Whoops - read the comment above....

1. Just turn on network sharing over wifi and run a packet sniffer (in osx).
2. Then connect to the new network from iphone over wifi.
(SystemPreferences->Sharing->InternetSharing)

Use Cocoa Packet Analyzer http://www.tastycocoabytes.com/cpa/index.php

WORK LIKE A CHARM!!!

Thanks for the tutorial – I've managed to get this going but this is only a solution for HTTP GET/POST requests…. is there anyway i can see ALL the traffic – I have certain apps that I would like to see how they work and they give me an error saying “Connection Error” – obviously they can't connect through the proxy – is there another work around for this?!?!

Thanks in advance!

I haven't tried this myself, but somebody on Hacker News mentioned that you could accomplish something like this using network sharing in OSX.

Just turn on network sharing over wifi and run a packet sniffer (in osx). then connect to the new network from iphone over wifi.
SystemPreferences->Sharing->InternetSharing
Cocoa Packet Analyzer http://www.tastycocoabytes.com/cpa/index.php</b...>

Might be worth a try…

Works also great with BURP proxy.
But only for HTTP packets. Is there a way to proxy all traffic, so also apps running on alternate TCP ports?
