Rather than try and reverse the POST requests by looking at packet captures,
I would simply decompile the Java file using jad or JD-Core. The code

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT and CEPT certs require a full practical examination in order to become certified.
