Mozilla TLS Observatory

Want the WebUI? Check out Mozilla's Observatory !

Getting started

You can use the TLS Observatory to compare your site against the mozilla guidelines. It requires Golang 1.7+ to be installed:

$ go version
go version go1.7 linux/amd64
 
$ export GOPATH="$HOME/go"
$ mkdir $GOPATH
 
$ export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH

Then get the binary:

$ go get github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory/tlsobs

And scan using our hosted service:

$ tlsobs tls-observatory.services.mozilla.com
Scanning tls-observatory.services.mozilla.com (id 13528951)
Retrieving cached results from 20h33m1.379461888s ago. To run a new scan, use '-r'.

* Mozilla evaluation: modern
  - for modern level: consider adding ciphers ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305, ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305, ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384, ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256, ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256
  - for modern level: consider enabling OCSP stapling
  - for modern level: increase priority of ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 over ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
  - for modern level: fix ciphersuite ordering, use recommended modern ciphersuite
  - oldest clients: Firefox 27, Chrome 30, IE 11 on Windows 7, Edge 1, Opera 17, Safari 9, Android 5.0, Java 8
* Grade: A (93/100)

The analysis at the end tell you what need to be changed to reach the old, intermediate or modern level. We recommend to target the intermediate level by default, and modern if you don't care about old clients.

Using the tlsobs client from Docker

A docker container also exists that contains the CLI, API, Scanner and Runner. Fetch is from docker pull mozilla/tls-observatory.

$ docker pull mozilla/tls-observatory
$ docker run -it mozilla/tls-observatory tlsobs accounts.firefox.com

Developing

You can use the mozilla/tls-observatory docker container for development:

$ docker pull mozilla/tls-observatory
$ docker run -it mozilla/tls-observatory /bin/bash
root@05676e6789dd:~# cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory
root@05676e6789dd:/go/src/github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory# make

However, even with the docker container, you will need to setup your own postgresql database. See below.

To build a development environment from scratch, you will need Go 1.7 or above. You can set it up on your own machine or via the golang:1.7 Docker container.

Retrieve a copy of the source code using go get, to place it directly under $GOPATH/src/github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory, then use make to build all components.

$ docker run -it golang:1.7

root@c63f11b8852b:/go# go get github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory 
package github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory: no buildable Go source files in /go/src/github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory

root@c63f11b8852b:/go# cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory

root@c63f11b8852b:/go/src/github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory# make

make runs the tests and compiles the scanner, api, command line client and runner. The resulting binaries are placed under $GOPATH/bin.

Create the database

TLS Observatory uses PostgreSQL > 9.4. To create a database, use the schema in database/schema.sql.

postgres=# create database observatory;
CREATE DATABASE

postgres=# \c observatory
You are now connected to database "observatory" as user "postgres".

postgres=# \i /go/src/github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory/database/schema.sql 

This automatically creates all tables, indexes, users and grants to work with the default configuration.

Starting the API and Scanner

First symlink the configuration to /etc/observatory and the cipherscan executable to /opt/cipherscan, as follows:

root@c63f11b8852b:/# ln -s $GOPATH/src/github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory/conf /etc/tls-observatory
root@c63f11b8852b:/# ln -s $GOPATH/src/github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory/cipherscan /opt/cipherscan

Then start tlsobs-api and tlsobs-scanner. The API will listen on port 8083, on localhost (or 172.17.0.2 if you're running in Docker).

Run a scan locally

To run a scan using the local scanner, set the -observatory flag of the tlsobs client to use the local API, as follows:

$ tlsobs -observatory http://172.17.0.2:8083 ulfr.io

Configuration

tlsobs-api

Customize the configuration file under conf/api.cfg and using the following environment variables:

  • TLSOBS_API_ENABLE set to on or off to enable or disable the API

  • TLSOBS_POSTGRESDB is the name of the database (eg. observatory)
  • TLSOBS_POSTGRESUSER is the database user (eg. tlsobsapi)
  • TLSOBS_POSTGRESPASS is the database user password (eg. mysecretpassphrase)

tlsobs-scanner

Customize the configuration file under conf/scanner.cfg and using the following environment variables:

  • TLSOBS_SCANNER_ENABLE set to on or off to enable or disable the scabber
  • TLSOBS_POSTGRES is the hostname or IP of the database server (eg. mypostgresdb.example.net)
  • TLSOBS_POSTGRESDB is the name of the database (eg. observatory)
  • TLSOBS_POSTGRESUSER is the database user (eg. tlsobsscanner)
  • TLSOBS_POSTGRESPASS is the database user password (eg. mysecretpassphrase)

tlsobs-runner

Runs regular tests against target sites and sends notifications.

See conf/runnel.yaml for an example of configuration. Some configuration parameters can also be provided through environment variables:

  • TLSOBS_RUNNER_SMTP_HOST is the hostname of the smtp server (eg. mypostfix.example.net)
  • TLSOBS_RUNNER_SMTP_PORT is the port of the smtp server (eg. 587)

API Endpoints

POST /api/v1/scan

Schedule a scan of a given target.

