MySQL Network Protocol: A walkthrough


This walkthrough gives you an idea about how the network protocol that MySQL uses functions.

  • Authentication: mysql_native_password, caching_sha2_password and more
  • Secure connections with TLS
  • Queries, Resultsets and Prepared statements
  • Compression with zlib and zstd
  • Connection attributes
  • Replication

This is based on work I have done on the MySQL protocol dissector in Wireshark
