Lab 4.3: Wireshark HTTP/HTTPS Analysis

LAB - Eye House Tools

Analyze web traffic using Wireshark. Understand the visibility differences between HTTP and HTTPS, extract files, and identify web-based attacks.

HTTP (Port 80)

Plaintext - Full visibility into requests, responses, headers, body content

HTTPS (Port 443)

Encrypted - TLS handshake visible, content encrypted, use JA3 fingerprinting

Lab Objectives

  • Analyze HTTP requests and responses
  • Extract files from HTTP traffic (Export Objects)
  • Identify TLS handshake patterns in HTTPS
  • Understand visibility limitations with encryption
  • Detect web-based attack indicators (SQLi, XSS)
