RISHHTTPs Inspection on Android with Hyper-V and an Emulator
I’ve been doing some work with Microsoft Intune - specifically around Conditional Access, Azure AD and Intune. There are plenty of guides online for getting a Fiddler trace of HTTPS traffic between Android and a back end, but they all require you to have your Windows Laptop on the same network as your Android device. In a modern corporate network architecture that isn’t easy. The Microsoft support team, my customer network, and my conracting company network were all locked down preventing this setup.
Option 1 - Go Home
Drag the device home and setup fiddler in a few minutes, but if you need to troubleshoot at work, that can be a pain.
Option 2 - Android SDK/Emulator
This will work - as long as you aren’t running Hyper-V on your work machine already - you are? Oh.. well try option 3.
Option 3 - Microsoft Android Emulator + Android SDK
