treated as one in the kernel. Listening on "all interfaces" just means the socket was bound to 0.0.0.0 (or IPAddress.Any in .NET; there's an equivalent option in Java). Listening on 0.0.0.0 will get messages routed both through external interfaces and through localhost (127.0.0.1), or localhost wouldn't be nearly as much use...

I know your question is related to "Burp" but then too felt like sharing a simple and elegant way to intercept SSL traffic for windows phone 8.
This blog contains step-by-step tutorial to set up traffic interception (both HTTP and HTTPs).

You can do it very easy. Default cert file' type of burp is "cacert.der", which is not recognized by windows phone. therefore, you can open 127.0.0.1 8080 which is the burp listener on your PC, then you will see the burp page, click on the "CA Certificate". then you will see the cacert.der is downloading. TIP: You must rename it. YES, you must rename it to "cacert.cer". then push it to your windows phone (e.g. by sending email to your inbox in you WP).
It is the time to open that file in your windows phone, then press install button. Finish.

I downloaded the cab, but i dont know where to go from there. I am just a normal person with a laptop and a tilt.
Do you have a domain set up for your laptop? Probably not so there is no way for you to use the Remote desktop app there are other apps out there but most cost money
You dont need a domain setup to use it. You can just leave that blank. You need to know your IP address, and you need to have a password setup on your machine for remote desktop to work, you can not connect if you do not have a password.
If you are behind a router, you need to forward the correct ports for it to be able to connect to your pc as well.
After its setup, you just need to connect via ip address, through a connection that is not behind a nat, if you are using att, you need to have access to the isp.cingular apn, wap.cingular does not work.
This is a pretty loaded question. Along with the information from fastblack, you'll also need to ensure your version of Windows supports Remote Desktop and that remote connections are allowed. Also depending on the environment there may be other security settings on the machine you are trying to connect to that will need to be considered.
In short, if you don't know how to do this already, it might not be the right solution for you. It can get pretty complicated in some cases.
I have vista premium. Say was to use a router for my laptop and my tilt for wifi. How do i create a password for my computer?

i can understand somewhat if someone comes here asking how to do something on a phone that is in the manual.......but now u're asking something about setting a password on your computer.......i dont use vista, so i can exactly tell you where to look but, i hear that vista comes with this brand new thing.......its called the help files, you should check it out
why not just use logmein (www.logmein.com) easier, faster, better
from logmein use hamachi mobile on the laptop and hamachi regular on the desktop to bypass firewalls....
Oh never mind, you would still need to know how to setup basic network security etc.
If this is the route you want to go pm me and I can send you some links to get started. It's not really that complicated but depending on the details there are alot of variables. Would post the links but would have to start googliny myself
But if you google you find allthe answers and any guide telling you how to RD from a normal computer to another - just treat the handhelp RD software the same.
This is how you do it in XP, Vista setup has to be very similar I bet:
Set the password for the windows user account you log on to on your PC. This can be done in Control Panel - in the User Accounts application.
Next you have to activate the remote desktop function. This can be found by right-clicking My Computer, go to properties, and then to the "Remote" tab. Check the "Allow Users to connect remotely to this computer" box.
Now check your local ip. this can be done by selecting the "Run" button in start, then type cmd and hit enter. In the that window type: "ipconfig" (without the quotes) and a line will read IP address . . . . . 192.xxx.xxx.xxx or something of the sort.
Thats the IP address you connect to, and when the prompt for username and password comes out, type in your Windows User Account respective username and password.
Good luck =)

this is correct assuming you are:
A. attached to wireless
B. on the same network as the PC you are trying to control
if you want to control your home PC externally, there would be 1 additional step, and two optional but recommended steps.
To access remotely (from anywhere in the world), you would have to go into your router configuration and map port 3389 to the ip address of your vista machine. now for the two optional steps that would make your life easier...
1. set a static ip on your vista machine that is out of dhcp range.
2. use a service like dyndns.org and either set this up in your router if compatible, or install the free update client on your PC.
with this setup you should be able to access all your pc resources from anywhere in the world, not only on your PPC device, but any windows PC with a Remote Desktop client.
security note - set a strong password on your vista machine. port 3389 is well documented and scanned for by hackers. if the option is there, while your in your router turn off ping reply.
if all this is foreign to you, find me @ www.insiteitsolutions.com and i will take care of you.
Cab??
I can't find the remote desktop cab anymore. I tried searching the forums. I've looked at Dutty's site and all the cabs. Can someone point me to it please. I think maybe I am just not seeing it for some reason. I'm sure it's there, I've downloaded it before. Thanks!

