Creating Custom App-IDs - Proxmox
If you've ever administered a firewall with advanced inspection features, you're probably all too familiar with specific applications being decoded as basic ones like SSL or Web browsing. This highlights the complex relationship we as administrators have with nearly all internet-traffic being encrypted. While we're happy we've adopted encryption, it also thwarts some of our inspection capabilities.
Thankfully, we're an enterprise, and we've gone ahead and setup SSL decryption. Now 80% of our traffic is decoded properly and inspected with appropriate security filters. What about the other 20%?
The world is less than perfect, which means that companies like Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco, and others can't create app-decoders for every application out there. Some are sparingly used, custom, or just don't have anything unique to identify them with. Fear not though, for we have the power. The power to create custom App-IDs.
