Advanced Network Visibility for Encrypted DNS & Traffic
A cybersecurity student is struggling to view actual domain names of certain websites in router logs due to modern encryption (DoH, DoT, ECH), instead seeing generic Google links. This highlights a clear problem for anyone needing deep network visibility beyond traditional logging – be it students, network admins, or even parents for home networks. A SaaS product could provide an advanced network monitoring solution specifically designed to address these encryption challenges. Features could include: simplified deployment of MITM proxies (with ethical guidelines), analysis of encrypted traffic metadata (e.g., SNI if not ECH-protected) to infer domain names, detection and reporting of DoH/DoT usage, and enhanced logging/alerting capabilities. This targets a niche audience (cybersecurity enthusiasts, small IT teams, concerned home users) who need to 'see' what's happening on their network despite increasing encryption.
