  • ja3

    JA3 is a standard for creating SSL client fingerprints in an easy to produce and shareable way.

  • Fingerprinting something like this would be trivial, they've probably already done it. Using the ja3 library [1] you can make pretty good deterministic TLS connection fingerprints, and that works fine for traffic that you can't decrypt. IDS/IPS software has used similar methods to identify and block encrypted traffic for some time now.
