Summary

Hetty is an open-source MITM (man-in-the-middle) HTTP proxy built for security research and bug bounty hunting. Created by Dutch engineer David Stotijn.

Key features:

Full HTTP/HTTPS traffic interception with auto-storage and advanced search
Real-time request/response modification and replay
Built-in Sender module for manual request editing
Project-based database with Scope management for clean workflows
Built-in web management UI

Highlights:

Single Go binary under 30MB — cross-platform (Win/Mac/Linux)
No Java, no registration, no phone-home — fully local
MIT licensed, completely free
Essentially a free alternative to Burp Suite Pro
Core proxy capabilities are stable, though updates are infrequent
