- description
- Working on the HTTP capture proxy and its replay/fuzz path: the egress guard that stops the proxy becoming an SSRF pivot, why it checks the resolved IP, and keeping capture off the scan's critical path. Trigger: editing scanners/capture_proxy/ (capture_addon.py, egress.py, ingest_worker.py); adding a forward/replay/fuzz path; changing EgressPolicy or the internal denylist; wiring an agent tool that replays captured traffic.

## When to Use
- Changing how the proxy forwards, captures, ingests, or replays traffic.
The one-line "route every egress through the guard" rule is in the capture_proxy
[AGENTS.md](../../scanners/capture_proxy/AGENTS.md) CRITICAL RULES; this skill is the mechanism.
---
## Critical Rules
- **NEVER match the internal denylist on the hostname alone.** The guard denies
on the **resolved IP** (RFC1918 and friends), because a hostname that resolves
to an internal address (or re-resolves after a check) is the SSRF/DNS-rebinding
case. See [scanners/capture_proxy/egress.py](../../scanners/capture_proxy/egress.py) (the block
conditions operate on the resolved IP).
- **NEVER build a replay/fuzz target from unvalidated LLM output and send it
straight out.** The replay path is a new egress path; it must pass the same
`EgressPolicy` guard as captured traffic, or the agent can be steered into an
internal pivot. Args must not reach the wire un-guarded.
- **NEVER remove a block condition to "make replay work".** Each condition is
individually toggleable via `EgressPolicy` (surfaced in settings); loosen it
there, per-condition, not by deleting the check.
- **ALWAYS keep capture and ingest off the scan's critical path.** Capture writes
an append-only spool; a separate worker tails it into Postgres
([scanners/capture_proxy/ingest_worker.py](../../scanners/capture_proxy/ingest_worker.py)). That
decoupling is deliberate - capture must never block or slow the scan it observes.

## The capture pipeline
| Stage | File | Note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| intercept | [capture_addon.py](../../scanners/capture_proxy/capture_addon.py) | mitmproxy addon; request/response hooks |
| egress guard | [egress.py](../../scanners/capture_proxy/egress.py) | resolved-IP denylist + `EgressPolicy` toggles; the SSRF backstop |
| ingest | [ingest_worker.py](../../scanners/capture_proxy/ingest_worker.py) | tails the spool -> Postgres; off the scan path |
## Commands
```bash
docker compose --profile tools build capture-proxy # image rebuild (Dockerfile change)
