Hi

I am trying to decode https traffic with fiddler classic. I see error below in Log. I did reset all certificates, trust root cerficates with both MakeCert, CertEnroll engines. Please advice how to fix this issue. I used to decode https traffic with older version (before 2019) of fiddler which used to work without any error. Now i do not find the download link for older version of fiddler.

10:06:28:1870 HTTPSLint> Warning: ClientHello record was 1803 bytes long. Some servers have problems with ClientHello's greater than 255 bytes. https://github.com/ssllabs/research/wiki/Long-Handshake-Intolerance
10:06:28:2315 !SecureClientPipeDirect failed: System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException A call to SSPI failed, see inner exception. < An unknown error occurred while processing the certificate for pipe (CN=www.telerik.com, O=DO_NOT_TRUST, OU=Created by http://www.fiddler2.com).

My Https settings are as below. I see the same issue with both MakeCert, CertEnroll engines.

Both Edge and chrome Browsers give error below when i nagivate to https://www.telerik.com/fiddler/fiddler-classic

Hey Bhavani,

 

Try to install the BouncyCastle certificate generator and then recreate and reinstall the Fiddler root certificate authority (Tools -> Options -> HTTPS -Actions > Reset All Certificates). The BouncyCastle certificate generator is available as an add-on called CertMaker for iOS and Android in the following section:

Hi Nick

Mine is the Windows machine running windows 10 x64 bit OS. Not sure how CertMaker for IOS and Android can help me.

Thank you,

Bhavani

While the name implies that the certificate generator is for iOS and Android, it is actually a universal solution that also works on Windows. It creates certificates with proper expiration periods and offers various cipher suites.

thank you Nick, so Certificate Engine: BCCertMaker.BCCertMaker is decrypting https traffic from both Edge and chrome browsers.

Yes, it will create a certificate authority file (CA) that when installed as user CA, will enable Fiddler to decrypt HTTPS traffic (for all cases where the application respects the user-installed CAs and does not expect a specific pinned CA)
