Click “Start” to inspect decrypted traffic from PolarProxy in real-time.Click “OK” in the Manage Interface window.Name the pipe and press ENTER to save it.There’s a little known feature in Wireshark that allows a PCAP stream to be read from a TCP socket, which is exactly what PCAP-over-IP is! To connect to a PolarProxy PCAP-over-IP service on the local PC, do as follows: I have previously demonstrated how this decrypted stream can be read by NetworkMiner, but it was not until recently that I learned that the same thing can be done with Wireshark as well. If you start PolarProxy with “-pcapoverip 57012” then a PCAP-over-IP listener will be set up on TCP port 57012.

PolarProxy comes with a feature called PCAP-over-IP, which provides a real-time PCAP stream with decrypted packets to connecting clients.

Users who wish to inspect the decrypted TLS traffic in Wireshark typically open this file from disk, but that doesn’t allow for a real-time view of the traffic. PolarProxy is a TLS proxy that decrypts and re-encrypts TLS traffic, while also saving the decrypted traffic in a PCAP file. This blog post explains how you can configure Wireshark to read decrypted TLS packets directly from PolarProxy over a TCP socket. Did you know that it is possible to stream captured packets from a remote device or application to Wireshark in real-time using PCAP-over-IP?
