Recent versions of +Wireshark can use these log files to decrypt packets. See the [Wireshark wiki](https://wiki.wireshark.org/SSL#Using_the_.28Pre.29-Master-Secret) for more information. + +Key logging is enabled by setting the environment variable `SSLKEYLOGFILE` so +that it points to a writable text file: +{{< highlight bash >}} +SSLKEYLOGFILE="$PWD/.mitmproxy/sslkeylogfile.txt" mitmproxy +{{< / highlight >}} +You can also `export` this environment variable to make it persistent for all applications started from your current shell session. + +You can specify the key file path in Wireshark via `Edit -> Preferences -> +Protocols -> SSL -> (Pre)-Master-Secret log filename`. If your SSLKEYLOGFILE +does not exist yet, just create an empty text file, so you can select it in +Wireshark (or run mitmproxy to create and collect master secrets). + +Note that `SSLKEYLOGFILE` is respected by other programs as well, e.g., Firefox +and Chrome. If this creates any issues, you can use `MITMPROXY_SSLKEYLOGFILE` +instead without affecting other applications. |
