Rob,

        :

I think we've taken this topic as far as we can on this list.  There is
no question that the technology works -- we've had it in beta in real
world networks. The most important question is, "How will the market
value this technology?"  Only real-world implementations and time will
tell.  Let's just let the market decide the value of IPS decryption,
shall we?

        I love to keep things like this on lists like this.  In public.
I don't mind a little egg on my face when I'm proven wrong, that's
how I learn and I don't learn unless someone corrects me.  So let's
go for it.  This should be easy for you.

        The files are ready.

        You can let me know what the URL was that was requested.  You
can readily extract the server name from the cert.  The rest will
come from the decrypted session.

        Pull the files from here...

        Server's private key:
                https://www.wittsend.com/ssl-challenge/server.key.bin

                (There is no password on the key)

        Server's certificate:
                https://www.wittsend.com/ssl-challenge/server.crt.bin

        Dump of the session (tcpdump):
                https://www.wittsend.com/ssl-challenge/cl.tcpdump.bin

        I made them all .bin to avoid any Mime nonsense.

        You now have everything you claim to need.  Send me back the
URL and the html text of the page.  I want to see this.  I'll be
truely impressed if you can do what you claim to do.

Thanks, Mike (ISS), Marty (Sourcefire) and Jason (Sourcefire) for your
questions and comments.  Let's have this chat again six months from now.
;-)

Over and out.
