How do I capture https packets in Wireshark?

I'm trying to capture the packets sent by SSL enabled websites.

I have installed wireshark, and I can capture packets on my WiFi network using the built in Wifi traffic capture filter, but I cannot seem to get Wireshark to capture the packets sent by https sites. Is there any way to capture https traffic? Thanks. Adam. Https traffic is encrypted. You will not be able to see it in a packet capture. In order to do this you will need to use a packet analyzer capable of decrypting SSL traffic.

How do I view certificate details in Wireshark?

I am getting the error "error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23GETSERVERHELLO:unknown protocol" when I try to connect to a website in Wireshark.

I can see that the error occurs because the SSL handshake fails. I'm running Wireshark 2.4 on a Debian server with TLSv1.2 enabled.

I can view certificate details of both server and client but when it comes to viewing the certificate details of the site that is the issue. The certificate details are stored in the .cer file, which is just the crt file. So when I add it as an attachment to my capture there is a new box that says: 'SSL certificate details' and it has no text in it. How do I view this text?
The SSL session details display fine for any other SSL session. Thanks for any help! According to a related question, it seems that wireshark can only handle .pem files and not .cer files.

I found that the certificate was stored in a file that was not being processed by Wireshark. I added the file to the capture using the Wireshark UI, and then ran "wireshark -s", which imported the certificate into the capture. The SSL session now works.