Hello guys, I have searched for some apps to get the Remote Control, by my fuze to PC, I found remote control, remote pc, remote desktop mobile, and others of them.
The problem is that my home's IP changes every time, so the best app I found was z2remote2PC, becaus this you choose your username and password, and it is all necessary to log in, do not need the system IP, the problem was that I didint achieve the registration for it, I would like to know an APP like this without registration or with the crack/serial, anybody know?
thanks

Now you have to forward port 3389 to the internal ip address of you computer (192.168.1.X or similar) within your router. This website should help you out www.portforward.com . Once that is done, go into system properties ---> remote ---> and enable remote desktop. Download and install no-ip DUC (dynamic update client) and let it startup with your PC (this allows your external ip to be constantly mapped to XXXXXX.no-ip.org)
To access your remote desktop. type in XXXXXX.no-ip.org within the remote desktop window.
If you need any help. Feel free to ask!
make your life easier, just use logmein. all you gotta do is install the client on your phone and desktop and log in from your phone and you can access your desktop anywhere in the world.
is it possible to connect to WPA Enterprise networks via WiFi? because I'm searching for a ROM which would allow to connect to the network on my university, which runs the following configuration:
SSID: eduroam
type: WPA-Enterprise
key exchange scheme: TKIP
authorization: EAP-PEAP-MSchapv2
IP: via DHCP
I tried it with the Energy ROM from the forum, but it doesn't allow me to enroll the certificate or it doesn't want to accept it. the other way round it doesn't allow me to enter a user name, I can only put in my password.
could somebody give me a hint what to do? I was searching the forum, found some registry hacks, but none worked
Try to change:
HKLM\\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms\WPAMixedMode
from 1 to 0.
ok, I tried it, but still the same happens:
I enter everything in the configuration menu of the comm manager, click 'next' and then I have to choose a certificate to log on - a little bit lower is a button called 'Enroll', which does nothing when hit. When I try to click 'done' it says that I have to enroll a certificate, so there's only cancel left ...
still doesen't work
well ... can somebody help please?
//edit:
well, as it seems nobody really knows how to work that out ...
Because I'm at my university every two weeks for the weekend, I'll be able to test this way of trying to connect to the WPA enterprise network in a week. but perhaps somebody else can confirm or obey this workaround:
Connect your device to your desktop/laptop and when WindowsMobileDeviceCenter (Win 7: just type the name in the search field in the start bar) opens go to Mobile Device settings >> More >> Get Device Certificates >> I know What Certificate I need to Enrol >> User ... then click enroll. Watch your device as you will be prompted to install the cert. Follow the prompts and after a few seconds you're done. When you setup your wifi connection choose PEAP and enter all the needed information.

thanks a lot for this tip, it looks a little bit different on a customized ROM and stuff, but in general it worked - I'll try it on friday or saturday, then I'll be at my university and able to give feedback!
when it'll work, I'll post a translated how-to in this thread...
sorry, I wasn't able to establish the connection with the tip by jones23 ... perhaps it works with WPA2, but not here ...
Hello,
what is the status of this? Did you find a solution?
I have the same issue since I flashed the EnergyROM.
Any ideas?
unfortunately it's truely not possible, I wasn't able to connect to the configuration from the first post using the HTC Diamond II ... damn thing!
but I'm gonna try this weekend something different: imho it's just a software problem, it's got nothing to do with hardware ... so I'm gonna try a dual boot with android and connect with that, perhaps this will work. I'll give feddback
ok, during clicking around on the device I found the solution:
Comm Manager -> Settings -> WLAN -> Network Cards
Here you can ignore the certificate and enter login data for the WIFI network.
Hopefully someone else can use this information.
@ taschenuhr
thats great to hear
@ others
perhaps you can use a notebook for testing purposes, since the connection & login data is the same. there's a windows (mac) version of that same client software.
I've enhanced my Webserver sample to support reading from the device (where allowed), as well as reading/writing IsolatedStorage
The XAP is located in the Webserver project.
To access the webserver, open the app on your phone (it will disable the idle timer and run behind the lock screen--but WiFi will turn off, so you'll want to be connected via USB or don't let it sleep)
//phone_ip/IsolatedStorage
//phone_ip/Windows
IsolatedStorage is a special case (virtual directory that uses the SDK IsolatedStore APIs), the filesystem is mounted at the root of the webserver. Note that if you navigate to //phone_ip/, you will not see anything, as we are not able to list the contents of the root directory.
I am working to create a real socket library that mimics System.Net/.Sockets, and System.IO for file access. TcpClient and TcpListener are in a mostly functional state already.
Most of the socket and I/O code came from jmorrill. I have pulled code from mono to mimic System.Net.
Perhaps I'll spend some time on the web UI next, maybe a fancy Silverlight uploader. There doesn't seem to be a ton of interest though, so we'll see.
Update ("v2"):
- Authentication
- UI
- Adapter list
- More reliable
nice.. will try it out.
Very nice! Thanks!!
I've updated the sample to one with a UI, Authentication and more reliability.
Looking at your code WP7 looks more and more like a normal windows CE with a secured UI.
Yeah, I think someone with a strong WM background could port code to [native, homebrew] WP7 pretty quickly. Pretty much everything works just fine.... I just wish we could add the System.Net .NET CF assemblies back to the GAC. :/

