Nov 25, 2009Hi There..
Jumping in on this thread... as the above is exactly what I want to acheive. I want to be able to inspect the decrypted SSL traffic with a traditional PASSIVE IDS, prior to it bein rencrypted to the back end server.
As far as I understnd Cloning and Interface Mirroring... Interface Mirroring simply sends all Server and Client traffic which hits a certain port out of another port, fine for passive IDS, but no good as the traffic is still encrypted. Then there's cloning, which sends either client or server side to an IP address, which again is no good as the traffic is still encrypted, and the IDS doesn't have an IP address anyway.
So can this be done? Effectivly send the traffic to IDS, decrypted, prior to any traffic management decission having taken place?
Thanks
Phil
