Given many private keys, identify which one corresponds to a TLS connection captured in a PCAP file.

Vulnerability

The TLS certificate in the handshake reveals the public key (modulus). By comparing the public key’s modulus with all available private keys, the correct one can be identified.

Solution

Step 1: Extract the Certificate from PCAP

Analyze the PCAP file:

None

In the TLSv1.2 handshake, the server sends its X.509 certificate containing the RSA public key. In RSA, the public and private keys share the same modulus (N).

Step 3: Match the Modulus Against Available Keys
