Hi,
it is possible to decrypt the session if you retrieve somehow from client the master secret and some addtional information.
There is not whole mechanism for it in the Wireshark now but there is function ssl_set_master_secret(). If you pass all necessary information to this function it can decrypt the session even from the middle.
Regards,
Tomas

Předmět: [Wireshark-users] SSL Decryption
Can someone help me understand why you must have the server's private
key in order to be able to decrypt the session between the client and
the server? It seems to me that if the server and client can conduct
the session without the client ever knowing the server's private key,
then a capture of the session on the client's side ought to be able
to decrypt the session using just what is in the SSL handshake
exchange. What don't I understand about the process that precludes
this behavior?
Thanks,
Derek
