Passive TLS client and server fingerprinting from packet captures. Two-crate
workspace: tlsfp-core (parsing and fingerprint logic, no I/O, unsafe forbidden)
and tlsfp (clap CLI). Edition 2024, MSRV 1.85.
Core (M0-M4): a hand-rolled bounds-checked TLS parser for ClientHello,
ServerHello, and the TLS 1.2 Certificate chain, plus the full fingerprint
family computed byte-exact against published vectors: JA3/JA3S (MD5), JA4/JA4_r,
JA4S, JA4H, JA4X, and JA4T. GREASE is stripped, wire order and unknown cipher
and extension values are preserved.
Pipeline (M5): a pcap and pcapng file reader behind a PacketSource trait,
etherparse L2-L4 decode (Ethernet, raw IP, BSD loopback, Linux SLL and SLL2,
VLAN and QinQ), and a hand-rolled per-flow TCP reassembler with wrapping serial
arithmetic, out-of-order parking, first-write-wins overlap resolution, and
bounded memory. The tlsfp pcap subcommand fingerprints every handshake in a
capture, as readable lines or NDJSON.
Verified three ways: 94 tests including unit KATs, nine real-pcap full-pipeline
KATs against the FoxIO sample corpus, and property tests that reassemble
arbitrarily segmented and reordered streams. Builds clean on stable and MSRV
1.85; clippy -D warnings and rustfmt clean.
Test captures under testdata/pcap are vendored unmodified from the FoxIO ja4
repository with per-file SHA-256 provenance.
