How to start OWASP ZAP proxy with Chrome webdriver and java?


I download today (13-05-2020) a new OWASP ZAP. I regenerate root CA certificate. I configure local proxy to localhost:8092

enter image description here

After un run a simple java code:

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

    Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
    proxy.setAutodetect(false);
    proxy.setHttpProxy("localhost:8092");
    proxy.setSslProxy("localhost:8092");

    final OperatingSystem currentOperatingSystem = OperatingSystem.getCurrentOperatingSystem();
    String pathWebdriver = String.format("src/test/resources/drivers/%s/googlechrome/%s/chromedriver%s", currentOperatingSystem.getOperatingSystemDir(),
            SystemArchitecture.getCurrentSystemArchitecture().getSystemArchitectureName(), currentOperatingSystem.getSuffixBinary());

    if (!new File(pathWebdriver).setExecutable(true)) {
        logger.error("ERROR when change setExecutable on " + pathWebdriver);
    }

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", pathWebdriver);
    final ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
    chromeOptions.addArguments("--ignore-certificate-errors");

    chromeOptions.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);
    chromeOptions.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
    chromeOptions.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_INSECURE_CERTS, true);

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
    for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
        //driver.get("http://www.google.com/ncr");

        // www.google.com work (OWASP ZAP list all requests) but not localhost
        driver.get("http://localhost:8080/ui");

    }
    driver.quit();
}

Selenium script run OK but OWASP ZAP don not intercept any requests.

Solution

  • You'll need to ensure you include SSL proxy details (along side the HttpProxy details), ex: proxy.setSslProxy("<proxy-host>:<proxy-port>");, or more specifically proxy.setSslProxy("localhost:8092"); for your code

    To be able to proxy localhost in modern versions of Chrome you need to remove loopback from the proxy bypass list as follows: --proxy-bypass-list=<-loopback>, or in your code specifically: chromeOptions.addArguments("--proxy-bypass-list=<-loopback>");

    You may also want to consider adding: chromeOptions.addArguments("--ignore-certificate-errors");
