Net::SSLeay - Perl extension for using OpenSSL
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SSLeay qw(get_https post_https sslcat make_headers make_form); ($page) = get_https(www.bacus.pt, 443, /); # Case 1 ($page, $response, %reply_headers) = get_https(www.bacus.pt, 443, /, # Case 2 make_headers(User-Agent => Cryptozilla/5.0b1, Referer => https://www.bacus.pt )); ($page, $result, %headers) = # Case 2b = get_https(www.bacus.pt, 443, /protected.html, make_headers(Authorization => Basic .

DESCRIPTION
This module provides Perl bindings for libssl (an SSL/TLS API) and libcrypto (a cryptography API).
COMPATIBILITY
Net::SSLeay supports the following libssl implementations:
- Any stable release of OpenSSL https://www.openssl.org in the 0.9.8 - 1.1.1 branches, except for OpenSSL 0.9.8 - 0.9.8b.
- Any stable release of LibreSSL https://www.libressl.org in the 2.0 - 3.1 series.
Net::SSLeay may not function as expected with newer releases than the ones listed above due to libssl API incompatibilities, or, in the case of LibreSSL, because of deviations from the libssl API.
Net::SSLeay is only as secure as the underlying libssl implementation you use. Although Net::SSLeay maintains compatibility with old versions of OpenSSL and LibreSSL, it is strongly recommended that you use a version of OpenSSL or LibreSSL that is supported by the OpenSSL/LibreSSL developers and/or your operating system vendor. Many unsupported versions of OpenSSL and LibreSSL are known to contain severe security vulnerabilities. Refer to the OpenSSL Release Strategy https://www.openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html and LibreSSL Support Schedule https://www.libressl.org/releases.html for information on which versions are currently supported.
The libssl API has changed significantly since OpenSSL 0.9.8: hundreds of functions have been added, deprecated or removed in the intervening versions. Although this documentation lists all of the functions and constants that Net::SSLeay may expose, they will not be available for use if they are missing from the underlying libssl implementation. Refer to the compatibility notes in this documentation, as well as the OpenSSL/LibreSSL manual pages, for information on which OpenSSL/LibreSSL versions support each function or constant. At run-time, you can check whether a function or constant is exposed before calling it using the following convention:
if ( defined &Net::SSLeay::libssl_function ) { # libssl_function() (or SSL_libssl_function()) is available Net::SSLeay::libssl_function(…); }
OVERVIEW
Net::SSLeay module basically comprise of:
- High level functions for accessing web servers (by using HTTP/HTTPS)
- Low level API (mostly mapped 1:1 to openssl’s C functions)
- Convenience functions (related to low level API but with more perl friendly interface)
There is also a related module called Net::SSLeay::Handle included in this distribution that you might want to use instead. It has its own pod documentation.
High level functions for accessing web servers
This module offers some high level convenience functions for accessing
web pages on SSL servers (for symmetry, the same API is offered for
accessing http servers, too), an sslcat()
function for writing your
own clients, and finally access to the SSL api of the SSLeay/OpenSSL
package so you can write servers or clients for more complicated
applications.
For high level functions it is most convenient to import them into your main namespace as indicated in the synopsis.
Basic set of functions
- get_https
- post_https
- put_https
- head_https
- do_https
- sslcat
- https_cat
- make_form
- make_headers
Case 1 (in SYNOPSIS) demonstrates the typical invocation of get_https() to fetch an HTML page from secure server. The first argument provides the hostname or IP in dotted decimal notation of the remote server to contact. The second argument is the TCP port at the remote end (your own port is picked arbitrarily from high numbered ports as usual for TCP). The third argument is the URL of the page without the host name part. If in doubt consult the HTTP specifications at http://www.w3c.org.
Case 2 (in SYNOPSIS) demonstrates full fledged use of get_https()
.
As can be seen, get_https()
parses the response and response headers
and returns them as a list, which can be captured in a hash for later
reference. Also a fourth argument to get_https()
is used to insert
some additional headers in the request. make_headers()
is a function
that will convert a list or hash to such headers. By default
get_https()
supplies Host
(to make virtual hosting easy) and
Accept
(reportedly needed by IIS) headers.
Case 2b (in SYNOPSIS) demonstrates how to get a password protected page. Refer to the HTTP protocol specifications for further details (e.g. RFC-2617).
