Can I, with WireShark, see what data is being sent via HTTPS before it has been encripted? asked 18 Apr '12, 09:49  IraH |
2 Answers:
You can, in some cases, if you have enough information, decrypt the data after it has been encrypted and transmitted; see the Wireshark Wiki page about SSL. There's no place for Wireshark to connect to your Web browser to see the data before it's encrypted. answered 18 Apr '12, 11:16  Guy Harris ♦♦ |
That (seeing the data from a browser hook before it is encrypted (outbound) and after it is decrypted (inbound)) can be done with a variety of browser accessories, such as TamperData and Firebug. You can also insert a man-in-the-middle HTTPS proxy such as Charles Proxy. But for more information on any of those options, go to their respective discussion sites. answered 19 Apr '12, 11:38  inetdog |
