I want to observe the HTTPs protocol. How can I use a Wireshark filter to do that?

As 3molo says. If you're intercepting the traffic, then port 443 is the filter you need. If you have the site's private key, you can also decrypt that SSL . (needs an SSL-enabled version/build of Wireshark.)

See http://wiki.wireshark.org/SSL

There is a difference between filtering and monitoring. WireShark is a monitoring tool. Filtering would have to be done with a firewall or similar. – txwikinger Apr 26 '11 at 15:13

"port 443" in capture filters. See http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureFilters


It will be encrypted data though.

This can help

You might want to take a look at that too

Having a higher accept rate might help getting answers as well :)

Man I find these link myself too before asking this question. – Amirreza Apr 26 '11 at 14:50
IF you don't understand the documentation, perhaps you can see if there are any videos on youtube instead. – 3molo Apr 26 '11 at 14:52
Answers like these are unhelpful. The least you could do would be to include some information from the links you provided. – Cheekaleak Apr 26 '11 at 15:56
@Cheekaleak, point well taken. I'll do a better job next time. – Alex Apr 26 '11 at 16:52
next time, please don't add references by writing "See this, and see that" add some context for the link, for example you could have written: "Wireshark filters can help" (linked to the page,etc). – cbrulak Apr 27 '11 at 15:18
