Remote host connection closed during handshake

Dheeraj | Last updated: Jul 11, 2018 07:12AM UTC

Hi, I'm getting the alert "Remote host connection closed during handshake" while intercepting the Android and IOS applications. I have tried with different certificates and different SSL options but still the error. However I was able to capture the same traffic using OWASP ZAP. Kindly please help me in resolving the issue.

Hi Dheeraj, Thanks for your message. And apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Can you include a screenshot of the full message? That message can apply either to the client or the server, but seeing the full message should clarify which. Also, you could try sending a message to the server using Repeater. If it's a client -> Burp problem, two things to try: Android: Follow this tutorial - https://blog.ropnop.com/configuring-burp-suite-with-android-nougat/ iOS: Make sure to set full trust - https://support.portswigger.net/customer/portal/articles/1841109-installing-burp-s-ca-certificate-in-an-ios-device If it's a Burp -> Server problem, do you need a client certificate? If so, this must be configured within Burp. If not, try adjusting some options in Project options > SSL. For example "Use custom protocols and ciphers" and try a variety of protocol versions. Also "Disable SSL session resume" can fix some issues. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
