Wireshark not decrypting SSL: “Can't load private key from $directory: can't import pem data: The requested...
I am trying to decrypt my web browser's HTTPS traffic using wireshark. I have set the SSLKEYLOGFILE variable to a file called premaster.txt with the following command export SSLKEYLOGFILE=/home/username/premaster.txt. The file appears to be created and contain the relevant information. However, wireshark, upon startup, gives me the above error Can't load private key from /home/username/premaster.txt: can't import pem data: The requested data were not available and I am unable to decrypt SSL traffic. What could be the cause?
