I have a situation where I need to be able to capture and decode SSL traffic between a server and a user.  After doing some searching via google, I think I understand that I need to get the .der and .pem files and run openssl to get the private key, plug that into wireshark in order to be able to decode the ssl traffic.  If I am wrong, please correct me.

 

In the situations where I wont have access or be able to get the .der and .pem files, is there a way that I can decode SSL traffic when I am the endpoint (client) of a ssl communication with a server ?

 

Ron
