Help Analyzing TCP Dump from ASA

CiscoBrownBelt

 So when attempting to access a site or web page never loads. The site address is Pingable. Sometimes I may get that "Site not secure error do I wish to proceed" I click yes but then nothing just a blank page.

I have attached the Wireshark screenshot (most of TCP entries are shown - could not get it all to fit in screenshot I had to take because I had to block out the IPs) of the Ingress interface only - egress had no data captured. Let me know if you need to see data from each entry.

The .98 is my machine and the .20 it the website. Any help deciphering the output is appreciated!

Difficult to say with just one side of the data. But from the picture, it looks like the TLS handshake is completed and encrypted data is being sent across (packet#47 onwards). Since this is encrypted, Wireshark does not know any other details inside the TLS header. 

 

Have you tried accessing the website from another location to see if get the page loaded? Also, how about capturing the Wireshark data from the client machine to match with what you get from the ASA?

No not yet, I plan on trying.

I made another post from a client machine. I will get post link for you.

did you see logs on ips during this connection ?

No nothing that stands out on logs. Which IPS are you referring to, the ASA does not have a module or services.

How did you setup your capture on the egress interface? You would need to use the translated IP as the source IP.  If you did use the translated source IP then there is an issue on the ASA.  Are you redirecting traffic to the FirePOWËR module in the ASA?

 

I am assuming that you are able to access the website when traffic does not go through the ASA?  i.e. if you tether your PC though your mobile phone (disconnect the mobile from the wireless network).

You would need to use the translated IP as the source IP.  If you did use the translated source IP then there is an issue on the ASA.  Are you redirecting traffic to the FirePOWËR module in the ASA? I used the ip of the website as the destination (public) and the source IP of user machine as source which is also public. There is no FirePower module in the ASA. There is a Firepower on a VM or something - I am not too familiar with the whole setup. How can I tell?

I believe so but I am not sure. It is a special site that requires to be accessed via internal network. I can try and do some tests and get back to you.
