.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
\fIssldump\fP is an SSL/TLS network protocol analyzer. It identifies
TCP connections on the chosen network interface and attempts to
interpret them as SSL/TLS traffic. When it identifies SSL/TLS
traffic, it decodes the records and displays them in a textual
form to stdout. If provided with the appropriate keying material,
it will also decrypt the connections and display the application
data traffic.
.LP
ssldump has been tested on FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, and HP/UX. Since
it's based on PCAP, it should work on most platforms. However, unlike
tcpdump, ssldump needs to be able to see both sides of the data
transmission so you may have trouble using it with network taps such
as SunOS nit that don't permit you to see transmitted data.
.B Under SunOS with nit or bpf:
To run
.I tcpdump
you must have read access to
.I /dev/nit
or
.IR /dev/bpf* .
.B Under Solaris with dlpi:
You must have read access to the network pseudo device, e.g.
.IR /dev/le .
.B Under HP-UX with dlpi:
You must be root or it must be installed setuid to root.
.B Under IRIX with snoop:
You must be root or it must be installed setuid to root.
.B Under Linux:
You must be root or it must be installed setuid to root.
.B Under Ultrix and Digital UNIX:
Once the super-user has enabled promiscuous-mode operation using
.IR pfconfig (8),
any user may run
.BR ssldump
.B Under BSD:
You must have read access to
.IR /dev/bpf* .
.SH OPTIONS
2015-01-31 09:15:00 +00:00
.TP
2015-01-31 09:13:33 +00:00
.B \-a
Print bare TCP ACKs (useful for observing Nagle behavior)
.TP
.B \-A
Print all record fields (by default ssldump chooses
the most interesting fields)
.TP
.B \-d
Display the application data traffic. This usually means
decrypting it, but when -d is used ssldump will also decode
2015-01-31 09:15:00 +00:00
application data traffic \fIbefore\fP the SSL session initiates.
2015-01-31 09:13:33 +00:00
This allows you to see HTTPS CONNECT behavior as well as
SMTP STARTTLS. As a side effect, since ssldump can't tell
whether plaintext is traffic before the initiation of an
SSL connection or just a regular TCP connection, this allows
you to use ssldump to sniff any TCP connection.
ssldump will automatically detect ASCII data and display it
directly to the screen. non-ASCII data is displayed as hex
dumps. See also -X.
.TP
.B \-e
Print absolute timestamps instead of relative timestamps
.TP
.B \-H
Print the full SSL packet header.
.TP
.B \-n
Don't try to resolve host names from IP addresses
.TP
.B \-N
Attempt to parse ASN.1 when it appears, such as in
certificates and DNs.
.TP
.B \-p
Use \fIpassword\fP as the SSL keyfile password.
.TP
.B \-P
Don't put the interface into promiscuous mode.
.TP
.B \-q
Don't decode any record fields beyond a single summary line. (quiet mode).
.TP
2015-01-31 09:15:00 +00:00
.B \-T
Print the TCP headers.
.TP
.B \-v
Display version and copyright information.
.TP
2015-04-22 09:23:37 +00:00
.B \-t
Specify the TTL for inactive connections referenced in the connection pool (in seconds, default: 100).
.TP
.B \-F
Specify the number of packets after which a connection pool cleaning is performed (in packets, default: 100).
.TP
2015-01-31 09:13:33 +00:00
.B \-x
Print each record in hex, as well as decoding it.
.TP
.B \-X
When the -d option is used, binary data is automatically printed
in two columns with a hex dump on the left and the printable characters
on the right. -X suppresses the display of the printable characters,
2015-01-31 09:15:00 +00:00
thus making it easier to cut and paste the hex data into some other
2015-01-31 09:13:33 +00:00
program.

2015-01-31 09:13:33 +00:00
.B \-y
2015-01-31 09:15:00 +00:00
Decorate the output for processing with nroff/troff. Not very
2015-01-31 09:13:33 +00:00
useful for the average user.
.TP
2015-01-31 09:15:00 +00:00
.BI \-i " interface"
Use \fIinterface\fP as the network interface on which to sniff SSL/TLS
traffic.
