Everything is encrypted
André Luyer

More and more traffic is encrypted using TLS: “https is the new tcp”. What if you need to troubleshoot but can’t use decryption? Either because it is hard to do or not allowed.
But based on traffic patterns, or meta data, it is still possible to draw conclusions. Like who is slow, how many applications turns (request/response pairs), size of the data, is the communication efficient (overhead ratio), etc..
This session we cover the methods of analyzing using Wireshark. First part for TLS up to version 1.2. The second part using version TLS 1.3, which is much harder to do, but not impossible.
