Supposedly, I'm connected to a server that has SSL encryption. What's an easy way to check that my traffic is indeed being encrypted?

Can I run it on the same computer thats connected to the server? Or do I need to use a different one?

Wow I think I'm way over my head.... How do I tell if something is encrypted or not?
You can run it on the same computer...
Just connect to a regular http site while running wireshark stop the capture and then there should be an option to follow a TCP stream and reassemble it...you will see everything in plain text.
Then try it again with SSL site
