What about the original ssldump?

This repository is composed of the original SSLDUMP 0.9b3 + a myriad of patches (from Debian and other distributions) + contributions via PR

ssldump is an SSLv3/TLS network protocol analyzer. It identifies TCP connections on the chosen network interface and attempts to interpret them as SSLv3/TLS traffic. When it identifies SSLv3/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.

Why do you maintain this repository?

Because it's a mess. The software maintenance process for old free (unmaintained) software like ssldump is a complete chaotic process. I do this to ease my pain and this could help other too (but this is just a collateral damage).

Where do you use ssldump?

I used it for a relatively small project called Passive SSL. For more information, Passive SSL Passive Detection and Reconnaissance Techniques, to Find, Track, and Attribute Vulnerable ”Devices”. Additional back-end code available is in the crl-monitor repository.

Build instructions

On Debian & Ubuntu:

apt install build-essential autoconf libssl-dev libpcap-dev libnet1-dev
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
(optional) make install

On Fedora, Centos & RHEL:

dnf install autoconf automake gcc make openssl-devel libpcap-devel libnet1-dev
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
(optional) make install

Optional configuration features (aka ./configure options):

  --disable-optimization  disable compiler optimizations (change from -O2 to -O0)
  --enable-debug	  enable debug info (add "-g -DDEBUG" to CFLAGS)
  --enable-asan		  enable AddressSanitizer and other checks
	add "-fsanitize=address,undefined,leak -Wformat -Werror=format-security
		-Werror=array-bounds" to CFLAGS
	use libasan with GCC and embedded ASAN with Clang

Configuration examples:

- Use GCC with libasan, debug info and custom CFLAGS:
	./configure CC=/usr/bin/gcc --enable-asan --enable-debug CFLAGS="-Wall"

- Use Clang with ASAN and no optimizations (-O0)
	./configure CC=/usr/bin/clang --enable-asan --disable-optimization

Notes

The "save to pcap" (-w) option by @ryabkov, is heavily based on the work of @droe on https://github.com/droe/sslsplit .

Contributing

The contributing policy is simple. If you have a patch to propose, make a pull-request via the interface. If the patch works for me, it's merged.
