| Jun 25, 2016 at 13:22 | comment | added | Steffen Ullrich | To find out the cipher used you need to check the TLS details of the ServerHello message. Looking at TCP level only will not help. | |
| Jun 25, 2016 at 12:42 | comment | added | Alexander Craggs | @SteffenUllrich Read both that article and most of the ones attached to that. Still not quite understanding how to get access to the key used via Wireshark. I can find the protocol is indeed TCP, but nothing else (I'm looking at the more indepth view of each packet of Wireshark, picture. | |
| Jun 25, 2016 at 11:24 | comment | added | Alexander Craggs | Aha, thank you for the reference, I'll look over that now @SteffenUllrich | |
| Jun 25, 2016 at 11:00 | comment | added | Steffen Ullrich | In this case I would recommend to first study How does SSL/TLS work? because it contains the information you need to understand how encryption works and what is needed for decryption, the role of certificates and ciphers etc. | |
| Jun 25, 2016 at 10:57 | comment | added | Alexander Craggs | I'm afraid I'm rather new to this and don't entirely know how to work out what the type is. Could you shed some light on how to find out? I didn't generate the private key myself. @SteffenUllrich | |
| Jun 25, 2016 at 10:54 | comment | added | Steffen Ullrich | Which cipher was used? If it is an ECDHE or DHE cipher then the private key of the certificate is not sufficient to decrypt the traffic because of forward secrecy. | |
