Plug the machine running tcpdump into a network on which SSL traffic is being sent, in a fashion that allows it to see that traffic (bearing in mind, for example, that capturing third-party traffic on a switched network may be difficult or impossible), and run tcpdump, with the -w flag, so that it saves the traffic to a file, and either with no filter or with a filter that matches the SSL traffic. If you mean "is there a way to run tcpdump so that it can *dissect* SSL traffic", rather than just being able to put undissected raw packet contents, including SSL packets, into a file to be read by another program, the answer is "no" - tcpdump doesn't currently include the ability to decrypt SSL traffic. (I.e., there's more to being able to analyze traffic than just being able to capture it....) _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