.TP
.BI \-k " keyfile"
Use \fIkeyfile\fP as the location of the SSL keyfile (OpenSSL format)
Previous versions of ssldump automatically looked in ./server.pem.
Now you must specify your keyfile every time.
.TP
.BI \-l " sslkeylogfile"
Use \fIsslkeylogfile\fP as the location of the SSLKEYLOGFILE
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Key_Log_Format)
.TP
2015-01-31 09:15:00 +00:00
.BI \-p " password"
Use \fIpassword\fP as the SSL keyfile password.
.TP
.BI \-r " file"
Read data from \fIfile\fP instead of from the network.
The old -f option still works but is deprecated and will
probably be removed with the next version.
.TP
.BI \-S " [ " crypto " | " d " | " ht " | " H " ]"
Specify SSL flags to ssldump. These flags include:
.RS
.TP
.I crypto
Print cryptographic information.

.TP
\fIexpression\fP
2015-01-31 09:13:33 +00:00
.RS
Selects what packets ssldump will examine. Technically speaking,
ssldump supports the full expression syntax from PCAP and tcpdump.
In fact, the description here is cribbed from the tcpdump man
page. However, since ssldump needs to examine full TCP streams,
most of the tcpdump expressions will select traffic mixes
that ssldump will simply ignore. Only the expressions which
don't result in incomplete TCP streams are listed here.
.LP
The \fIexpression\fP consists of one or more
2015-01-31 09:15:00 +00:00
.IR primitives .
2015-01-31 09:13:33 +00:00
Primitives usually consist of an
.I id
(name or number) preceded by one or more qualifiers. There are three
different kinds of qualifier:
.IP \fItype\fP
qualifiers say what kind of thing the id name or number refers to.
Possible types are
.BR host ,
.B net
and
.BR port .
E.g., `host foo', `net 128.3', `port 20'. If there is no type
qualifier,
.B host
is assumed.
.IP \fIdir\fP
qualifiers specify a particular transfer direction to and/or from
.I id.
Possible directions are
.BR src ,
.BR dst ,
.B "src or dst"
and
.B "src and"
.BR dst .
E.g., `src foo', `dst net 128.3', `src or dst port ftp-data'. If
there is no dir qualifier,
.B "src or dst"
is assumed.
For `null' link layers (i.e. point to point protocols such as slip) the
.B inbound
and
.B outbound
qualifiers can be used to specify a desired direction.
.LP
More complex filter expressions are built up by using the words
.BR and ,
.B or
and
.B not
to combine primitives. E.g., `host foo and not port ftp and not port ftp-data'.
To save typing, identical qualifier lists can be omitted. E.g.,
`tcp dst port ftp or ftp-data or domain' is exactly the same as
`tcp dst port ftp or tcp dst port ftp-data or tcp dst port domain'.
.LP
Allowable primitives are:
.IP "\fBdst host \fIhost\fR"
True if the IPv4/v6 destination field of the packet is \fIhost\fP,
which may be either an address or a name.
.IP "\fBsrc host \fIhost\fR"
True if the IPv4/v6 source field of the packet is \fIhost\fP.
.IP "\fBhost \fIhost\fP
True if either the IPv4/v6 source or destination of the packet is \fIhost\fP.
Any of the above host expressions can be prepended with the keywords,
\fBip\fP, \fBarp\fP, \fBrarp\fP, or \fBip6\fP as in:
.in +.5i
.nf
\fBip host \fIhost\fR
.fi
.in -.5i
which is equivalent to:
.in +.5i
.nf
\fBether proto \fI\\ip\fB and host \fIhost\fR
.fi
.in -.5i
If \fIhost\fR is a name with multiple IP addresses, each address will
be checked for a match.
.IP "\fBether dst \fIehost\fP
True if the ethernet destination address is \fIehost\fP. \fIEhost\fP
may be either a name from /etc/ethers or a number (see
.IR ethers (3N)
for numeric format).
.IP "\fBether src \fIehost\fP
True if the ethernet source address is \fIehost\fP.
.IP "\fBether host \fIehost\fP
True if either the ethernet source or destination address is \fIehost\fP.
