Intercepting data on Android Device

Joshua | Last updated: Jul 04, 2018 12:37PM UTC

Hello, Please can someone help me with the following: I am trying to use Burp Suite to see my network traffic on my mobile device however when I connect it I can see the request in the Burp Suite however my phone will not connect to any web pages including HTTP or HTTPS. In the "Alerts" tab I have the following error: [10] The client failed to negotiate an SSL connection to (website):443 Received fatal alert: certificate_unknown I have downloaded the cacert on the device, renamed it to cacert.cer and installed however this didn't help. I have opened the ports on my Router, I am not sure if that will make a difference. I have tried other mobile devices with and they have the same symptoms Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your quick response. That information is much appreciated however unfortunately I don't seem to be able to rename the cacert using OPENSSL. I am able to convert the cacert from DER to PEM using the command in the article, however the following command does not work for me: openssl x509 -inform PEM -subject_hash_old -in cacert.pem |head -1 I receive the following error: OpenSSL> x509 -inform PEM -subject_hash_old -in cacert.pem |head -1 x509: Unknown parameter |head x509: Use -help for summary. error in x509 I understand this is probably beyond when support you can provide as it's 3rd party software but if you have any advice it would be much appreciated. Thanks again.
