If this variable is set, both browsers are configured to save a copy of the client’s secrets to the indicated file location. In Firefox and Chrome, this can be accomplished by setting an environment variable called SSLKEYLOGFILE. Since we’re acting as an eavesdropper on the network (the exact thing that TLS is designed to prevent), we need to have one of the trusted parties share their secrets with us.

Since TLS is designed to protect the confidentiality of the client and the server during transmissions, it’s logical that it’s designed so that either of them can decrypt the traffic but no one else can. The other thing that you’ll need to do before decrypting TLS-encrypted traffic is to configure your Web browser to export client-side TLS keys. The first step in using it for TLS/SSL encryption is downloading it from here and installing it.

With a little research I found that the SSL libraries for wireshark have been updated in the 3.5.0_RC available for various platforms hereĪ new installation with sshdump selected as an option is needed.įrom there with a little google-foo and trial and error I was able to capture live data from any or all interfaces.Wireshark is a commonly-known and freely-available tool for network analysis. The standard download of wireshark is 3.4.6 does not have the proper SSL Kex to connect with IPFire as described on the blog here

I have used wireshark for various reasons over the years and I jus thought I would share how I was able to get it working for me. I wanted to see real-time traffic on my interfaces and I am a new user here.
