Systems and methods for identification of network attacks are disclosed. An example system includes an adaptor module to route a received encrypted packet to a decryption module, receive a decrypted packet corresponding to the encrypted packet from the decryption module, and transmit the decrypted packet and the encrypted packet to a sensor module. The decryption module is to receive an encrypted packet, decrypt the encrypted packet to form the decrypted packet, and transmit the decrypted packet to the adaptor module. The sensor module is to inspect the decrypted packet and the encrypted packet received from the adaptor module to determine when an attack is detected.