Case 3 (in SYNOPSIS) invokes post_https()
to submit a HTML/CGI form
to a secure server. The first four arguments are equal to get_https()
(note that the empty string () is passed as header argument). The fifth
argument is the contents of the form formatted according to CGI
specification. Do not post UTF-8 data as content: use utf8::downgrade
first. In this case the helper function make_https()
is used to do the
formatting, but you could pass any string. post_https()
automatically
adds Content-Type
and Content-Length
headers to the request.
Case 4 (in SYNOPSIS) shows the fundamental sslcat()
function
(inspired in spirit by the netcat
utility :-). It’s your swiss army
knife that allows you to easily contact servers, send some data, and
then get the response. You are responsible for formatting the data and
parsing the response - sslcat()
is just a transport.
Case 5 (in SYNOPSIS) is a full invocation of sslcat()
which allows
the return of errors as well as the server (peer) certificate.
The $trace
global variable can be used to control the verbosity of the
high level functions. Level 0 guarantees silence, level 1 (the default)
only emits error messages.
Alternate versions of high-level API
- get_https3
- post_https3
- put_https3
- get_https4
- post_https4
- put_https4
The above mentioned functions actually return the response headers as a list, which only gets converted to hash upon assignment (this assignment looses information if the same header occurs twice, as may be the case with cookies). There are also other variants of the functions that return unprocessed headers and that return a reference to a hash.
($page, $response, @headers) = get_https(www.bacus.pt, 443, /); for ($i = 0; $i < $#headers; $i+=2) { print “$headers[$i] = ” . $headers[$i+1] . “\n”; } ($page, $response, $headers, $server_cert) = get_https3(www.bacus.pt, 443, /); print “$headers\n”; ($page, $response, $headers_ref) = get_https4(www.bacus.pt, 443, /); for $k (sort keys %{$headers_ref}) { for $v (@{$$headers_ref{$k}}) { print “$k = $v\n”; } }
All of the above code fragments accomplish the same thing: display all values of all headers. The API functions ending in 3 return the headers simply as a scalar string and it is up to the application to split them up. The functions ending in 4 return a reference to a hash of arrays (see perlref and perllol if you are not familiar with complex perl data structures). To access a single value of such a header hash you would do something like
print $$headers_ref{COOKIE}[0];
Variants 3 and 4 also allow you to discover the server certificate in case you would like to store or display it, e.g.
($p, $resp, $hdrs, $server_cert) = get_https3(www.bacus.pt, 443, /); if (!defined($server_cert) || ($server_cert == 0)) { warn “Subject Name: undefined, Issuer Name: undefined”; } else { warn Subject Name: . Net::SSLeay::X509_NAME_oneline( Net::SSLeay::X509_get_subject_name($server_cert)) . Issuer Name: . Net::SSLeay::X509_NAME_oneline( Net::SSLeay::X509_get_issuer_name($server_cert)); }
Beware that this method only allows after the fact verification of the
certificate: by the time get_https3()
has returned the https request
has already been sent to the server, whether you decide to trust it or
not. To do the verification correctly you must either employ the OpenSSL
certificate verification framework or use the lower level API to first
connect and verify the certificate and only then send the http data. See
the implementation of ds_https3()
for guidance on how to do this.
Using client certificates
Secure web communications are encrypted using symmetric crypto keys exchanged using encryption based on the certificate of the server. Therefore in all SSL connections the server must have a certificate. This serves both to authenticate the server to the clients and to perform the key exchange.
Sometimes it is necessary to authenticate the client as well. Two options are available: HTTP basic authentication and a client side certificate. The basic authentication over HTTPS is actually quite safe because HTTPS guarantees that the password will not travel in the clear. Never-the-less, problems like easily guessable passwords remain. The client certificate method involves authentication of the client at the SSL level using a certificate. For this to work, both the client and the server have certificates (which typically are different) and private keys.
The API functions outlined above accept additional arguments that allow one to supply the client side certificate and key files. The format of these files is the same as used for server certificates and the caveat about encrypting private keys applies.
