I don't think that the honeywall can do it, as it doesn't have an ip.  It's 
completely transparent to the honeypot and also to the internet.

You could put something running cain into your honeynet and do arp spoofing to 
redirect the traffic to yourself.  Cain does ssl proxying pretty well and is 
free.

Subject: [Honeywall] SSL connections

Hi everybody,

I'm new to this list, and maybe I'm asking this question at the wrong 
place... but even if so, maybe you can direct me into the right direction?

My problem is that some malware I'm monitoring is using SSL connections 
to communicate with its CC, and I'd like to look into the decrypted SSL 
traffic. Fortunately the malware does nto check the server certificate, 
so it would work to put a transparent SSL proxy in between. I was hoping 
the honeywall would implement something like this, as it already 
provides transparent HTTP proxies. All what would be needed is 
simulating an SSL server to the malware, decrpyting everything and log 
it, and put it back into a new SSL connecttion to the real CC. Of course 
recognizing SSL traffic is another thing, but as first approach anything 
directed to a port 443 would suffice.  But as far as I can say, there is 
no such feature there... As SSL protocols between malware and CC become 
more popular, I'm pretty sure such a feature would be quite useful for 
any kind of honeynet project as well, just I don't seem to be able to 
find anything useful using google. There are commercial products like 
the one from Netronome (google for "transparent ssl proxy"), but I 
didn't find anything in the opensource area.

Actually the malware I'm working with is fortunately using SSL proxies 
if configured in IE, so in this particular case such an SSL proxy need 
not even be transparent (though I'd prefer a tranparent solution as it 
is much easier). So I thought Squid might be an alternative. But it 
seems Squid can't translate a request to its SSL proxy into a normal SSL 
request and decrypt in between... so this approach doesn't seem to work 
neither. There are some IE plugins (Komodia), but this most probably 
wouldn't work, as teh malware doesn't work from within IE, so a real 
proxy solution would be preferable.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance... Andy
