Why this matters

A proxy gives students a structured way to inspect and modify training web traffic, but must remain scoped to authorized applications.

02 · VISUALIZE

See what happens internally

03 · PRACTICAL

Perform the activity

  1. Use the proxy visualization.
  2. Identify which data would be visible to a proxy.
  3. Later, intercept only the provided training application when the isolated lab is enabled.
Workshop safety: Activities involving scanning, web vulnerabilities or security testing must be performed only on the assigned training target or intentionally vulnerable lab.
04 · CODE / COMMANDS

Read and understand the working example

Browser -> Burp Proxy -> Authorized Training App

This example is shown for guided learning. Real host/network execution is reserved for the isolated cyber-range stage.

05 · CHALLENGE

Prove your understanding

Explain what changes when traffic passes Browser → Proxy → Training App instead of directly to the app.
