Chapter I: TLS parroting

In this chapter we will write together a main.go file that uses netxlite to establish a new TCP connection and then performs a TLS handshake using the established connection.

Rather than using the Go standard library, like we did in the previous chapter, we will use the gitlab.com/yawning/utls.git library to customize the ClientHello to look like Firefox.

(This file is auto-generated from the corresponding source file, so make sure you don't edit it manually.)

The main.go file

We define main.go file using package main.

The beginning of the program is equal to the previous chapter, so there is not much to say about it.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"crypto/tls"
	"errors"
	"flag"
	"net"
	"os"
	"time"

	"github.com/apex/log"
	"github.com/ooni/probe-cli/v3/internal/model"
	"github.com/ooni/probe-cli/v3/internal/netxlite"
	utls "gitlab.com/yawning/utls.git"
)

func main() {
	log.SetLevel(log.DebugLevel)
	address := flag.String("address", "8.8.4.4:443", "Remote endpoint address")
	sni := flag.String("sni", "dns.google", "SNI to use")
	timeout := flag.Duration("timeout", 60*time.Second, "Timeout")
	flag.Parse()
	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), *timeout)
	defer cancel()
	tlsConfig := &tls.Config{
		ServerName: *sni,
		NextProtos: []string{"h2", "http/1.1"},
		RootCAs:    nil,
	}
	conn, err := dialTLS(ctx, *address, tlsConfig)
	if err != nil {
		fatal(err)
	}
	state := conn.ConnectionState()
	log.Infof("Conn type          : %T", conn)
	log.Infof("Cipher suite       : %s", netxlite.TLSCipherSuiteString(state.CipherSuite))
	log.Infof("Negotiated protocol: %s", state.NegotiatedProtocol)
	log.Infof("TLS version        : %s", netxlite.TLSVersionString(state.Version))
	conn.Close()
}

func dialTCP(ctx context.Context, address string) (net.Conn, error) {
	netx := &netxlite.Netx{}
	d := netx.NewDialerWithoutResolver(log.Log)
	return d.DialContext(ctx, "tcp", address)
}

func handshakeTLS(ctx context.Context, tcpConn net.Conn, config *tls.Config) (model.TLSConn, error) {

The following line of code is where we diverge from the previous chapter. Here we're creating a TLS handshaker that uses gitlab.com/yawning/utls.git and sets the ClientHello to look like Firefox 55. (This is also know as TLS parroting because we're parroting what this version of Firefox would do.)

Note that, when you use parroting, some settings inside the tls.Config (such as the ALPN) may be ignored if they conflict with what the parroted browser would do.

	netx := &netxlite.Netx{}
	th := netx.NewTLSHandshakerUTLS(log.Log, &utls.HelloFirefox_55)

The rest of the program is exactly like the one in the previous chapter, so we won't add further comments.

	return th.Handshake(ctx, tcpConn, config)
}

func dialTLS(ctx context.Context, address string, config *tls.Config) (model.TLSConn, error) {
	tcpConn, err := dialTCP(ctx, address)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	tlsConn, err := handshakeTLS(ctx, tcpConn, config)
	if err != nil {
		tcpConn.Close()
		return nil, err
	}
	return tlsConn, nil
}

func fatal(err error) {
	var ew *netxlite.ErrWrapper
	if !errors.As(err, &ew) {
		log.Fatal("cannot get ErrWrapper")
	}
	log.Warnf("error string    : %s", err.Error())
	log.Warnf("OONI failure    : %s", ew.Failure)
	log.Warnf("failed operation: %s", ew.Operation)
	log.Warnf("underlying error: %+v", ew.WrappedErr)
	os.Exit(1)
}

Running the code

You can now run this code as follows:

go run -race ./internal/tutorial/netxlite/chapter03

You will see debug logs describing what is happening along with timing info.

Connect timeout
go run -race ./internal/tutorial/netxlite/chapter03 -address 8.8.4.4:1

should cause a connect timeout error. Try lowering the timout adding, e.g., the -timeout 5s flag to the command line.

Connection refused
go run -race ./internal/tutorial/netxlite/chapter03 -address '[::1]:1'

should give you a connection refused error in most cases. (We are quoting the ::1 IPv6 address using [ and ] here.)

SNI mismatch
go run -race ./internal/tutorial/netxlite/chapter03 -sni example.com

should give you a TLS invalid hostname error (for historical reasons named ssl_invalid_hostname).

TLS handshake reset

If you're on Linux, build Jafar (go build -v ./internal/cmd/tinyjafar) and then run:

sudo ./tinyjafar -iptables-reset-keyword dns.google

Then run in another terminal

go run ./internal/tutorial/netxlite/chapter03

Then you can interrupt Jafar using ^C.

TLS handshake timeout

If you're on Linux, build Jafar (go build -v ./internal/cmd/tinyjafar) and then run:

sudo ./tinyjafar -iptables-drop-keyword dns.google

Then run in another terminal

go run ./internal/tutorial/netxlite/chapter03

Then you can interrupt Jafar using ^C.

Conclusions

We have seen how to use netxlite to establish a TCP connection and perform a TLS handshake using such a connection with a specific configuration that parrots Firefox v55's ClientHello.
