The post discusses Zxc, a tool designed as a TLS proxy using Rust, which employs tmux and Vim for its user interface. It positions itself as an alternative to BurpSuite, a popular web application security tool. Comments from users indicate interest in collaboration, especially around HTTP/2 support and tooling development that requires flexibility beyond standard specifications. The founder of Caido noted similarities between their Rust codebase and Zxc, showcasing a strong community of developers interested in improving tooling for web security. The focus on Rust suggests a trend toward performance and safety in developing security tools.
Key points:
- Zxc serves as a TLS proxy aimed at enhancing web application security.
- Utilizes modern tools (tmux, Vim) which might appeal to tech-savvy developers.
- Potential for collaboration in enhancing features like HTTP/2 support.
- Highlights the importance of building robust and flexible tooling within developer communities.
