Breach Security has a product called BreachView SSL that passively decrypts SSL 
traffic for an IDS without terminating the SSL session.  The product comes as 
either a software plug-in or an appliance.

Since it is going through SSL (and no IDS can look into SSL), you have two
options:

Plan A: Deny SSL traffic, but that usually this is not possible, 

Plan B: Let your users out through a proxy server, which will identify
non-browser traffic using http/s header inspection. Configure your firewall
to permit HTTP/S out only from your proxy and not your clients.

Subject: Bittorrent - utorrent

Hello Everyone,

I am in a bit of trouble,

On a network where i am configuring IDS - using ASA5510 + SSM module, we try
to deny access to Bittorrent downloads - it consumes quite a bit of bandwith
and is not allowed by the company's policy.
We try to filter bittorrent which succedes - but the utorrent changes
protocol and goes by the SSL port 443 and thereby circumvent the IDS, since
its not possible to see the encrypted traffic. 

Does anyone out there have a good idea of how i am to solve the issue?


Best Regards
