Title: Difficulties decrypting SSL

Hi Michael,

This usually means that tshark is not seeing the whole SSL Handshake. Either because it started looking at the session in middle of communication or the SSL session was cached for some reason.

All,

 

I have dug deeper and found a lot of "NO SESSION KEY" errors in the SSL log (see below).  Can anyone suggest how to resolve these???

 

Thx again!

Michael

Subject: [Wireshark-users] Difficulties decrypting SSL

Hello. I have captured traffic, via the Opnet Capture Agent, on a workstation. The packets consists mostly of SSL traffic that is "tunnelled" through an HTTP Proxy server. That is, the workstation issues HTTP "CONNECT" requests to create SSL tunnels thru the Proxy Server.  There are multiple URLs, and thus multiple RSA Keys involved.

I would like to decrypt this traffic, so that I can analyze the various HTTP calls made within the SSL tunnels.  I have the .PEM files necessary to do this, but I'm not successful yet.  After entering the RSA Keys and SSL log info into the Edit/Preferences box and hitting Apply, it seems that some of the traffic is decrypted.  I now see "200 OK" messages that are returned to the workstation, but not the HTTP requests that generated those responses.  The HTTP requests are still encrypted. When I look at the request packets, I see the HTTP Connect call, and then the SSL handshake, but the rest of the conversation is still encrypted.

Below is what I entered into the "RSA Keys list:" box (with the IP's sanitized).  Originally I had only the first set.  Then, when I saw decrypted packets in only 1 direction, I added the other set (to no avail). 

Below that, I've also included the first several lines of the SSL debug file (not the whole file, which is huge - 4.5MB), in case that is useful.

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
