Hello everyone,
I work at a digital agency that has quite a few machines that are
managing some Instagram accounts, they are all running in the same LAN
and we are using Squid as a proxy to log and analyze some usage
statistics and to make sure the machines are only used for Instagram.
We had an idea to use Squid to capture the POST data of users on the
proxy level, for example, likes, follows, comments, etc so we can log
and analyze everything in a convenient central way, so we can analyze it
and even send out clients a monthly report of all the actions their
accounts made (who they followed, what they liked, etc).
I can easily see the requests that I want to capture inside the
"network" tab in Chrome but the problem is that Instagram uses HTTPS, so
I can't seem to be able to capture this data.
Is there any way for me to log this data via Squid using the POST data
or any other way?
Access to HTTPS transactions for a domain you do not own requires the
SSL-Bump feature to decrypt ("bump") the TLS layer.
see <https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SslPeekAndSplice>.
You could use cache.log with "debug_options ALL,1 11,2" configured to
log the transactions. However an ICAP service or eCAP module that does
both the record and analyze for you is probably better.
Note: We are aware of the legal issues, all machines connected to the
network are company property, and all the accounts are client accounts
that allow us to gather statistics. No personal account data will be
gathered.
Please be aware:
That statement conflicts with the stated purpose(s) of your plan.
Personal data *will* be part of the messages you are decrypting and
recording for analysis. Further, to perform targeted reports such as
described you must also associate the data with accounts somehow.
