Hi folks: (1) I'm only used Wireshark and Ethereal to inspect network traffic, and I've only used these on several occasion. Would someone suggest FreeBSD alternatives (console or xserver based? (2) I'm testing my connection to a remote server. The connection is supposed to be encrypted. What's the easiest way to verify that the data is in fact being encrypted? I don't care to validate the encryption itself; I trust that it is working properly, if it's working at all. I just want to know what, if anything, I can look for in the traffic that will indicate encryption (e.g., is the initiation of key-exchanges easy to locate?).
