eCapture is an eBPF-based CLI tool that captures SSL/TLS plaintext traffic without needing CA certificates, supporting OpenSSL, LibreSSL, BoringSSL, GnuTLS, NSS, and Go TLS libraries. It also provides bash/zsh command auditing and MySQL query auditing on Linux and Android (x86_64/aarch64).

Use cases

  • capture https traffic plaintext without installing a CA certificate
  • debug tls encrypted traffic from curl or wget on linux
  • inspect ssl traffic on a rooted android device
  • audit bash and zsh commands executed on a host
  • capture mysql queries from a running mysqld process
  • capture plaintext from golang programs using crypto/tls
  • troubleshoot tls 1.3 and quic connections at the kernel level

When to choose

  • you need to see decrypted TLS traffic without CA cert installation or proxy configuration
  • you are doing security auditing or incident response on Linux/Android hosts
  • you need kernel-level capture of traffic from processes using various TLS libraries
  • you want to audit shell commands or database queries on a server

When to avoid

  • you are on Windows or macOS - it is unsupported
  • you lack root privileges or the required Linux capabilities
  • your kernel is older than 4.18 (x86_64) or 5.5 (aarch64) or lacks BTF/headers
  • you need a passive network tap that does not require privileged host access
