can someone tell me how to decrypt the messages I get at the socket from org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender?
I tried the Chainsaw-sources but I didn’t find anything there :/
Or where does the message in log4j get encrypted?
Thanks

The messages are not encrypted. They are LoggingEvent objects that have been serialized using a Java ObjectOutputStream : see org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender. One way to read them is to use Chainsaw, but you could always deserilize them yourself by wrapping the remote socket string in a Java ObjectInputStream, and replicating what Chainsaw does to read the events.
