SSL Traffic Capture Between Unrooted Android Devices via Hotspot

[meetinnet]

I'm seeking a streamlined method to capture SSL traffic between two unrooted Android devices where one serves as a hotspot and the other connects to it. Without the aid of a PC and lacking root access, how can Pcapdroid be configured to intercept and decrypt SSL traffic for analysis?

Key Points:

Two unrooted Android phones. One phone acts as a mobile hotspot. The second phone connects to this hotspot. Objective: Capture and analyze SSL/TLS encrypted traffic. Is it achievable to use Pcapdroid for SSL decryption and packet capture under these conditions? Any pointers or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks buddy

Hello, unfortunately this is not possible without root, as Android does not provide a way to route the hotspot traffic for the VPN-based capture to work
