Looking for failed SSL handshakes

  • retag add tags

I have ran IISCrypto on a Windows 10 clients to test disabling TLS1.0, 1.1 and SSLv3.

Since I have done so, the system logs are flooded with the same error message:

A fatal error occurred while creating a TLS client credential. The internal error state is 10013.

After a bit of googling, I found that it is usually generated because some applications still need SSLv3 or that some Net Framework version running on the client need to have TLS1.2 enabled.

I would like to find out what is causing this issue. I have installed Wireshark and used a simple SSL filter, but I am not sure where to look. Can someone wouldplease help me?

When implementations fail during the TLS handshake, they typically do either:

  • Forcefully close the TCP connection. This can be found with the display filter tcp.flags.reset==1
  • Send an unencrypted Alert message. This can be found with the display filter tls.alert_message.level

Combining the two:

tcp.flags.reset==1 or tls.alert_message.level

Note that normal TLS sessions may also use the TCP RST (reset) flag to tear down a connection to close down a successful session. If you see Application Data packets in the same TCP stream, then this would indicate that.

If you are using Wireshark 2.6 or older, note that the filter is named ssl.alert_message.level instead.
