Abstract

The usage of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol is constantly growing.While securing the application layer can be seen mostly positive, techniques likeDeep Packet Inspection (DPI) are rendered useless by this development. In manysituations, it is crucial to examine the unencrypted payload of a network packet,e.g., privacy research, blocking malware or intrusion detection. TLS interceptionproxies can provide the necessary application data while still maintaining encryptedconnections to both the client and the target server. However, currently availablesolutions export the application data in non-standard text formats. As part of thisMaster’s project, a TLS proxy that is capable of exporting cleartext TLS applicationdata in the well-known libpcap format was developed and evaluated. The interceptedconnections are exported while they are still in process. Due to the chosen exportformat, the exported application data can be analyzed by a variety of already existinglibpcap-capable network monitoring tools.
