Re: Do you have port 443 in $HTTP_PORTS and ttp_inspect_server?

I’ve seen people do it, with mixed results.  Totally depends on the network, I would suppose.  You can test it and 
provide feedback.  I know, easy for me to say right?

Hello.
 
Right now on my Snorts I do not have the TCP port 443 in the HTTP_PORTS portvar or in the http_inspect_server port 
lists.  But do you think I should? Sometimes I have the malwares use 443 but not encrypted at all and it would be 
nice to be able to use http_inspect buffers and have the PAF.
 
I also have 'noinspect_encrypted' on my SSL preprocessor configurations so I am thinking that if I put 443 in for 
http_inspect it won't be a big deal because I won't do inspection after success SSL handshake is detected right???
 
I am curious what other people do and there reasoning for this.
 
Have you ever thought about this?  I dont' see the port 443 in the default config that comes with snort so I am 
worried about doing it.  How will it impact performance?
 
Thanks && Cheers!
