ESP8266 Community Forum

- Fri Sep 30, 2016 10:42 am #55918 Hi!

I don't even know if what I want is possible, but let's try. My Android phone is rooted and last days it has been trying to install new apps and behaving very strangely in other ways. I would like to know if it's sending information somewhere and I thought ESP8266 would be a great fellow to check that. I'd like to know if I can connect my phone to the ESP8266 (set in AP mode) and get a log of all the http requests my phone does. Of course I could use a server on the ESP8266 and modify the hosts file of the phone to redirect ll the traffic to the server IP, but I prefer not to modify it if it's possible to get the request list easily.

Is there any easy way to achieve what I want? Thanks very much.

I think you missed the point: OP needs to log requests made from the phone to any server, not his own server; what he needs is an HTTP proxy. A quick google search suggests the following thread in this forum:
