InsecureRequestWarning error when using proxy with python requests

Nicholas | Last updated: Dec 18, 2022 07:34PM UTC

I have a basic python request script that I want to view through a proxy first so I can review all the requests I make easily. I opened up burpsuite pre-installed version on Kali and have this code, ``` proxies = {"http": "http://127.0.0.1:8080", "https": "http://127.0.0.1:8080"} r = session.get("https://www.google.com/", proxies=proxies, verify=False) print(r.text) ``` I check and burp is running open ports, nmap shows ``` PORT STATE SERVICE 8080/tcp open http-proxy ``` My problem is that when I run the script with python version 3.10.8 the request goes through, I can see the request in the burp proxy but my python script then hangs on the request with this error on stdout, ``` /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:1048: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made to host '127.0.0.1'. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/1.26.x/advanced-usage.html#ssl-warnings warnings.warn( ``` so it all goes through but my script wont progress. If I press ctrl+c I get this massive error, ``` ^CTraceback (most recent call last): File "/home/kali/Documents/Projects/Requests-IP-Rotator/main.py", line 24, in <module> main() File "/home/kali/Documents/Projects/Requests-IP-Rotator/main.py", line 20, in main r = session.get("https://www.google.com/", proxies=proxies, verify=False) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 542, in get return self.request('GET', url, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 529, in request resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 645, in send r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 440, in send resp = conn.urlopen( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 704, in urlopen httplib_response = self._make_request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 450, in _make_request six.raise_from(e, None) File "<string>", line 3, in raise_from File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 445, in _make_request httplib_response = conn.getresponse() File "/usr/lib/python3.10/http/client.py", line 1374, in getresponse response.begin() File "/usr/lib/python3.10/http/client.py", line 318, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() File "/usr/lib/python3.10/http/client.py", line 279, in _read_status line = str(self.fp.readline(_MAXLINE + 1), "iso-8859-1") File "/usr/lib/python3.10/socket.py", line 705, in readinto return self._sock.recv_into(b) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/ssl.py", line 1274, in recv_into return self.read(nbytes, buffer) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/ssl.py", line 1130, in read return self._sslobj.read(len, buffer) KeyboardInterrupt ``` I looked online and all I see is that I have to simply add the proxy line in python and it should be good to go to use burp proxy but I am still getting errors. I cant really find anything on how to create the certs or use them. All I do is open up burp and click on proxy maybe I am missing something. running on 6.0.0-kali5-amd64