($page, $result, %headers) = # 2c = get_https(www.bacus.pt, 443, /protected.html, make_headers(Authorization => Basic . MIME::Base64::encode(“$user:$pass”,)), , $mime_type6, $path_to_crt7, $path_to_key8); ($page, $response, %reply_headers) = post_https(www.bacus.pt, 443, /foo.cgi, # 3b make_headers(Authorization => Basic . MIME::Base64::encode(“$user:$pass”,)), make_form(OK => 1, name => Sampo), $mime_type6, $path_to_crt7, $path_to_key8);
Case 2c (in SYNOPSIS) demonstrates getting a password protected page that also requires a client certificate, i.e. it is possible to use both authentication methods simultaneously.
Case 3b (in SYNOPSIS) is a full blown POST to a secure server that requires both password authentication and a client certificate, just like in case 2c.
Note: The client will not send a certificate unless the server requests
one. This is typically achieved by setting the verify mode to
VERIFY_PEER
on the server:
Net::SSLeay::set_verify(ssl, Net::SSLeay::VERIFY_PEER, 0);
See perldoc ~openssl/doc/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_verify.pod
for a full
description.
Working through a web proxy
- set_proxy
Net::SSLeay
can use a web proxy to make its connections. You need to
first set the proxy host and port using set_proxy()
and then just use
the normal API functions, e.g:
Net::SSLeay::set_proxy(gateway.myorg.com, 8080); ($page) = get_https(www.bacus.pt, 443, /);
If your proxy requires authentication, you can supply a username and password as well
Net::SSLeay::set_proxy(gateway.myorg.com, 8080, joe, salainen); ($page, $result, %headers) = = get_https(www.bacus.pt, 443, /protected.html, make_headers(Authorization => Basic . MIME::Base64::encode(“susie:pass”,)) );
This example demonstrates the case where we authenticate to the proxy as
"joe"
and to the final web server as "susie"
. Proxy authentication
requires the MIME::Base64
module to work.
HTTP (without S) API
- get_http
- post_http
- tcpcat
- get_httpx
- post_httpx
- tcpxcat
Over the years it has become clear that it would be convenient to use
the light-weight flavour API of Net::SSLeay
for normal HTTP as well
(see LWP
for the heavy-weight object-oriented approach). In fact it
would be nice to be able to flip https on and off on the fly. Thus
regular HTTP support was evolved.
use Net::SSLeay qw(get_http post_http tcpcat get_httpx post_httpx tcpxcat make_headers make_form); ($page, $result, %headers) = get_http(www.bacus.pt, 443, /protected.html, make_headers(Authorization => Basic . MIME::Base64::encode(“$user:$pass”,)) ); ($page, $response, %reply_headers) = post_http(www.bacus.pt, 443, /foo.cgi, , make_form(OK => 1, name => Sampo )); ($reply, $err) = tcpcat($host, $port, $request); ($page, $result, %headers) = get_httpx($usessl, www.bacus.pt, 443, /protected.html, make_headers(Authorization => Basic . MIME::Base64::encode(“$user:$pass”,)) ); ($page, $response, %reply_headers) = post_httpx($usessl, www.bacus.pt, 443, /foo.cgi, , make_form(OK => 1, name => Sampo )); ($reply, $err, $server_cert) = tcpxcat($usessl, $host, $port, $request);
As can be seen, the "x"
family of APIs takes as the first argument a
flag which indicates whether SSL is used or not.
Certificate verification and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs)
OpenSSL supports the ability to verify peer certificates. It can also optionally check the peer certificate against a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) from the certificates issuer. A CRL is a file, created by the certificate issuer that lists all the certificates that it previously signed, but which it now revokes. CRLs are in PEM format.
You can enable Net::SSLeay CRL
checking like this:
&Net::SSLeay::X509_STORE_set_flags (&Net::SSLeay::CTX_get_cert_store($ssl), &Net::SSLeay::X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK);
After setting this flag, if OpenSSL checks a peer’s certificate, then it
will attempt to find a CRL for the issuer. It does this by looking for a
specially named file in the search directory specified by
CTX_load_verify_locations. CRL files are named with the hash of the
issuer’s subject name, followed by .r0
, .r1
etc. For example
ab1331b2.r0
, ab1331b2.r1
. It will read all the .r files for the
issuer, and then check for a revocation of the peer certificate in all
of them. (You can also force it to look in a specific named CRL file.,
see below). You can find out the hash of the issuer subject name in a
CRL with
openssl crl -in crl.pem -hash -noout
If the peer certificate does not pass the revocation list, or if no CRL is found, then the handshaking fails with an error.
