How can I decode SQL Server traffic with wireshark?

Question

I can capture the packets using wireshark, but I can\'t decode the stream into anything intelligible. This bug suggests that maybe this isn\'t possible in SQL Server 2005 o

Answer 1

The question that you are refering to is how to prove that the traffic is encrypted.

So they were using wireshark to show that you could not read it.

The encryption was weak on earlier versions of SQL server, but I don't think that it is easy to decrypt SQL Server 2005 traffic.
