How to decrypt data?
I’m not even a beginner but have downloaded Wireshark on my mac to monitor my home WiFi network.
I’m trying to decrypt the data but can’t manage to find the sore-master key. I’ve tried terminal and nano and used the help below but I haven’t had success. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Open Launchpad, click Other, and launch a terminal to run this command in Mac OSX:
nano ~/.bash_profile
The following steps are the same for both operating systems.
At the end of the file, add this line:
Bash Command
export SSLKEYLOGFILE=~/.ssl-key.log
Press Ctrl+X, Y to save your changes.
Bash Profile
Close the terminal window and open another to set the variable, then type the following to confirm it’s been set successfully:
echo $SSLKEYLOGFILE
After you execute the command, you should see output similar to the image above. /Users/comparitech/.ssl-key.log
is the full path to my SSL pre-master key log. Note: You’ll want to make a note of yours, which will be different, to enter in Wireshark.
Now that the variable has been set, you can move on to the next set of steps.
