hello-tls 0.3.2

Create TLS Client Hello messages and scan server capabilities

Hello TLS!

This is a pure Python, single-file, 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

or clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/boppreh/hello_tls.git
cd hello_tls
python hello_tls.py boppreh.com

As a library

Main function signature:

def scan_server(
    host: str,
    port: int = 443,
    protocols: Sequence[Protocol] = tuple(Protocol),
    enumerate_cipher_suites: bool = True,
    fetch_cert_chain: bool = True,
    server_name_indication: str | None = None,
    max_workers: int = DEFAULT_MAX_WORKERS,
    timeout_in_seconds: float | None = DEFAULT_TIMEOUT,
    proxy: str | None = None,
    ) -> ServerScanResult:
    ...

Usage:

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

Output:

ServerScanResult(
    host='boppreh.com',
    port=443,
    protocols={
        SSLv3: None,
        TLS1_0: None,
        TLS1_1: None,
        TLS1_2: ProtocolResult(
            has_compression=False,
            has_cipher_suite_order=True,
            groups=[],
            cipher_suites=[TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, ...]
        ),
        TLS1_3: ProtocolResult(
            has_compression=False,
            has_cipher_suite_order=False,
            groups=[x25519],
            cipher_suites=[TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, ...]
        )
    },
    certificate_chain=[
        Certificate(serial_number, ...)
        Certificate(serial_number, ...)
        Certificate(serial_number, ...)
    ]
)