$ curl -X POST 'https://tls-observatory.services.mozilla.com/api/v1/scan?target=ulfr.io&rescan=true'

Parameters:

  • target is the FQDN of the target site. eg. google.com. Do not use protocol handlers or query strings.
  • rescan asks for a rescan of the target when set to true.
  • params JSON object in which each key represents one of TLS Observatory's workers. The value under each key will be passed as the parameters to the corresponding worker. For example, {"ev-checker": {"oid": "foo"}} will pass {"oid": "foo"} to the ev-checker worker. The following workers accept parameters:
    • ev-checker: Expects a JSON object with the following keys:
      • oid: the oid of the EV policy to check
      • rootCertificate: the root certificate to check against, in PEM format

For example, with curl:

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8083/api/v1/scan?target=mozilla.org&rescan=true&params=%7B%0A%20%20%22ev-checker%22%3A%20%7B%0A%20%20%22rootcertificate%22%3A%20%22-----BEGIN%20CERTIFICATE-----%5CnMIIDxTCCAq2gAwIBAgIQAqxcJmoLQJuPC3nyrkYldzANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBs%5CnMQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzEVMBMGA1UEChMMRGlnaUNlcnQgSW5jMRkwFwYDVQQLExB3%5Cnd3cuZGlnaWNlcnQuY29tMSswKQYDVQQDEyJEaWdpQ2VydCBIaWdoIEFzc3VyYW5j%5CnZSBFViBSb290IENBMB4XDTA2MTExMDAwMDAwMFoXDTMxMTExMDAwMDAwMFowbDEL%5CnMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxFTATBgNVBAoTDERpZ2lDZXJ0IEluYzEZMBcGA1UECxMQd3d3%5CnLmRpZ2ljZXJ0LmNvbTErMCkGA1UEAxMiRGlnaUNlcnQgSGlnaCBBc3N1cmFuY2Ug%5CnRVYgUm9vdCBDQTCCASIwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADggEPADCCAQoCggEBAMbM5XPm%5Cn%2B9S75S0tMqbf5YE%2Fyc0lSbZxKsPVlDRnogocsF9ppkCxxLeyj9CYpKlBWTrT3JTW%5CnPNt0OKRKzE0lgvdKpVMSOO7zSW1xkX5jtqumX8OkhPhPYlG%2B%2BMXs2ziS4wblCJEM%5CnxChBVfvLWokVfnHoNb9Ncgk9vjo4UFt3MRuNs8ckRZqnrG0AFFoEt7oT61EKmEFB%5CnIk5lYYeBQVCmeVyJ3hlKV9Uu5l0cUyx%2BmM0aBhakaHPQNAQTXKFx01p8VdteZOE3%5CnhzBWBOURtCmAEvF5OYiiAhF8J2a3iLd48soKqDirCmTCv2ZdlYTBoSUeh10aUAsg%5CnEsxBu24LUTi4S8sCAwEAAaNjMGEwDgYDVR0PAQH%2FBAQDAgGGMA8GA1UdEwEB%2FwQF%5CnMAMBAf8wHQYDVR0OBBYEFLE%2Bw2kD%2BL9HAdSYJhoIAu9jZCvDMB8GA1UdIwQYMBaA%5CnFLE%2Bw2kD%2BL9HAdSYJhoIAu9jZCvDMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAA4IBAQAcGgaX3Nec%5CnnzyIZgYIVyHbIUf4KmeqvxgydkAQV8GK83rZEWWONfqe%2FEW1ntlMMUu4kehDLI6z%5CneM7b41N5cdblIZQB2lWHmiRk9opmzN6cN82oNLFpmyPInngiK3BD41VHMWEZ71jF%5CnhS9OMPagMRYjyOfiZRYzy78aG6A9%2BMpeizGLYAiJLQwGXFK3xPkKmNEVX58Svnw2%5CnYzi9RKR%2F5CYrCsSXaQ3pjOLAEFe4yHYSkVXySGnYvCoCWw9E1CAx2%2FS6cCZdkGCe%5CnvEsXCS%2B0yx5DaMkHJ8HSXPfqIbloEpw8nL%2Be%2FIBcm2PN7EeqJSdnoDfzAIJ9VNep%5Cn%2BOkuE6N36B9K%5Cn-----END%20CERTIFICATE-----%22%2C%0A%20%20%22oid%22%3A%20%222.16.840.1.114412.22.1%22%0A%7D%0A%7D"

Output: a json document containing the Scan ID.

Caching: When rescan is not true, if a scan of the target was done over the last 24 hours, the scan ID is returned. Use rescan=true to force a rescan within 24 hours of the previous scan.

Rate Limits: Each target can only be scanned every 3 minutes with rescan=true.

GET /api/v1/results

Retrieve scan results by its ID.

curl https://tls-observatory.services.mozilla.com/api/v1/results?id=12302333

Parameters:

  • id is the Scan ID

Output: a json document containing the scan results and the ID of the end-entity certificate.

GET /api/v1/certificate

Retrieve a certificate by its ID.

curl https://tls-observatory.services.mozilla.com/api/v1/certificate?id=1

Evaluate the quality of TLS configurations of top sites

This query uses the Cisco Umbrella ranking analyzer to retrieve the Mozilla evaluation of top sites.

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(target)), output->>'level' AS "Mozilla Configuration"
FROM scans
  INNER JOIN analysis ON (scans.id=analysis.scan_id)
WHERE has_tls=true
