Hello TLS!

This is a pure Python, dependency-less* implementation of SSL/TLS Client Hello and basic scaning.

Its purpose is to quickly discover what cipher suites and SSL/TLS protocols are enabled on a server. Since the server doesn't advertise this list, instead picking from what is offered by the client, hello_tls.py sends a sequence of Client Hello with different cipher suite and protocol combinations. It usually needs less than 8 requests and 300 ms, but for servers with many cipher suites or high latency, bumping max_workers splits discovery over many threads.

There's no actual cryptography, just sending a stream of bytes and seeing if the server reply vaguely looks ok or not. Supports TLS 1.3, TLS 1.2, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0, and SSLv3.

* Optionally, the certificate chain can be fetched and parsed, at the cost of relying on pyOpenSSL.

Installation

Install via pip:

pip install hello_tls
python -m hello_tls boppreh.com --no-certs

or clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/boppreh/hello_tls.git
cd hello_tls/src
python -m hello_tls boppreh.com --no-certs

As a library

Main function signature:

def scan_server(
    connection_settings: Union[ConnectionSettings, str],
    client_hello: Optional[ClientHello] = None,
    do_enumerate_cipher_suites: bool = True,
    do_enumerate_groups: bool = True,
    do_test_sni: bool = True,
    fetch_cert_chain: bool = True,
    max_workers: int = DEFAULT_MAX_WORKERS,
    progress: Callable[[int, int], None] = lambda current, total: None,
    ) -> ServerScanResult:
    ...

Usage:

from hello_tls import scan_server
result = scan_server('boppreh.com')
print(result)

Output:
