sslsplit Usage Example

Run in debug mode (-D), log the connections (-l connections.log), set the chroot jail (-j /tmp/sslsplit/), save files to disk (-S /tmp/), specify the key (-k ca.key), specify the cert (-c ca.crt), specify ssl (ssl), and configure the proxy (0.0.0.0 8443 tcp 0.0.0.0 8080):

root@kali:~# sslsplit -D -l connections.log -j /tmp/sslsplit/ -S /tmp/ -k ca.key -c ca.crt ssl 0.0.0.0 8443 tcp 0.0.0.0 8080

sslsplit

SSLsplit is a tool for man-in-the-middle attacks against SSL/TLS encrypted network connections. Connections are transparently intercepted through a network address translation engine and redirected to SSLsplit. SSLsplit terminates SSL/TLS and initiates a new SSL/TLS connection to the original destination address, while logging all data transmitted. SSLsplit is intended to be useful for network forensics and penetration testing.

root@kali:~# sslsplit -h
Usage: sslsplit [-D] [-f conffile] [-o opt=val] [options...] [proxyspecs...]
  -f conffile use conffile to load configuration from
  -o opt=val  override conffile option opt with value val
  -c pemfile  use CA cert (and key) from pemfile to sign forged certs
  -k pemfile  use CA key (and cert) from pemfile to sign forged certs
  -C pemfile  use CA chain from pemfile (intermediate and root CA certs)
  -K pemfile  use key from pemfile for leaf certs (default: generate)
  -q crlurl   use URL as CRL distribution point for all forged certs
  -t certdir  use cert+chain+key PEM files from certdir to target all sites
              matching the common names (non-matching: -T or generate if CA)
  -A pemfile  use cert+chain+key PEM file as fallback leaf cert when none of
              those given by -t match, instead of generating one on the fly
  -w gendir   write leaf key and only generated certificates to gendir
  -W gendir   write leaf key and all certificates to gendir
  -O          deny all OCSP requests on all proxyspecs
  -P          passthrough SSL connections if they cannot be split because of
              client cert auth or no matching cert and no CA (default: drop)
  -a pemfile  use cert from pemfile when destination requests client certs
  -b pemfile  use key from pemfile when destination requests client certs
  -g pemfile  use DH group params from pemfile (default: keyfiles or auto)
  -G curve    use ECDH named curve (default: prime256v1)
  -Z          disable SSL/TLS compression on all connections
  -r proto    only support one of tls10 tls11 tls12 (default: all)
  -R proto    disable one of tls10 tls11 tls12 (default: none)
  -s ciphers  use the given OpenSSL cipher suite spec (default: ALL:-aNULL)
  -x engine   load OpenSSL engine with the given identifier
  -e engine   specify default NAT engine to use (default: netfilter)
  -E          list available NAT engines and exit
  -u user     drop privileges to user (default if run as root: nobody)
  -m group    when using -u, override group (default: primary group of user)
  -j jaildir  chroot() to jaildir (impacts sni proxyspecs, see manual page)
  -p pidfile  write pid to pidfile (default: no pid file)
  -l logfile  connect log: log one line summary per connection to logfile
  -L logfile  content log: full data to file or named pipe (excludes -S/-F)
  -S logdir   content log: full data to separate files in dir (excludes -L/-F)
  -F pathspec content log: full data to sep files with % subst (excl. -L/-S):
              %T - initial connection time as an ISO 8601 UTC timestamp
              %d - destination host and port
              %D - destination host
              %p - destination port
              %s - source host and port
              %S - source host
              %q - source port
              %% - literal '%'
      e.g.    "/var/log/sslsplit/%T-%s-%d.log"
  -X pcapfile pcap log: packets to pcapfile (excludes -Y/-y)
  -Y pcapdir  pcap log: packets to separate files in dir (excludes -X/-y)
  -y pathspec pcap log: packets to sep files with % subst (excl. -X/-Y):
              see option -F for pathspec format
  -I if       mirror packets to interface
  -T addr     mirror packets to target address (used with -I)
  -M logfile  log master keys to logfile in SSLKEYLOGFILE format
  -d          daemon mode: run in background, log error messages to syslog
  -D          debug mode: run in foreground, log debug messages on stderr
  -V          print version information and exit
  -h          print usage information and exit
  proxyspec = type listenaddr+port [natengine|targetaddr+port|"sni"+port]
      e.g.    http 0.0.0.0 8080 www.roe.ch 80  # http/4; static hostname dst
              https ::1 8443 2001:db8::1 443   # https/6; static address dst
              https 127.0.0.1 9443 sni 443     # https/4; SNI DNS lookups
              tcp 127.0.0.1 10025              # tcp/4; default NAT engine
              ssl 2001:db8::2 9999 pf          # ssl/6; NAT engine 'pf'
              autossl ::1 10025                # autossl/6; STARTTLS et al
Example:
  sslsplit -k ca.key -c ca.pem -P  https 127.0.0.1 8443  https ::1 8443