I think (might be misreading your question), you'll need to plug your device in to USB (or be prepared to loose the connection), then on your desktop, go to one of the IPs listed (in IE or any other browser).
On the screenshot shown, WiFi is the last one, with "BCMSDDHD1" attached to the label, thought the device name may be different for you. Try one that has "192.168.1." as that'll be the most likely option.

I don't know what the default password is, but if you type admin/admin in on the device for user/pass that works fine.

So you'll need to change it, unless you can read minds

Ba-da-bing! We are in business.
this works great! does this work just over USB? I assumed that since I didnt see an SSID advertised that the webserver wasn't broadcasting over WiFi.
A few feature suggestions:
* Make it clearer in the device UI to use the last IP address. I had assumed I would use the SERIAL ON USB IP address
* When browsing files, show a detail view so that you can see date/time modfied, type (optional), size
* when in a subdirectory add an Up ellipsis (...) to more easily walk back up the directory tree.
* be able to filter a directory listing so that you can display just certain file types (ie *.exe)
* Be able to download files
I love it! Its handy to be able to get a file listing that you can copy so that you can capture file listings.
Scratch the suggestion to add downloading files, the filenames are of course URLs which enable http downloads
I found a bug. When you click on a file to download it the href seems to have an issue since the file extension is stripped. You can easily add it during the save but it would be easier to have that done by default. I need to check the syntax but for example for filebrowser.exe the html is:
FileBrowser.exe<br />
This was handy so that it was possible to download an EXE and see what certificate is used for signing.
It looks like if you press Back or Start the webserver shuts down or is tombstoned.
I wonder if anyone has come up with a way to keep an application from being killed.
If that was possible then the webserver could provide active control. In that case if it was running in the background a great feature to add would be a screen capture function.
Hi folks,
Our school features HD-beamers in every classroom, so chromecasts would be ideal for the teachers to present their stuff on a large screen.
That said our school is connected to the internet via a proxy-server, which offers content-protection.
I cannot touch the proxy-servers configuration so i would really need a way to make chromecast work through a proxy.
I managed to use my android-phone with the proxy via sandroproxy.
I am not a programmer and do not know about the problems in detail but from a general perspective it shouldn't be too difficult for the chromecast to direct all internet-connections through a certain server and port is it?
Would be glad if someone came up with a solution.

Chromecast is difficult because there is very little you can configure, and unlike your phone you can't sideload - or load apps in general.
Instead of doing it on a per-device basis, it might be easier to see if the WiFi access point or router can be made to go through the proxy, similar to how some routers can be made to connect to a VPN, etc.
I would think that all the setup needed would already be done for you on the AP side of things.
(if done correctly) You shouldn't need to configure anything it should all be setup to use the proxy on any connection.
Most proxies are set to only deny certain sites not all except...
Do you have to enter proxy information in your browser manually to get onto the net? If so or if IT comes in to setup your computer before you can browse with it the first time, then it's probably not set up automatically.
If you explain to your IT Dept what it is your trying to do I am willing to bet they can make an exception for the MAC Addy of the CCast.
