Request Maker: Easy HTTP Requests & Penetration Testing Tool

Request Maker is a Chrome extension that serves as a tool for penetration testing. This tool captures and manipulates requests sent via HTML forms and XMLHttpRequests, allowing users to tamper with the URL, headers, and POST data of a request. With tab-specific logs and bookmarkable requests, it promises a seamless user experience. Despite certain limitations on header modification and redirect following, Request Maker remains an essential tool for efficient and effective web penetration testing.

Me parece una aplicación muy buena; Tengo una consulta, como hace request maker para evadir el certificado SSL/TLS, como funciona?

Does the job! For those leaving bad ratings because they need more advanced stuff, just get something else like Postam.
