I install MAMP: https://www.mamp.info/en/downloads/
MAMP is a compilation of free open source software to manage dynamic websites on computers running macOS or Windows: Apache, the web server; MySQL, the database management system; phP, Perl or Python, programming languages used for web development.
Install Homebrew: Homebrew is a free open source software management system that simplifies the installation of software on Apple's macOS and Linux operating system.
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
The script asks to switch to superuser mode via the sudo command and asks to type the password several times.
At the end of the installation you get a successful installation!
I install mitmdump which is in the mitmproxy package
brew install mitmproxy
Validate the installation by tapping mitmdump –version
mitmdump --version Mitmproxy: 4.0.4 Python: 3.7.5 OpenSSL: OpenSSL 1.1.1d 10 Sep 2019 Platform: Darwin-17.7.0-x86_64-i386-64bit
I start MAMP and not MAMP PRO which is paid
I get the home page of my Apache web server that is booted on port 8888 by default I can reach by typing localhost:8888 as url in my browser.
If I go into the MAMP -Preferences menu I can change the ports used.
I downloaded from the github source of cookieViz https://github.com/LINCnil/CookieViz via the Clone and download link. It is also possible to start a terminal and place yourself at the root of the WEB Apache server.
By default the root is in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ but you can change it via the MAMP graphical interface
cd /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ git clone https://github.com/LINCnil/CookieViz.git
By default the default user of the database is "root" and password "root" To change t
he password by default: https://docume

lications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password
Adding a user phpmyadmin – mysql – user 'add a user' tab User Accounts
I added a user 'cookvi' with password 'cookvi'
I edited the settings.inc file via a text editor or nano control
/**
The database server used by CookieViz.
Default is 'localhost' and should be fine for most cases.
If 'localhost' doesn't work and the database runs locally, try '127.0.0.1'.
*/
define ('DB_SERVER', '127.0.0.1:8889');
...
define ('DB_USER', 'cookvi');
/**
The password of the CookieViz database user.
*/
define ('DB_PASSWD', 'cookvi');
I then edited the nano monitor_mitmdump.php file of the directory /soft
cd /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/CookieViz/soft/ nano monitor_mitmdump.php
I went to http://localhost:8888/phpmyadmin/ and I created a new CookieViz base
I clicked on the created database and i used the "import" function and loaded the file /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/CookieViz/cookieviz/sql/url_referer-1.sql which contains the table structure
Edit the four values below
$PROXY-HOST – "localhost"; Proxy server addre
ss $PROXY-PORT – "8082"; Proxy server p
ort $PROXY-USER -""; Userna
me $PROXY-PASS -""; Password
CookieViz is php5 compatible and not phpt7 you should expect changes in the code:
Replacing:
$link - mysql_connect ('localhost', '', '') by $link - mysqli_connect ('127.0.0.1:8889', 'cookvi', 'cookvi','CookieViz')
mysql_select_db ('CookieViz') by mysqli_select_db ($link, 'CookieViz')
mysql_error() by mysqli_connect_error()
mysql_query ($query) by mysqli_query ($link, $query)
mysql_fetch_assoc ($result) by mysqli_fetch_assoc ($result)
mysql_close ($link) by mysqli_close ($link)
Start a server mitmdump on port 8082: mit
mdump -p 8082 -w mitmdump.log
I am now launching the php script /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/CookieViz/soft/monitor_mitmdump.php
At the firefox level I went into network preference sets in the general settings and I configured the proxy
We find that we have connections that pass through the proxy Prox

The results can then be viewed on the web server http://localhost:8888/CookieViz/cookieviz/
