Hi All,

Thanks for your suggestions! But most of these products suggested need
the private key to be supplied for decrypting the SSL traffic. The HTTP
Analyzer which I initially tried, does not need the private key to be
supplied and does a good job of decrytping SSL traffic. Can anyone
explain to me how this works? But the HTTP analyzer only sniffs the
traffic in the current user session. This behavior is different from
that of ethereal when I set it in promiscuous mode. Here, I can see
traffic from other machines on the same ether segment. I may be wrong
here, but I don't see this in either ClearWatch,ssldump or ngrep. 

Thanks,
Kashmira.

Hi Kashmira:

ClearWatch is a free tool from Covelight that will work great as an
HTTPS sniffer.  You will need to provide the server's private key to
decrypt SSL traffic.

You can find it here:
