Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Trying to decode a TLS 1.3 with null cipher

Hi Ahmed,

I have posted a patch at https://code.wireshark.org/review/37034 which
should allow you to see the plaintext. However there is a big open
question about the draft specification. Can you share some more details
on your implementation, in particular which TLS library do you use?

Without more answers, this patch will not be merged.

Kind regards,
Peter
