Fiddler Presentation

Fiddler is a free web debugging tool that allows users to view, analyze, and modify web traffic from any application that supports a proxy. It runs as a local proxy and registers as the system proxy while capturing traffic. Fiddler enables HTTPS interception via a self-signed certificate and is extensible through JavaScript or .NET. It can be used to measure performance, analyze caching and compression, and simulate different network conditions. Traffic can also be modified, redirected, or archived for later analysis.
