snoopy

Overview

Snoopy is a tool for tracing and monitoring SSL/TLS connections in applications that use common SSL libraries. It leverages eBPF uprobes to hook into SSL functions, collecting metadata before encryption/decryption. This enables Snoopy to monitor SSL traffic without decryption.

Snoopy supports inspecting traffic from applications that use OpenSSL (libssl.so) or GnuTLS (libgnutls.so).

Building

Snoopy relies on gobpf, which are Go bindings for bcc. You will need to install libbcc for your specific kernel.

go build -o snoopy

Usage

Snoopy supports two optional flags, --json and --pid.

sudo ./snoopy --json --pid 1337

json: Print TLS information in JSON format.
pid: Only print TLS information from a specific process.

Example

sudo snoopy --json --pid 1716580

{
    "function": "SSL_READ",
    "process_name": "curl",
    "elapsed_time": 0.022584,
    "pid": 1716580,
    "tid": 1716580,
    "message_size": 1369,
    "result": 0,
    "tls_content": "106.8,\"High\":58335.1...."
}

This will print TLS information in JSON format only from process ID 1337. Not supplying either flag, Snoopy will visually display all intercepted SSL/TLS traffic from all processes that use the OpenSSL library.
