harlogger 2.1.3

Simple utlity for sniffing decrypted HTTP/HTTPS traffic on an iOS device (either jailbroken or not)

Description

Simple pure python utility for sniffing HTTP/HTTPS decrypted traffic recorded by one of Apple's not-so-well documented APIs.

Installation

python3 -m pip install --user -U harlogger

Profile method for non-jailbroken devices

This method applies to Apple's CFNetwork profile. This profile is meant for debugging processes using the CFNetwork framework. This method doesn't include the request/response body.

Howto

• Download Apple's CFNetwork profile which can be found here: https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/iOS/iOS_Logs/CFNetworkDiagnostics.mobileconfig

• Install it via any way you prefer. I'm using pymobiledevice3:

  # if you don't already have it
  python3 -m pip install -U --user pymobiledevice3
  
  # install the profile
  pymobiledevice3 profile install CFNetworkDiagnostics.mobileconfig
  

• That's it! :) You can now just start sniffing out everything using:

  python3 -m harlogger profile
  

Output should look like:

➜  harlogger git:(master) ✗ python3 -m harlogger profile

Secret preference method for jailbroken devices

iOS 14.x devices contain a hidden feature for sniffing decrypted HTTP/HTTPS traffic from all processes using the CFNetwork framework into an HAR format. To trigger this feature on a jailbroken device, you can simply place the correct configuration for com.apple.CFNetwork and trigger the com.apple.CFNetwork.har-capture-update notification. This method includes the request/response body as well.

iOS 13.x or under don't have this feature.

Howto

• Put com.apple.CFNetowrk.plist inside /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/
• Restart the device
• That's it! :) You can now just start sniffing out everything using:

  python3 -m harlogger preference
  

Output should look like:

➜  harlogger git:(master) ✗ python3 -m harlogger preference

Enable HTTP instrumentation method

Starting at iOS 15.0, the device will require the target process to have any of the following requirements:

• com.apple.private.cfnetwork.har-capture-delegation entitlement
• get-task-allow entitlement
• com.apple.security.get-task-allow entitlement
• OS build to be in debug mode

In order to make the device enable HAR logging you may use pymobiledevice3 as follows:

python3 -m pymobiledevice3 developer dvt har

Now you can start sniffing using the preference method:

python3 -m harlogger preference
