Using Wireshark to verify encryption

Ponziani@sh.itjust.works to linux4noobs@programming.dev · 3 months ago

I am trying to use wireshark to verify that my outgoing rsync is encrypted. I can easily see that the SSH protocol packets are reported as “Encrypted packet.” The other packets being exchanged are TCP packets, I am not sure how to actually verify if these are encrypted, and if not, if they contain anything sensitive.

Should TCP be encrypted? Can they leak anything when facilitating the ssh connection? How can I tell?
