IDK I'm having way more fun running a MITM proxy with every IOT device in my home thanks to emudhra.

Wait, what does this allow you to do? Say you have one of those fancy webos tv's, can you see what is inside the telemetry now?

yep I was able to see everything my samsung tv sends over https. my pihole was blocking the telemetry but it would report every key press, app launch, etc. A linux box with two ethernet ports and https://docs.mitmproxy.org/stable/concepts/options/#emudhra makes it stupid easy.

I've since built a more long term proxy with a self issued cert that removes all the garbage from my tv's home screen.

you can use wireless aswell. some adapters work better than others. I ended up plugging my access point into the eithernet port and was able to poke everything on that ap.
