What is a .SAZ file?
SAZ is a saved HTTP session captured by the Fiddler web-debugging tool.
- Did you know
- A SAZ archive bundles up a recorded set of web requests for analysis.
- SAZ stands for Session Archive Zip, the native capture format of Eric Lawrence’s Fiddler proxy.
- A SAZ may be left open or locked with weak ZIP encryption or stronger 256-bit AES protection.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read more security and forensics files: OpenPGP messages/keys/signatures (.pgp/.gpg/.sig - armor type, packet walk, key algorithm and user ID, secret-key warning), YARA rules, Snort/Suricata IDS rules, STIX/OpenIOC threat intel, Fiddler captures (.saz), 1Password exports (.1pux), Apple Keychain, KeePass 1.x (.kdb), Microsoft keys (.pvk) and AFF/AFF4 forensic images.
- Depth of analysis
- .SAZ is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .SAZ file
- Drag a .SAZ file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
