Connections are transparently intercepted through a network address translation engine and redirected to SSLsplit. SSLsplit terminates SSL/TLS and initiates a new SSL/TLS connection to the original destination address, while logging all data transmitted. SSLsplit is intended to be useful for network forensics and penetration testing. .LP SSLsplit supports plain TCP, plain SSL, HTTP and HTTPS connections over both IPv4 and IPv6. For SSL and HTTPS connections, SSLsplit generates and signs forged X509v3 certificates on-the-fly, based on the original server certificate subject DN and subjectAltName extension. SSLsplit fully supports Server Name Indication (SNI) and is able to work with RSA, DSA and ECDSA keys and DHE and ECDHE cipher suites. Depending on the version of OpenSSL, SSLsplit supports SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2, and optionally SSL 2.0 as well. SSLsplit can also use existing certificates of which the private key is available, instead of generating forged ones. SSLsplit supports NULL-prefix CN certificates and can deny OCSP requests in a generic way. For HTTP and HTTPS connections, SSLsplit removes response headers for HPKP in order to prevent public key pinning, for HSTS to allow the user to accept untrusted certificates, and Alternate Protocols to prevent switching to QUIC/SPDY. .LP SSLsplit supports a number of NAT engines, static forwarding and SNI DNS lookups to determine the original destination of redirected connections (see NAT ENGINES and PROXY SPECIFICATIONS below). .LP To actually implement an attack, you also need to redirect the traffic to the system running \fBsslsplit\fP. Your options include running \fBsslsplit\fP on a legitimate router, ARP spoofing, ND spoofing, DNS poisoning, deploying a rogue access point (e.g. using hostap mode), physical recabling, malicious VLAN reconfiguration or route injection, /etc/hosts modification and so on. SSLsplit does not implement the actual traffic redirection. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-c \fIpemfile\fP Use CA certificate from \fIpemfile\fP to sign certificates forged on-the-fly. If \fIpemfile\fP also contains the matching CA private key, it is also loaded, otherwise it must be provided with \fB-k\fP. If \fIpemfile\fP also contains Diffie-Hellman group parameters, they are also loaded, otherwise they can be provided with \fB-g\fP. If \fB-t\fP is also given, SSLsplit will only forge a certificate if there is no matching certificate in the provided certificate directory. .TP .B \-C \fIpemfile\fP Use CA certificates from \fIpemfile\fP as extra certificates in the certificate chain. This is needed if the CA given with \fB-k\fP and \fB-c\fP is a sub-CA, in which case any intermediate CA certificates and the root CA certificate must be included in the certificate chain. .TP .B \-d Detach from TTY and run as a daemon, logging error messages to syslog instead of standard error. .TP .B \-D Run in debug mode, log lots of debugging information to standard error. This also forces foreground mode and cannot be used with \fB-d\fP. .TP .B \-e \fIengine\fP Use \fIengine\fP as the default NAT engine for \fIproxyspecs\fP without explicit NAT engine, static destination address or SNI mode. \fIengine\fP can be any of the NAT engines supported by the system, as returned by \fB-E\fP. .TP .B \-E List all supported NAT engines available on the system and exit. See NAT ENGINES for a list of NAT engines currently supported by SSLsplit. .TP .B \-F \fIlogspec\fP Log connection content to separate log files with the given path specification (see LOG SPECIFICATIONS below). For each connection, a log file will be written, which will contain both directions of data as transmitted. Information about the connection will be contained in the filename only. .TP .B \-g \fIpemfile\fP Use Diffie-Hellman group parameters from \fIpemfile\fP for Ephemereal Diffie-Hellman (EDH/DHE) cipher suites. If \fB-g\fP is not given, SSLsplit first tries to load DH parameters from the PEM files given by \fB-K\fP, \fB-k\fP or \fB-c\fP. If no DH parameters are found in the key files, built-in 512 or 1024 bit group parameters are automatically used iff a non-RSA private key is given with \fB-K\fP. This is because DSA/DSS private keys can by themselves only be used for signing and thus require DH to exchange an SSL/TLS session key. If \fB-g\fP is given, the parameters from the given \fIpemfile\fP will always be used, even with RSA private keys (within the cipher suites available in OpenSSL). The \fB-g\fP option is only available if SSLsplit was built against a version of OpenSSL which supports Diffie-Hellman cipher suites. .TP .B \-G \fIcurve\fP Use the named \fIcurve\fP for