.IP "\fBgateway\fP \fIhost\fP
True if the packet used \fIhost\fP as a gateway. I.e., the ethernet
source or destination address was \fIhost\fP but neither the IP source
nor the IP destination was \fIhost\fP. \fIHost\fP must be a name and
must be found in both /etc/hosts and /etc/ethers. (An equivalent
expression is
.in +.5i
.nf
\fBether host \fIehost \fBand not host \fIhost\fR
.fi
.in -.5i
which can be used with either names or numbers for \fIhost / ehost\fP.)
This syntax does not work in IPv6-enabled configuration at this moment.
.IP "\fBdst net \fInet\fR"
True if the IPv4/v6 destination address of the packet has a network
number of \fInet\fP. \fINet\fP may be either a name from /etc/networks
or a network number (see \fInetworks(4)\fP for details).
.IP "\fBsrc net \fInet\fR"
True if the IPv4/v6 source address of the packet has a network
number of \fInet\fP.
.IP "\fBnet \fInet\fR"
True if either the IPv4/v6 source or destination address of the packet has a network
number of \fInet\fP.
.IP "\fBnet \fInet\fR \fBmask \fImask\fR"
True if the IP address matches \fInet\fR with the specific netmask.
May be qualified with \fBsrc\fR or \fBdst\fR.
Note that this syntax is not valid for IPv6 \fInet\fR.
.IP "\fBnet \fInet\fR/\fIlen\fR"
True if the IPv4/v6 address matches \fInet\fR a netmask \fIlen\fR bits wide.
May be qualified with \fBsrc\fR or \fBdst\fR.
.IP "\fBdst port \fIport\fR"
True if the packet is ip/tcp, ip/udp, ip6/tcp or ip6/udp and has a
destination port value of \fIport\fP.
The \fIport\fP can be a number or a name used in /etc/services (see
.IR tcp (4P)
and
.IR udp (4P)).
If a name is used, both the port
number and protocol are checked. If a number or ambiguous name is used,
only the port number is checked (e.g., \fBdst port 513\fR will print both
tcp/login traffic and udp/who traffic, and \fBport domain\fR will print
both tcp/domain and udp/domain traffic).
.IP "\fBsrc port \fIport\fR"
True if the packet has a source port value of \fIport\fP.
.IP "\fBport \fIport\fR"
True if either the source or destination port of the packet is \fIport\fP.
Any of the above port expressions can be prepended with the keywords,
\fBtcp\fP or \fBudp\fP, as in:
.in +.5i
.nf
\fBtcp src port \fIport\fR
.fi
.in -.5i
which matches only tcp packets whose source port is \fIport\fP.
.LP
Primitives may be combined using:
.IP
A parenthesized group of primitives and operators
(parentheses are special to the Shell and must be escaped).
.IP
Negation (`\fB!\fP' or `\fBnot\fP').
.IP
Concatenation (`\fB&&\fP' or `\fBand\fP').
.IP
Alternation (`\fB||\fP' or `\fBor\fP').
.LP
Negation has highest precedence.
Alternation and concatenation have equal precedence and associate
left to right. Note that explicit \fBand\fR tokens, not juxtaposition,
are now required for concatenation.
.LP
If an identifier is given without a keyword, the most recent keyword
is assumed.
For example,
.in +.5i
.nf
\fBnot host vs and ace\fR
.fi
.in -.5i
is short for
.in +.5i
.nf
\fBnot host vs and host ace\fR
.fi
.in -.5i
which should not be confused with
.in +.5i
.nf
\fBnot ( host vs or ace )\fR
.fi
.in -.5i
.LP
Expression arguments can be passed to ssldump as either a single argument
or as multiple arguments, whichever is more convenient.
Generally, if the expression contains Shell metacharacters, it is
easier to pass it as a single, quoted argument.
Multiple arguments are concatenated with spaces before being parsed.
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP

.RS
.nf
\fBssldump -i le0 port 443\fP
.fi
.RE
.LP

.RS
.nf
\fBssldump -Ad -k ~/server.pem -p foobar -i le0 host romeo
.fi
.RE
.SH OUTPUT FORMAT
.LP
All output is printed to standard out.
