hi,
Google Talk is based on Jabber protocol that is supported by Ethereal.
In the web interface it's HTTP post that is used (so dissected by HTTP
dissector) but with other client TLS is needed so all is encrypted and
it's impossible to see data in clear text
the only possibility to see it in clear text is that google give us
the private key used .... (and they never do because TLS become
unuseful ;) )
so if your need was precisely on Google adaptation of jabber the
answer is no, else you could see jabber without encryption (but google
refuse this kind of authentification due to security)
PS : My answer is based on my personal test with Gaim and without
officiel client so it could be different .....
I wish my response satisfy you ;)

Hi,
I'm new to Ethereal and I'm new to packet sniffer :)
I tried to sniff google talk packets using ethereal. Ethereal decodes the capture as Jabber XML Messaging which is corrected. However, the XML that is attached with the packet is unreadable. Does google talk encrypted the message? Has anyone tried this in the community? Please shed some lights on this issue if you have an idea!
Thank you,
Jerry
