Re: Log HTTP(S) URLs

Hi Patrik,

that makes sense. The same with dsniff. I was able to sniff the https URLs only by dnsspoofing and having the webmitm 
running. 
Well, I had hoped that snort would provide another way to sniff the URLs. 

Anyway, thanks.

Regards,
Manuel

Huh?

I believe you've missed the very point of HTTPS, which is that it is
encrypted 
by definition. The Snort FAQ indeed states that you can use Snort to log
HTTP 
requests, but you will never be able to do the same for HTTPS as all its 
traffic is encrypted (well, if you knew the key for the session in
question 
you could theoretically decrypt it, but that's something else).

Regards,
Patrik

Hi there,

I am using Snort 2.6.1.3 on FreeBSD 6.2. The plan is to use snort only
for
logging HTTP(S) URLs requested from the internal network.

I already read in the faq that it is possible, but I should use the
dsniff
package for that kind of work. Well, I tried it, but the urlsnarf tool
only
gets http urls.

So, I am asking for help how the rule(s) must look like and hope that
you
can help me.

Many thanks in advance,

Manuel
