encrypted traffic

[Marcio Guerreiro <marcio.guerreiro () hotmail co uk>]

Hi all

 

I have a question… I hope you guys can suggest me something to read about it…

 

Considering that a great number of websites use SSL and the Snort documentation suggests that we should not enable 
encrypted traffic verification.. what it is going to happen ?

 

 

1 - Should Snort be deployed with powerful hardware capable to deal with the expensive computational demand generated 
by encrypted traffic ?

 

2 - Should I remove  noinspect_encrypted from my snort.conf and enable the encrypted verification ?

 

3 - if I enable that, will Snort verify the whole packet contents ? (data payload) 

 

 

 

Thank you

Marcio
