uTLS is a fork of "crypto/tls", which provides ClientHello fingerprinting resistance, low-level access to handshake, fake session tickets and some other features. Handshake is still performed by "crypto/tls", this library merely changes ClientHello part of it and provides low-level access.
Golang 1.19+ is required.

This is a fork of github.com/refraction-networking/utls
for https://github.com/1395173231/poe-openai-proxy/tls-client
.
I introduced some compatability breaks with the original utls
package in order to add some custom logic for my tls-client.
Note: Information provided below in this README.md could be obsolete.
- Read/write access to all bits of client hello message.
- Read access to fields of ClientHandshakeState, which, among other things, includes ServerHello and MasterSecret.
- Read keystream. Can be used, for example, to "write" something in ciphertext.
Golang's ClientHello has a very unique fingerprint, which especially sticks out on mobile clients, where Golang is not too popular yet. Some members of anti-censorship community are concerned that their tools could be trivially blocked based on ClientHello with relatively small collateral damage. There are multiple solutions to this issue.
It is highly recommended to use multiple fingeprints, including randomized ones to avoid relying on a single fingerprint. utls.Roller does this automatically.
Randomized Fingerprints are supposedly good at defeating blacklists, since those fingerprints have random ciphersuites and extensions in random order. Note that all used ciphersuites and extensions are fully supported by uTLS, which provides a solid moving target without any compatibility or parrot-is-dead attack risks.
But note that there's a small chance that generated fingerprint won't work, so you may want to keep generating until a working one is found, and then keep reusing the working fingerprint to avoid suspicious behavior of constantly changing fingerprints. utls.Roller reuses working fingerprint automatically.
To generate a randomized fingerprint, simply do:
uTlsConn := tls.UClient(tcpConn, &config, tls.HelloRandomized)
you can use helloRandomizedALPN
or helloRandomizedNoALPN
to ensure presence or absence of
ALPN(Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation) extension.
It is recommended, but certainly not required to include ALPN (or use helloRandomized which may or may not include ALPN).
If you do use ALPN, you will want to correctly handle potential application layer protocols (likely h2 or http/1.1).
// oldConn is an old connection that worked before, so we want to reuse it
// newConn is a new connection we'd like to establish
newConn := tls.UClient(tcpConn, &config, oldConn.ClientHelloID)
This package can be used to parrot ClientHello of popular browsers. There are some caveats to this parroting:
- We are forced to offer ciphersuites and tls extensions that are not supported by crypto/tls. This is not a problem, if you fully control the server and turn unsupported things off on server side.
- Parroting could be imperfect, and there is no parroting beyond ClientHello.

