Modules

The eCapture tool comprises 8 modules that respectively support plaintext capture for TLS/SSL encryption libraries like OpenSSL, GnuTLS, NSPR, BoringSSL, and GoTLS. Additionally, it facilitates software audits for Bash, MySQL, and PostgreSQL applications.

bash capture bash command
zsh capture zsh command
gnutls capture gnutls text content without CA cert for gnutls libraries.
gotls Capturing plaintext communication from Golang programs encrypted with TLS/HTTPS.
mysqld capture sql queries from mysqld 5.6/5.7/8.0 .
nss capture nss/nspr encrypted text content without CA cert for nss/nspr libraries.
postgres capture sql queries from postgres 10+.
tls use to capture tls/ssl text content without CA cert. (Support openssl 1.0.x/1.1.x/3.0.x or newer). You can use ecapture -h to view the list of subcommands.

OpenSSL Module

eCapture search /etc/ld.so.conf file default, to search load directories of SO file, and search openssl shard libraries location. or you can use --libssl flag to set shard library path.

If target program is compile statically, you can set program path as --libssl flag value directly。

The OpenSSL module supports three capture modes:

pcap/pcapng mode stores captured plaintext data in pcap-NG format.
keylog/key mode saves the TLS handshake keys to a file.
text mode directly captures plaintext data, either outputting to a specified file or printing to the command line.

Pcap Mode

Supported TLS encrypted http 1.0/1.1/2.0 over TCP, and http3 QUIC protocol over UDP. You can specify -m pcap or -m pcapng and use it in conjunction with --pcapfile and -i parameters. The default value for --pcapfile is ecapture_openssl.pcapng.

sudo ecapture tls -m pcap -i eth0 --pcapfile=ecapture.pcapng tcp port 443

This command saves captured plaintext data packets as a pcapng file, which can be viewed using Wireshark.

sudo ecapture tls -m pcap -w ecap.pcapng -i ens160

Used Wireshark to open ecap.pcapng file to view the plaintext data packets.

Keylog Mode

You can specify -m keylog or -m key and use it in conjunction with the --keylogfile parameter, which defaults to ecapture_masterkey.log.

The captured OpenSSL TLS Master Secret information is saved to --keylogfile. You can also enable tcpdump packet capture and then use Wireshark to open the file and set the Master Secret path to view plaintext data packets.

sudo ecapture tls -m keylog -keylogfile=openssl_keylog.log

You can also directly use the tshark software for real-time decryption and display:

tshark -o tls.keylog_file:ecapture_masterkey.log -Y http -T fields -e http.file_data -f "port 443" -i eth0

Text Mode

sudo ecapture tls -m text will output all plaintext data packets. (Starting from v0.7.0, it no longer captures SSLKEYLOG information.)

GoTLS Module

Similar to the OpenSSL module.

gotls command

capture tls text context.

Step 1:

sudo ecapture gotls --elfpath=/home/cfc4n/go_https_client --hex

Step 2:

/home/cfc4n/go_https_client

more help

sudo ecapture gotls -h

Other Modules

such as bash\mysqld\postgres modules, you can use ecapture -h to view the list of subcommands.
