- nicce 2y agoYou can since you can still inspect the traffic. However, it is like finding needle in a haystack since there is quite much of traffic.
- pantulis 2y agoAlso traffic could be encrypted
- nicce 2y agoYes, it is TLS encrypted, but you can decrypt that. As far as I know, there isn't other encryption.
- fsflover 2y agoI never saw anybody able to decrypt Windows telemetry traffic.
- akimbostrawman 2y agoEven then you would need do that everytime because it could change at anytime or after updates. There is also nothing stopping them from detecting a MITM and acting differently.
- pantulis 2y agoHow would you go about decrypting that traffic? I guess some kind of proxy, but I would assume that Windows would use certificate pinning so as to avoid MITM attacks. Another option?