* Denotes very rough guesstimate of likelihood that unsupported things will get echoed back by the server in the wild,
visibly breaking the connection.
** No risk, if utls.EnableWeakCiphers()
is called prior to using it.
Does it really look like, say, Google Chrome with all the GREASE and stuff?
It LGTM, but please open up Wireshark and check. If you see something โ say something.
Aren't there side channels? Everybody knows that the
bird is a wordparrot is dead
There sure are. If you found one that approaches practicality at line speed โ please tell us.
However, there is a difference between this sort of parroting and techniques like SkypeMorth. Namely, TLS is highly standardized protocol, therefore simply not that many subtle things in TLS protocol could be different and/or suddenly change in one of mimicked implementation(potentially undermining the mimicry). It is possible that we have a distinguisher right now, but amount of those potential distinguishers is limited.
It is possible to create custom handshake by
- Use
HelloCustom
as an argument forUClient()
to get empty config - Fill tls header fields: UConn.Hello.{Random, CipherSuites, CompressionMethods}, if needed, or stick to defaults.
- Configure and add various TLS Extensions to UConn.Extensions: they will be marshaled in order.
- Set Session and SessionCache, as needed.
If you need to manually control all the bytes on the wire(certainly not recommended!), you can set UConn.HandshakeStateBuilt = true, and marshal clientHello into UConn.HandshakeState.Hello.raw yourself. In this case you will be responsible for modifying other parts of Config and ClientHelloMsg to reflect your setup and not confuse "crypto/tls", which will be processing response from server.
You can use a captured client hello to generate new ones that mimic/have the same properties as the original. The generated client hellos should look like they were generated from the same client software as the original fingerprinted bytes. In order to do this:
- Create a
ClientHelloSpec
from the raw bytes of the original client hello - Use
HelloCustom
as an argument forUClient()
to get empty config - Use
ApplyPreset
with the generatedClientHelloSpec
to set the appropriate connection properties
uConn := UClient(&net.TCPConn{}, nil, HelloCustom)
fingerprinter := &Fingerprinter{}
generatedSpec, err := fingerprinter.FingerprintClientHello(rawCapturedClientHelloBytes)
if err != nil {
panic("fingerprinting failed: %v", err)
}
if err := uConn.ApplyPreset(generatedSpec); err != nil {
panic("applying generated spec failed: %v", err)
}
The rawCapturedClientHelloBytes
should be the full tls record, including the record type/version/length header.
A simple wrapper, that allows to easily use multiple latest(auto-updated) fingerprints.
// NewRoller creates Roller object with default range of HelloIDs to cycle
// through until a working/unblocked one is found.
func NewRoller() (*Roller, error)
// Dial attempts to connect to given address using different HelloIDs.
// If a working HelloID is found, it is used again for subsequent Dials.
// If tcp connection fails or all HelloIDs are tried, returns with last error.
//
// Usage examples:
//
// Dial("tcp4", "google.com:443", "google.com")
// Dial("tcp", "10.23.144.22:443", "mywebserver.org")
func (c *Roller) Dial(network, addr, serverName string) (*UConn, error)
Fake session tickets is a very nifty trick that allows power users to hide parts of handshake, which may have some very fingerprintable features of handshake, and saves 1 RTT. Currently, there is a simple function to set session ticket to any desired state:
// If you want you session tickets to be reused - use same cache on following connections
func (uconn *UConn) SetSessionState(session *ClientSessionState)
Note that session tickets (fake ones or otherwise) are not reused.
To reuse tickets, create a shared cache and set it on current and further configs:
// If you want you session tickets to be reused - use same cache on following connections
func (uconn *UConn) SetSessionCache(cache ClientSessionCache)
If you want to add your own fake (placeholder, without added functionality) extension for mimicry purposes, you can embed *tls.GenericExtension
into your own struct and override Len()
and Read()
methods. For example, DelegatedCredentials extension can be implemented as follows:
const FakeDelegatedCredentials uint16 = 0x0022
type FakeDelegatedCredentialsExtension struct {
*tls.GenericExtension
SignatureAlgorithms []tls.SignatureScheme
}
func (e *FakeDelegatedCredentialsExtension) Len() int {
return 6 + 2*len(e.SignatureAlgorithms)
}
func (e *FakeDelegatedCredentialsExtension) Read(b []byte) (n int, err error) {
if len(b) < e.Len() {
return 0, io.ErrShortBuffer
}
offset := 0
appendUint16 := func(val uint16) {
b[offset] = byte(val >> 8)
b[offset+1] = byte(val & 0xff)
offset += 2
}
// Extension type
appendUint16(fakeDelegatedCredentials)
algosLength := 2 * len(e.SignatureAlgorithms)
// Extension data length
appendUint16(uint16(algosLength) + 2)
// Algorithms list length
appendUint16(uint16(algosLength))
// Algorithms list
for _, a := range e.SignatureAlgorithms {
appendUint16(uint16(a))
}
return e.Len(), io.EOF
}
Then it can be used just like normal extension:
&tls.ClientHelloSpec{
//...
Extensions: []tls.TLSExtension{
//...
&FakeDelegatedCredentialsExtension{
SignatureAlgorithms: []tls.SignatureScheme{
tls.ECDSAWithP256AndSHA256,
tls.ECDSAWithP384AndSHA384,
tls.ECDSAWithP521AndSHA512,
tls.ECDSAWithSHA1,
},
},
//...
}
//...
}
See full list of clientHelloID
values here.
There are different behaviors you can get, depending on your clientHelloID
:
utls.HelloRandomized
adds/reorders extensions, ciphersuites, etc. randomly.
HelloRandomized
adds ALPN in a percentage of cases, you may want to useHelloRandomizedALPN
orHelloRandomizedNoALPN
to choose specific behavior explicitly, as ALPN might affect application layer.utls.HelloGolang
HelloGolang will use default "crypto/tls" handshake marshaling codepath, which WILL overwrite your changes to Hello(Config, Session are fine). You might want to call BuildHandshakeState() before applying any changes. UConn.Extensions will be completely ignored.utls.HelloCustom
will prepare ClientHello with empty uconn.Extensions so you can fill it with TLSExtension's manually.- The rest will will parrot given browser. Such parrots include, for example:
utls.HelloChrome_Auto
- parrots recommended(usually latest) Google Chrome versionutls.HelloChrome_58
- parrots Google Chrome 58utls.HelloFirefox_Auto
- parrots recommended(usually latest) Firefox versionutls.HelloFirefox_55
- parrots Firefox 55
Find basic examples here.
Here's a more advanced example showing how to generate randomized ClientHello, modify generated ciphersuites a bit, and proceed with the handshake.
Here's how default "crypto/tls" is typically used:
dialConn, err := net.Dial("tcp", "172.217.11.46:443")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("net.Dial() failed: %+v\n", err)
return
}
config := tls.Config{ServerName: "www.google.com"}
tlsConn := tls.Client(dialConn, &config)
n, err = tlsConn.Write("Hello, World!")
//...
To start using using uTLS:
- Import this library (e.g.
import tls "github.com/refraction-networking/utls"
) - Pick the Client Hello ID
- Simply substitute
tlsConn := tls.Client(dialConn, &config)
withtlsConn := tls.UClient(dialConn, &config, tls.clientHelloID)
Some customizations(such as setting session ticket/clientHello) have easy-to-use functions for them. The idea is to make common manipulations easy:
cRandom := []byte{100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109,
110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119,
120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129,
130, 131}
tlsConn.SetClientRandom(cRandom)
masterSecret := make([]byte, 48)
copy(masterSecret, []byte("masterSecret is NOT sent over the wire")) // you may use it for real security
// Create a session ticket that wasn't actually issued by the server.
sessionState := utls.MakeClientSessionState(sessionTicket, uint16(tls.VersionTLS12),
tls.TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
masterSecret,
nil, nil)
tlsConn.SetSessionState(sessionState)
For other customizations there are following functions
// you can use this to build the state manually and change it
// for example use Randomized ClientHello, and add more extensions
func (uconn *UConn) BuildHandshakeState() error
// Then apply the changes and marshal final bytes, which will be sent
func (uconn *UConn) MarshalClientHello() error

The initial development of uTLS was completed during an internship at Google Jigsaw. This is not an official Google product.
