A Python command-line tool that decrypts and logs a running process's SSL/TLS traffic, mimicking Echo Mirage's SSL logging on Linux and macOS. It can print decrypted SSL reads/writes to the console or write them to a PCAP file.

Use cases

  • decrypt ssl traffic of a running process
  • log https requests made by a program to a pcap file
  • inspect what a binary sends over tls without a proxy
  • reverse engineer an application's encrypted network protocol
  • capture decrypted ssl payloads for security analysis

When to choose

  • you need to see plaintext SSL/TLS traffic of a specific local process on Linux or macOS
  • you want decrypted traffic saved as a PCAP for analysis in Wireshark
  • you need a lightweight scriptable alternative to Echo Mirage

When to avoid

  • you need to intercept traffic on Windows
  • you need a maintained tool with recent updates and broad TLS version support
  • you want system-wide traffic capture rather than per-process logging
  • you cannot run the target process with instrumentation (e.g., hardened or remote processes)