Ephemereal Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (EECDH) cipher suites. If \fB-G\fP is not given, a default curve (\fBsecp160r2\fP) is used automatically iff a non-RSA private key is given with \fB-K\fP. This is because ECDSA/ECDSS private keys can by themselves only be used for signing and thus require ECDH to exchange an SSL/TLS session key. If \fB-G\fP is given, the named \fIcurve\fP will always be used, even with RSA private keys (within the cipher suites available in OpenSSL). The \fB-G\fP option is only available if SSLsplit was built against a version of OpenSSL which supports Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman cipher suites. .TP .B \-h Display help on usage and exit. .TP .B \-i For each connection, find the local process owning the connection. This makes process information such as pid, owner:group and executable path for connections originating on the same system as SSLsplit available to the connect log and enables the respective \fB-F\fP path specification directives. \fB-i\fP is available on Mac OS X and FreeBSD; support for other platforms has not been implemented yet. .TP .B \-j \fIjaildir\fP Change the root directory to \fIjaildir\fP using chroot(2) after opening files. Note that this has implications for \fBsni\fP \fIproxyspecs\fP. Depending on your operating system, you will need to copy files such as \fB/etc/resolv.conf\fP to \fIjaildir\fP in order for name resolution to work. Using \fBsni\fP proxyspecs depends on name resolution. Some operating systems require special device nodes such as \fB/dev/null\fP to be present within the jail. Check your system's documentation for details. .TP .B \-k \fIpemfile\fP Use CA private key from \fIpemfile\fP to sign certificates forged on-the-fly. If \fIpemfile\fP also contains the matching CA certificate, it is also loaded, otherwise it must be provided with \fB-c\fP. If \fIpemfile\fP also contains Diffie-Hellman group parameters, they are also loaded, otherwise they can be provided with \fB-g\fP. If \fB-t\fP is also given, SSLsplit will only forge a certificate if there is no matching certificate in the provided certificate directory. .TP .B \-K \fIpemfile\fP Use private key from \fIpemfile\fP for certificates forged on-the-fly. If \fB-K\fP is not given, SSLsplit will generate a random 1024-bit RSA key. .TP .B \-l \fIlogfile\fP Log connections to \fIlogfile\fP in a single line per connection format, including addresses and ports and some HTTP and SSL information, if available. SIGUSR1 will cause \fIlogfile\fP to be re-opened. .TP .B \-L \fIlogfile\fP Log connection content to \fIlogfile\fP. The content log will contain a parsable log format with transmitted data, prepended with headers identifying the connection and the data length of each logged segment. SIGUSR1 will cause \fIlogfile\fP to be re-opened. .TP .B \-m When dropping privileges using \fB-u\fP, override the target primary group to be set to \fIgroup\fP. .TP .B \-O Deny all Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) requests on all \fIproxyspecs\fP and for all OCSP servers with an OCSP response of \fBtryLater\fP, causing OCSP clients to temporarily accept even revoked certificates. HTTP requests are being treated as OCSP requests if the method is \fBGET\fP and the URI contains a syntactically valid OCSPRequest ASN.1 structure parsable by OpenSSL, or if the method is \fBPOST\fP and the \fBContent-Type\fP is \fBapplication/ocsp-request\fP. For this to be effective, SSLsplit must be handling traffic destined to the port used by the OCSP server. In particular, SSLsplit must be configured to receive traffic to all ports used by OCSP servers of targetted certificates within the \fIcertdir\fP specified by \fB-t\fP. .TP .B \-p \fIpidfile\fP Write the process ID to \fIpidfile\fP and refuse to run if the \fIpidfile\fP is already in use by another process. .TP .B \-P Passthrough SSL/TLS connections which cannot be split instead of dropping them. Connections cannot be split if \fB-c\fP and \fB-k\fP are not given and the site does not match any certificate loaded using \fB-t\fP, or if the connection to the original server gives SSL/TLS errors. Specifically, this happens if the site requests a client certificate. Passthrough with \fB-P\fP results in uninterrupted service for the clients, while dropping is the more secure alternative if unmonitored connections must be prevented. .TP .B \-r \fIproto\fP Force SSL/TLS protocol version on both client and server side to \fIproto\fP by selecting the respective OpenSSL method constructor instead of the default SSLv23_method() which supports all protocol versions. This is useful when analyzing traffic to a server that only supports a specific version of SSL/TLS