Caido, the innovative security testing tool positioning itself as a compelling alternative to Burp Suite, has just rolled out its latest update, version 0.47.0.

This release introduces a slew of exciting features, a revamped user experience, and critical bug fixes, further solidifying its place in the toolkit of security researchers and penetration testers.

One of the standout upgrades in this release is the complete redesign of the Match & Replace functionality. The overhaul brings a more intuitive interface, streamlined workflows, and enhanced flexibility.

Users can now easily add headers with a simplified process and leverage dynamic workflow support for replacements, making it a game-changer for customizing HTTP requests and responses on the fly.

New Features to Boost Efficiency

Caido v0.47.0 introduces several powerful features aimed at improving usability and control:

Invisible Proxying Support: This allows users to intercept traffic from clients that don’t support manual proxy configuration, eliminating a common pain point in testing workflows.
DNS Entry Overriding: Testers can now specify custom IP addresses or DNS servers to resolve domain names, offering greater control over network behavior.
Backend Logs in the UI: Debugging just got easier with direct access to backend logs from the bottom panel of the interface.
Expanded Browser Integration: Both “Replay in Browser” and “View Response in Browser” options are now available across all request/response panes, enhancing the ability to analyze and manipulate traffic seamlessly.
Reload Window Command: A new addition to the command palette, this feature lets users quickly reload the window to recover from potential bugs.

Squashing Bugs and Boosting Performance

The update doesn’t stop at new features it also tackles several lingering issues. Among the fixes:

A missing load indicator during HTTPQL query updates has been replaced with a smooth animation.
Workflow names are now properly saved, and missing workflows in the editor have been resolved.
HTTP History improvements ensure that the newest requests load correctly and responses populate as expected.
Performance enhancements in lazy-loaded tables reduce excessive network requests when switching projects.

Empowering Developers with Plugin SDK Updates

For those leveraging Caido’s extensibility, the Plugin SDK sees significant updates:

A breaking change in the MatchReplaceSDK aligns it with the redesigned Match & Replace system.
The new WorkflowSDK introduces functions like sdk.workflows.getWorkflows(), alongside event triggers such as onCreatedWorkflow(), onUpdatedWorkflow(), and onDeletedWorkflow(), giving developers more ways to interact with workflows programmatically.

Shortly after the main release, Caido v0.47.1 was deployed to address a critical issue preventing users from connecting to remote Caido instances, ensuring uninterrupted access for distributed teams.

With its blend of user-friendly design and advanced capabilities, Caido v0.47.0 continues to carve out a niche as a robust alternative to established tools like Burp Suite.

Whether you’re intercepting traffic, debugging with live logs, or crafting custom workflows, this release offers something for both novice testers and seasoned professionals.

The Caido team shows no signs of slowing down, and this update is a testament to their commitment to evolving the platform. Security enthusiasts can download v0.47.0 now and explore the latest enhancements for themselves.
