SSH Decryption

L2 Linker

Hi. If my FW is doing SSH decryption and sending all decrypted traffic out of a mirror port where my Kali machine is, what tools would be able to "read" the username/password from the decrypted SSH traffic?

 

I was looking for something similar to what "dsniff" does for telnet;

 

TELNET : 10.1.1.1:23 -> USER: myuser PASS: mypassword

 

So basically, something similar to the above but for SSH. I was thinking this would be easy, as the traffic is already decrypted but I have spent a while Googling this with no joy.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You could just run Wireshark on your Kali machine and filter for SSH traffic. You should be able to see the decrypted information.

Thanks, I already know this. I was hoping for a more automated tool to extract username/passwords without manually going through packets in Wireshark.....

Hello,

Not sure about Kali, however have you looked into SecurityOnion? Its a Ubuntu build that does packet capture and IDS. You might be able to setup a rule that looks for this and alerts. However not entirely sure. They have a KB and forum you can ask about this on.

 

Regards,

Interesting. I won't spend time setting this up and testing, unless I know whether it would work or not. I may check the KB and forums though, as you suggested.
