1. A method for monitoring a media device, the method comprising:

  • extracting, by executing an instruction via a processor, first network packet parameters from a first network packet received at a media device when retrieving a first encrypted web page;

    storing, at the media device, the first network packet parameters in association with a uniform resource locator for the first encrypted web page, the uniform resource locator received from an extension in a web browser at the media device;

    extracting, by executing an instruction via the processor, second network packet parameters from a second network packet received at the media device from an unknown encrypted web page;

    when the extension is inoperative, comparing, by executing an instruction via the processor, the second network packet parameters to the first network packet parameters; and

    identifying, by executing an instruction via the processor, the unknown encrypted web page as the first encrypted web page when the comparison of the second network packet parameters to the first network packet parameters has a similarity above a threshold.
