Yeah I'm not sure I understand your point. I understand that web surfing generates a ton of connections and I don't think that you can pick a packet out of the pile and say that one is the bad one. I've made that fairly clear. I don't even think we disagree. So I'm confused about what you're trying to get at?
- acqq 12y agoIn my opinion the arguments you give, specifically "I'm not advocating Deep Packet Inspection here" and "one HTTPS packet? You won't know. But when you add context you can start to understand what traffic is legit" aren't based on your actual knowledge but just a plain guess. Therefore I give you a specific example of just one page. Moreover, observing "the packet" independent of the connection of course doesn't have sense. But it's you who talk about the single packets, I've given you an example of 30 connections, where each has hundreds of packets. Even observing just the connections as the connections, you can't know which ones are potentially malign unless you analyze their content.
