PolarProxy 2.0 Released

Brief

A new major release of PolarProxy is out with a self-contained single-file binary, expanded platform support (musl/ARM64), and improved container and service plumbing.

PolarProxy is a transparent TLS/SSL inspection proxy built for incident responders, malware analysts and security researchers. It decrypts and re‑encrypts TLS traffic and writes decrypted sessions to PCAP for analysis in Wireshark or an IDS.

What's new

  • Packaged as a self-contained, single-file binary for easier installation and management.
  • Improved HTTP proxy server: support for unencrypted HTTP traffic with --nontls allow
  • Upgraded runtime: migrated from .NET 8 to .NET 10.
  • More supported platforms: Linux musl (Alpine) builds for the ARM64 architecture added.
  • Simplified container deployment: Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml included with all musl/Alpine releases.
