In order to aid in debugging protocols which utilize tls (like http2), wireshark and other tools support reading a "key log" file as described here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Key_Log_Format

crypto/tls.Config struct should support logging keys to a io.Writer.

I wish for this to be added, it would be so helpful debugging especially HTTP2. It is a trivial code change as demonstrated by my proof of concept. Obviously needs refining to bring this into standard library, but you can see that it's hardly any code to implement this.

I think the biggest question is how to enable this in a Go idiomatic fashion, especially through net/http. NSS uses environment variable SSLKEYLOGFILE for the file where to dump secrets.

As I understand the CLIENT_RANDOM based format is sufficient to cover everything, and I don't know if pre-1.8.0 Wireshark would be relevant for HTTP2 anyway.

I only demonstrated server handshake but client should be identical.

@joneskoo, I'd love to see this too. Please send a change once the Go 1.8 dev cycle opens after Go 1.7 is out in early August.

I've been playing around trying to get this to work locally. No luck yet.
There seem to be a couple supported formats.

Wet to API I believe AGL suggested a io.Writer in the tls.Context.

I'd love to play with a branch of you have one.

This change isn't suitable until we're in the 1.8 cycle, but we'll get something working for 1.8.

Would adding an io.Writer member to tls.Config work for everyone?

@joneskoo

@agl io.Writer works for me. I just finished trying out what it might look like; feel free to use or discard this implementation. Some trivial changes were needed in net/http as it does a shallow copy of the TLS config. Wonder what else. https://gist.github.com/joneskoo/254cd57e20acc7035d2c06658297b203

This is what I think it would look like for client and server:

I realize we're still waiting for the 1.8 to open, but this being open source, you can't stop me 🙈! But on all seriousness, I'll hold until 1.8 is open.

@joneskoo, please submit a CLA and send your change via Gerrit (which won't let you upload until you've done a CLA). We can't look at your code on Github until we know you've submitted a CLA.

@agl, I think we might want something a bit more generic than an io.Writer, which means we're locking ourselves into a format.

@bradfitz
Copy link
Contributor

Actually, an io.Writer sounds fine. If anybody wanted to do something fancier, they can supply an io.Writer which parses the NSS keylog format back out, which is trivial enough.

Contributor

@bradfitz If you wish to check out the change on https://github.com/joneskoo/http2-keylog I have signed the CLA and this repository is explicitly intended for submission to Go standard library when 1.8 opens. I need to find a slot to rebase and clean up for the Gerrit submission.

Can someone please explain what's the timeline going forward from this? When can I expect a review to happen and after that's all clear, how does the code actually end up in 1.8 development tree? The contributing doc doesn't really explain how review and merge works from a contributor's perspective, it only talks about the tools.

I've addressed Brad's suggestions already.

@bradfitz

LGTM. I'll just submit it for now. @agl can do another pass later.

@joneskoo
Copy link
Contributor

This should stay open until @agl gives this a look, right?

I'm expecting review comments to be on things I don't really know about. My change was "KISS", minimal changes.

  • TLS features, e.g. renegotiation; should the key be logged there as well? What's the proper place for the trigger?
  • Tests; I just looked at some existing tests and made the code reach the key logger in a trivial way; is this sufficient for standard library?

Sure, we can reopen.

The other thing I thought of after it was submitted was concurrency against the configured io.Writer in the presence of multiple connections. We probably just want some package-level mutex to guard all writes.

joneskoo commented Aug 28, 2016

Good point about concurrent use. There's already a private mutex for session ticket keys; that shouldn't be reused? https://golang.org/src/crypto/tls/common.go#L392

TODO

  • Does renegotiation needs special consideration? Now only handshakes are logged
  • Is test coverage sufficient? How to test better?
  • Protect against concurrent connections with same config

I think I'd make a new, explicit one. Can you send that change first?

@joneskoo
Copy link
Contributor

@bradfitz https://go-review.googlesource.com/29016 adds the mutex you suggested - should I also rename the existing "mutex" to "sessionTicketMutex"?

@joneskoo
Copy link
Contributor

I did a "find references" search for masterFromPreMasterSecret and both of the two usages (client and server handshake) have the keylog call. Renegotiation appears to be part of the same handshake.

Can someone confirm that those are indeed the only two places where we get a new master secret for a connection?

And finally my question whether the test coverage is in fact sufficient?

gopherbot pushed a commit that referenced this issue Sep 10, 2016
Concurrent use of tls.Config is allowed, and may lead to
KeyLogWriter being written to concurrently. Without a mutex
to protect it, corrupted output may occur. A mutex is added
for correctness.

The mutex is made global to save size of the config struct as
KeyLogWriter is rarely enabled.

Related to #13057.

It'll be in the release notes. Adding an Example_keyLogWriter would be nice, though. Want to send one? I don't care about it looking out of place. We need more examples.

@joneskoo
Copy link
Contributor

@bradfitz Done https://go-review.googlesource.com/29050

However since example is also a test, it fails because the master secrets are obviously unique for every connection and the one in the Output is not valid for any other execution. I expect this is addressed in code review.

I guess it's better to put this in crypto/tls anyway because the feature is really for any TLS, not just HTTP although that's probably what it's most useful with.

@bradfitz ping? I used httptest in the example now, I guess you're the expert?

There's two variants, PS2 and PS4. I wish it was a bit cleaner; https://github.com/joneskoo/http2-keylog/blob/master/h2keylog-client/client.go#L41-L51 captures it better in my opinion.

I'd prefer an example with a real-world net/http with http2 which the current PS4 doesn't really do, which I raised in the other issue. I would gladly welcome someone else giving it a try and taking over, continuing on my work. I don't know when I'll be able to work on this next, could be some time.

I think it's done. I think @joneskoo had questions about renegotiations, but I don't think we care. We can address that later if it comes up.

Add support for writing TLS client random and master secret
in NSS key log format.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Key_Log_Format

Normally this is enabled by a developer debugging TLS based
applications, especially HTTP/2, by setting the KeyLogWriter
to an open file. The keys negotiated in handshake are then
logged and can be used to decrypt TLS sessions e.g. in Wireshark.

Applications may choose to add support similar to NSS where this
is enabled by environment variable, but no such mechanism is
built in to Go. Instead each application must explicitly enable.

Fixes golang#13057.
