Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Not seeing SSL protocol packets
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 22:53:15 +0000 (UTC)
Hello Mr. Sarkar,

Thank you very much for replying.  This is not the case.  The server is running on one PC and the client is running on another embedded device running Windows Embedded XP.

Interesting enough, Microsoft Network Monitor 3.2 can see the packets with a "Protocol Name" of SSL.  This network analyzer also has a "Frame Details" window showing this:

  Frame: Number = 18, Captured Frame Length = 124, MediaType = ETHERNET
+ Ethernet: Etype = Internet IP (IPv4),DestinationAddress:[00-1B-FC-37-5B-3F],
   SourceAddress:[00-00-5E-00-01-17]
+ Ipv4: Src = "" Dest = 192.168.71.209, Next Protocol = TCP, Packet ID = 230,
   Total IP Length = 110
+ Tcp: Flags=...AP..., SrcPort=1056, DstPort=HTTP Alternate(8080), PayloadLen=70,
   Seq=981260080 - 981260150, Ack=482317727, Win=17520 (scale factor 0x0) = 17520
+ SslOnWsp:   Client Hello.


Regards,
Lee Linkoff

Hi,

If you are running both client and server on the same Windows box, then you
need to have look at this:
