VPN Traffic Detection

Hello,

anyone has ever tested a way to detect VPN Traffic? Could BRO detect the connection initiation? After reading the RFC about ISAKMP I have found some characteristics about this protocol that could help detect it but I don’t want to reinvent the wheel and there are other protocols used in VPN tunneling. Ideas anyone??

If it's using IPSEC, then it should be easy to detect due to use of
well-known ports. That said, Bro doesn't have any IPSEC analyzers
(if you're interested in contributing some, please let us know!).