.LP
ssldump prints an indication of every new TCP connection using a line
like the following
.nf
.LP
\fBNew TCP connection #2: iromeo.rtfm.com(2302) <-> sr1.rtfm.com(4433)\fP
.LP
.fi
The host which send the first SYN is printed on the left and the host
which responded is printed on the right. Ordinarily, this means that
the SSL client will be printed on the left with the SSL server on the
right. In this case we have a connection from \fIiromeo.rtfm.com\fR (port \fI2303\fR)
to \fIsr1.rtfm.com\fR (port \fI4433\fR). To allow the user to disentangle
traffic from different connections, each connection is numbered. This is
connection \fI2\fR.
.LP
The printout of each SSL record begins with a record line. This
line contains the connection and record number, a timestamp, and the
record type, as in the following:
.LP
.nf
\fB2 3 0.2001 (0.0749) S>C Handshake Certificate\fR
.fi
.LP
This is record \fI3\fR on connection \fI2\fR. The first timestamp
is the time since the beginning of the connection. The second is
the time since the previous record. Both are in seconds.
.LP
The next field in the record line is the direction that the record
was going. \fIC>S\fR indicates records transmitted from client to
server and \fIS>C\fR indicates records transmitted from server to client.
ssldump assumes that the host to transmit the first SYN
is the SSL client (this is nearly always correct).
.LP
The next field is the record type, one of \fIHandshake\fR, \fIIAlert\fR,
\fIChangeCipherSpec\fR, or \fIapplication_data\fR. Finally, ssldump
may print record-specific data on the rest of the line. For \fIHandshake\fR
records, it prints the handshake message. Thus, this record is
a \fICertificate\fR message.
.LP
ssldump chooses certain record types for further decoding. These
are the ones that have proven to be most useful for debugging:
.LP
.nf
\fIClientHello\fR \- version, offered cipher suites, session id
if provided)
\fIServerHello\fR \- version, session_id, chosen cipher suite,
compression method
\fIAlert\fR \- type and level (if obtainable)
.fi
.LP
Fuller decoding of the various records can be obtained by using the
.B \-A
,
.B \-d
,
.B \-k
and
.B \-p
flags.
.LP
.SH DECRYPTION
.LP
ssldump can decrypt traffic between two hosts if the following two
conditions are met:
.RS
.nf
1. ssldump has the keys.
2. Static RSA was used.
.fi
.RE
In any other case, once encryption starts,
ssldump will only be able to determine the
record type. Consider the following section of a trace.
.LP
.nf
\fB1 5 0.4129 (0.1983) C>S Handshake ClientKeyExchange
1 6 0.4129 (0.0000) C>S ChangeCipherSpec
1 7 0.4129 (0.0000) C>S Handshake
1 8 0.5585 (0.1456) S>C ChangeCipherSpec
1 9 0.6135 (0.0550) S>C Handshake
1 10 2.3121 (1.6986) C>S application_data
1 11 2.5336 (0.2214) C>S application_data
1 12 2.5545 (0.0209) S>C application_data
1 13 2.5592 (0.0046) S>C application_data
1 14 2.5592 (0.0000) S>C Alert\fP
.fi
.LP
Note that the \fIClientKeyExchange\fR message type is printed
but the rest of the \fIHandshake\fR messages do not have
types. These are the \fIFinished\fR messages, but because they
are encrypted ssldump only knows that they are of type \fIHandshake\fR.
Similarly, had the \fIAlert\fR in record 14 happened during the handshake,
it's type and level would have been printed. However, since it
is encrypted we can only tell that it is an alert.
.LP
.SH BUGS
.LP
Please send bug reports to ssldump@rtfm.com.
.LP
The TCP reassembler is not perfect. No attempt is made to reassemble IP
fragments and the 3-way handshake and close handshake are imperfectly
implemented. In practice, this turns out not to be much of a problem.
.LP
Support is provided for only for Ethernet and loopback interfaces
because that's all that I have. If you have another kind of network
you will need to modify pcap_cb in base/pcap-snoop.c. If you have
direct experience with ssldump on other networks, please send me patches.
.LP
ssldump doesn't implement session caching and therefore can't decrypt
resumed sessions.
