CryptoLyzer 0.7.2

Fast and flexible server cryptographic (TLS/SSL/SSH) settings analyzer library for Python with CLI

CryptoLyzer

CryptoLyzer is a fast and flexible server cryptographic settings analyzer library for Python with an easy-to-use command line interface with both human-readable (Markdown) and machine-readable (JSON) output. It works with multiple cryptographic protocols (SSL/ TLS, opportunistic TLS, SSH) and analyzes additional security mechanisms (web security related HTTP response header fields, JA3 tag).

What is it and what is it not?

The main purpose of creating this application is the fact, that cryptography protocol analysis differs in many aspect from establishing a connection using a cryptographic protocol. Analysis is mostly testing where we trigger special and corner cases of the protocol and we also trying to establish connection with hardly supported, experimental, obsoleted or even deprecated mechanisms or algorithms which are may or may not supported by the latest or any version of an implementation of the cryptographic protocol.

As follows, it is neither a comprehensive nor a secure client/server implementation of any cryptographic protocol. On the one hand analyzer implements only the absolutely necessary parts of the protocol to interact with servers. On the other it may use completely insecure algorithms and mechanisms. It is not designed and contraindicated to use these client/server implementations establishing secure connections. If you are searching for proper cryptographic protocol implementations, there are several existing wrappers and native implementations for Python (eg: M2Crypto, pyOpenSSL, Paramiko, ...).

Quick start

CryptoLyzer can be installed directly via pip

pip install cryptolyzer

cryptolyze tls ciphers www.example.com
cryptolyze ssh2 ciphers www.example.com
cryptolyze http headers www.example.com

or can be used via Docker

docker run --rm coroner/cryptolyzer tls ciphers www.example.com
docker run --rm coroner/cryptolyzer ssh2 ciphers www.example.com
docker run --rm coroner/cryptolyzer http headers www.example.com

docker run -ti --rm -p 127.0.0.1:4433:4433 coroner/cryptolyzer ja3 generate 127.0.0.1:4433
openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:4433

or via APT on Debian based systems

apt update && apt install -y gnupg2 curl
echo 'deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pfeiffersz:/cryptolyzer:/dev/Debian_10/ /' >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/cryptolyzer.list
curl -s https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pfeiffersz:/cryptolyzer:/dev/Debian_10/Release.key | apt-key add -

apt update && apt install -y python3-pkg-resources python3-cryptoparser python3-cryptolyzer

cryptolyze tls ciphers www.example.com

or via DNF on Fedora based systems

dnf install 'dnf-command(config-manager)'
dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pfeiffersz:/cryptolyzer:/dev/Fedora_31/
rpm --import http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pfeiffersz:/cryptolyzer:/dev/Fedora_31/repodata/repomd.xml.key

Protocol Specific Features

Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Only features that cannot be or difficultly implemented by the most popular SSL/TLS implementations (eg: GnuTls, LibreSSL, OpenSSL, wolfSSL, ...) are listed.

Protocol Versions

1. support not only the final, but also draft versions

Cipher Suites

1. supports each cipher suites discussed on ciphersuite.info
2. supports GOST (national standards of the Russian Federation and CIS countries) cipher suites

Fingerprinting

1. generates JA3 tag of any connecting TLS client independently from its type (graphical/cli, browser/email client/...)
2. decodes existing JA3 tags by showing human-readable format of the TLS parameters represented by the tag