and does not implement proper protocol negotiation. Depending on build options and the version of OpenSSL that is used, the following values for \fIproto\fP are accepted: \fBssl2\fP, \fBssl3\fP, \fBtls10\fP, \fBtls11\fP and \fBtls12\fP. Note that SSL 2.0 support is not built in by default because some servers don't handle SSL 2.0 Client Hello messages gracefully. .TP .B \-R \fIproto\fP Disable the SSL/TLS protocol version \fIproto\fP on both client and server side by disabling the respective protocols in OpenSSL. To disable multiple protocol versions, \fB-R\fP can be given multiple times. If \fI-r\fP is also given, there will be no effect in disabling other protocol versions. Disabling protocol versions is useful when analyzing traffic to a server that does not handle some protocol versions well, or to test behaviour with different protocol versions. Depending on build options and the version of OpenSSL that is used, the following values for \fIproto\fP are accepted: \fBssl2\fP, \fBssl3\fP, \fBtls10\fP, \fBtls11\fP and \fBtls12\fP. Note that SSL 2.0 support is not built in by default because some servers don't handle SSL 2.0 Client Hello messages gracefully. .TP .B \-s \fIciphers\fP Use OpenSSL \fIciphers\fP specification for both server and client SSL/TLS connections. If \fB-s\fP is not given, a cipher list of \fBALL:-aNULL\fP is used. Normally, SSL/TLS implementations choose the most secure cipher suites, not the fastest ones. By specifying an appropriate OpenSSL cipher list, the set of cipher suites can be limited to fast algorithms, or \fBeNULL\fP cipher suites can be added. Note that for connections to be successful, the SSLsplit cipher suites must include at least one cipher suite supported by both the client and the server of each connection. See ciphers(1) for details on how to construct OpenSSL cipher lists. .TP .B \-S \fIlogdir\fP Log connection content to separate log files under \fIlogdir\fP. For each connection, a log file will be written, which will contain both directions of data as transmitted. Information about the connection will be contained in the filename only. .TP .B \-t \fIcertdir\fP Use private key, certificate and certificate chain from PEM files in \fIcertdir\fP for sites matching the respective common names, instead of using certificates forged on-the-fly. A single PEM file must contain a single private key, a single certificate and optionally intermediate and root CA certificates to use as certificate chain. If \fB-c\fP and \fB-k\fP are also given, certificates will be forged on-the-fly for sites matching none of the certificates loaded from \fIcertdir\fP. Otherwise, connections matching no certificate will be dropped, or if \fB-P\fP is given, passed through without splitting SSL/TLS. .TP .B \-u Drop privileges after opening sockets and files by setting the real, effective and stored user IDs to \fIuser\fP and loading the appropriate primary and ancillary groups. If \fB-u\fP is not given, SSLsplit will drop privileges to the stored UID if EUID != UID (setuid bit scenario), or to \fBnobody\fP if running with full \fBroot\fP privileges (EUID == UID == 0). Due to an Apple bug, \fB-u\fP cannot be used with \fBpf\fP proxyspecs on Mac OS X. .TP .B \-V Display version and compiled features information and exit. .TP .B \-w \fIgendir\fP Write generated keys and certificates to individual files in \fIgendir\fP. For keys, the key identifier is used as filename, which consists of the SHA-1 hash of the ASN.1 bit string of the public key, as referenced by the subjectKeyIdentifier extension in certificates. For certificates, the SHA-1 fingerprints of the original and the used (forged) certificate are combined to form the filename. Note that only newly generated certificates are written to disk. .TP .B \-W \fIgendir\fP Same as \fB-w\fP, but also write original certificates and certificates not newly generated, such as those loaded from \fB-t\fP. .TP .B \-Z Disable SSL/TLS compression on all connections. This is useful if your limiting factor is CPU, not network bandwidth. The \fB-Z\fP option is only available if SSLsplit was built against a version of OpenSSL which supports disabling compression. .SH "PROXY SPECIFICATIONS" Proxy specifications (\fIproxyspecs\fP) consist of the connection type, listen address and static forward address or address resolution mechanism (NAT engine, SNI DNS lookup): .LP .na \fBhttps\fP \fIlistenaddr port\fP [\fInat-engine\fP|\fIfwdaddr port\fP|\fBsni\fP \fIport\fP] .br \fBssl\fP \fIlistenaddr port\fP [\fInat-engine\fP|\fIfwdaddr port\fP|\fBsni\fP \fIport\fP] .br \fBhttp\fP \fIlistenaddr port\fP [\fInat-engine\fP|\fIfwdaddr port\fP] .br \fBtcp\fP \fIlistenaddr port\fP [\fInat-engine\fP|\fIfwdaddr port\fP] .ad .TP \fBhttps\fP SSL/TLS interception with HTTP protocol decoding, including the removal of HPKP, HSTS and Alternate Protocol response headers. .TP \fBssl\fP SSL/TLS interception without any lower level protocol decoding; decrypted connection content is treated as opaque stream of bytes and not modified. .TP \fBhttp\fP Plain TCP connection without SSL/TLS, with HTTP protocol decoding, including the removal of HPKP, HSTS and Alternate Protocol response headers. .TP \fBtcp\fP Plain TCP connection without SSL/TLS and without any lower level protocol decoding; decrypted connection content is treated as opaque stream of bytes and not modified. .TP .I listenaddr port IPv4 or IPv6 address and port or service name to listen on. This is the address and port where the NAT engine should redirect connections to. .TP .I nat-engine NAT engine to query for determining the original destination address and port of transparently redirected connections. If no engine is given, the default engine is used, unless overridden with \fB-e\fP. When using a NAT engine, \fBsslsplit\fP needs to run on the same system as the NAT rules redirecting the traffic to \fBsslsplit\fP. See NAT ENGINES for a list of supported NAT engines. .TP .I fwdaddr port Static destination address, IPv4 or IPv6, with port or service name. When this is used, connections are forwarded to the given server address and port. If \fIfwdaddr\fP is a hostname, it will be resolved to an IP address. .TP \fBsni\fP \fIport\fP Use the Server Name Indication (SNI) hostname sent by the client in the ClientHello SSL/TLS message to determine the IP address of the server to connect to. This only works for \fBssl\fP and \fBhttps\fP \fIproxyspecs\fP and needs a port or service name as an argument. Because this requires DNS lookups, it is preferrable to use NAT engine lookups (see above), except when that is not possible, such as when there is no supported NAT engine or when running \fBsslsplit\fP on a different system than the NAT rules redirecting the actual connections. Note that when using \fB-j\fP with \fBsni\fP, you may need to prepare \fIjaildir\fP to make name resolution work from within the chroot directory. .SH SIGNALS A running \fBsslsplit\fP accepts SIGINT and SIGQUIT for a clean shutdown and SIGUSR1 to re-open the long-living log files (\fB-l\fP and \fB-L\fP). Per-connection log files (\fB-S\fP and \fB-F\fP) are not re-opened because their filename is specific to the connection. .SH "LOG SPECIFICATIONS" Log specifications are composed of zero or more printf-style directives; ordinary characters are included directly in the output path. SSLsplit current supports the following directives: .TP .I %T The initial connection time as an ISO 8601 UTC timestamp. .TP .I %d The destination address and port. .TP .I %s The source address and port. .TP .I %x The name of the local process. Requires \fB-i\fP to be used. If process information is unavailable, this directive will be omitted from the output path. .TP .I %X The full path of the local process. Requires \fB-i\fP to be used. If process information is unavailable, this directive will be omitted from the output path. .TP .I %u The username or numeric uid of the local process. Requires \fB-i\fP to be used. If process information is unavailable, this directive will be omitted from the output path. .TP .I %g The group name or numeric gid of the local process. Requires \fB-i\fP to be used. If process information is unavailable, this directive will be omitted from the output path. .TP .I %% A literal '%' character. .LP .SH "NAT ENGINES" SSLsplit currently supports the following NAT engines: .TP .B pf OpenBSD packet filter (pf) \fBrdr\fP/\fBrdr-to\fP NAT redirects, also available on FreeBSD, NetBSD and Mac OS X.

The main thread handles the listeners and signalling, while a number of worker threads equal to twice the number of CPU cores is used for handling the actual connections in separate event bases, including the CPU-intensive SSL/TLS handling. .LP Care has been taken to choose well-performing data structures for caching certificates and SSL sessions. Logging is implemented in separate disk writer threads to ensure that socket event handling threads don't have to block on disk I/O. DNS lookups are performed asynchroniously. SSLsplit uses SSL session caching on both ends to minimize the amount of full SSL handshakes, but even then, the limiting factor in handling SSL connections are the actual bignum computations. .SH "SEE ALSO" openssl(1), ciphers(1), speed(1), pf(4), ipfw(8), iptables(8), ip6tables(8), ip(8), hostapd(8), arpspoof(8), parasite6(8), yersinia(8), .I https://www.roe.ch/SSLsplit .SH AUTHORS SSLsplit was written by Daniel Roethlisberger .
