What is Gizmo: A Lightweight Open Source Web Proxy about?

Gizmo is a free new open source web proxy designed to be lightweight, speedy, and responsive. When someone is performing a web pentest, they want a tool that lets them edit and search through requests quickly. The tool should let them search through and edit requests without slowing down web traffic or taking up the user's attention with heavyweight user interfaces. Gizmo was created with this in mind. The user interface is focused on the keyboard so that once the initial (very small) learning curve is over, the user can operate gizmo without their hands leaving the keyboard. A great deal of effort was also spent ensuring that gizmo proxies traffic snappily enough that a user's web browsing experience isn't hampered. The presentation will be focused on a presentation of the featureset of gizmo, and a demonstration of how snappy and responsive web proxies can be.
