Several significant upgrades have arrived with Caido’s latest release, giving security professionals a serious alternative to industry staples like Burp Suite. The v0.47.0 update packs a punch with Invisible Proxying Support, letting testers intercept traffic without manual proxy configuration. About time.
DNS Entry Overriding now allows custom IP addresses for domain resolution—a feature security professionals have been clamoring for. The update also includes workflow name saving, which resolves previous issues where workflows would mysteriously disappear from the editor.
DNS overriding feature finally drops—now security pros can point domains to custom IPs without hacky workarounds.
The UI got some love too. Backend logs are now accessible right in the interface’s bottom panel. No more switching between windows just to figure out why something broke.
Browser integration expanded across all request/response panes, making traffic analysis less of a headache. And that new Reload Window Command? Lifesaver when things get buggy.
Performance issues got squashed. HTTP History now correctly loads the newest requests without throwing a fit. Those annoying excessive network requests when switching projects? Fixed.
The team also added smooth animations for HTTPQL query updates, replacing that missing load indicator that left users wondering if their query was even running.
Plugin developers weren’t forgotten. The WorkflowSDK brings new functions like sdk.workflows.getWorkflows() and event triggers for workflow management. Unlike Burp Suite which has a steep learning curve, Caido’s intuitive design makes it more accessible to developers of all experience levels.
Sure, there’s a breaking change in MatchReplaceSDK, but it aligns with the completely redesigned Match & Replace system. Worth it.
Caido’s positioning itself as the modern alternative to outdated tools. The interface feels revitalizing, not like something designed during the dot-com bubble.
It works for both newbies and veterans, with automation that actually makes sense. The tool delivers continuous monitoring capabilities similar to what managed security services provide, but in a self-service format.
A critical v0.47.1 patch followed quickly to fix connectivity issues with remote instances. Quick response. Nice.
For security professionals tired of the same old tools, Caido’s latest release might just be the refreshing change they need. Modern, efficient, and actively improving. The old guard should be nervous.
