Wireshark has an option allowing the user to directly load (pre-)master secrets for decryption. This is useful both because it allows the user to review decrypted traffic captures without having the server's private key available, and also when the cipher suite choice would make it impossible to decrypt the traffic even with the key (i.e., with DH) . Several programs can already generate output in the format wireshark requires, such as firefox and chrome.
This patch adds a function
load_secrets_from_file
that accepts files in this format. The format is not well documented (the official wireshark docs refer to this stack exchange comment). The format is best described by a comment in the wireshark source here.If you are interested in merging this, I can add some tests.
