Revision as of 18:14, 25 November 2009 by imported>Cov
Socat is a commandline network tool akin to netcat. It supports SSL, IPv6 and several more protocols. It can come in handy when attempting to sniff traffic that has to speak SSL because setting up a cleartext to SSL proxy is relatively straightforward.
Cleartext to SSL Tunnel for DyKnow
To create a plaintext to SSL proxy that DyKnow can connect to, use the following command.
socat tcp4-listen:1337,fork openssl:dyknow.lt.vt.edu:443,cafile=ThawtePremiumServerCA.pem