You can also force OpenSSL to look for CRLs in one or more arbitrarily named files.
my $bio = Net::SSLeay::BIO_new_file($crlfilename, r); my $crl = Net::SSLeay::PEM_read_bio_X509_CRL($bio); if ($crl) { Net::SSLeay::X509_STORE_add_crl( Net::SSLeay::CTX_get_cert_store($ssl, $crl) ); } else { error reading CRL…. }
Usually the URLs where you can download the CRLs is contained in the certificate itself and you can extract them with
my @url = Net::SSLeay::P_X509_get_crl_distribution_points($cert)
But there is no automatic downloading of the CRLs and often these CRLs are too huge to just download them to verify a single certificate. Also, these CRLs are often in DER format which you need to convert to PEM before you can use it:
openssl crl -in crl.der -inform der -out crl.pem
So as an alternative for faster and timely revocation checks you better use the Online Status Revocation Protocol (OCSP).
Certificate verification and Online Status Revocation Protocol (OCSP)
While checking for revoked certificates is possible and fast with Certificate Revocation Lists, you need to download the complete and often huge list before you can verify a single certificate.
A faster way is to ask the CA to check the revocation of just a single or a few certificates using OCSP. Basically you generate for each certificate an OCSP_CERTID based on the certificate itself and its issuer, put the ids togetether into an OCSP_REQUEST and send the request to the URL given in the certificate.
As a result you get back an OCSP_RESPONSE and need to check the status of the response, check that it is valid (e.g. signed by the CA) and finally extract the information about each OCSP_CERTID to find out if the certificate is still valid or got revoked.
With Net::SSLeay this can be done like this:
get_peer_cert_chain. This will croak if # - one tries to make an
OCSP_CERTID for a self-signed certificate # - the issuer of the
certificate cannot be found in the SSL objects # store, nor in the
current certificate chain my $cert =
Net::SSLeay::get_peer_certificate($ssl); my $id = eval {
Net::SSLeay::OCSP_cert2ids($ssl,$cert) }; die “failed to make
OCSP_CERTID: $@” if $@; # create OCSP_REQUEST from id(s) # Multiple can
be put into the same request, if the same OCSP responder # is
responsible for them. my $req = Net::SSLeay::OCSP_ids2req($id); #
determine URI of OCSP responder my $uri =
Net::SSLeay::P_X509_get_ocsp_uri($cert); # Send stringified OCSP_REQUEST
with POST to $uri. # We can ignore certificate verification for https,
because the OCSP # response itself is signed. my $ua =
:Tiny->new(verify_SSL > 0); my $res = $ua->request( POST,$uri, {
headers => { Content-type => application/ocsp-request }, content =>
Net::SSLeay::i2d_OCSP_REQUEST($req) }); my $content = $res &&
$res->{success} && $res->{content} or die "query failed"; # Extract
OCSP_RESPONSE. # this will croak if the string is not an OCSP_RESPONSE
my $resp = eval { Net::SSLeay::d2i_OCSP_RESPONSE($content) }; # Check
status of response. my $status =
Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_status($resp); if ($status !
Net::SSLeay::OCSP_RESPONSE_STATUS_SUCCESSFUL()) die “OCSP response
failed: ”. Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_status_str($status); } # Verify
signature of response and if nonce matches request. # This will croak if
there is a nonce in the response, but it does not match # the request.
It will return false if the signature could not be verified, # in which
case details can be retrieved with Net::SSLeay::ERR_get_error. # It will
not complain if the response does not contain a nonce, which is #
usually the case with pre-signed responses. if ( ! eval {
Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_verify($ssl,$resp,$req) }) { die “OCSP
response verification failed”; } # Extract information from
OCSP_RESPONSE for each of the ids. # If called in scalar context it will
return the time (as time_t), when the # next update is due (minimum of
all successful responses inside $resp). It # will croak on the following
problems: # - response is expired or not yet valid # - no response for
given OCSP_CERTID # - certificate status is not good (e.g. revoked or
unknown) if ( my $nextupd = eval {
Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_results($resp,$id) }) { warn “certificate is
valid, next update in ”. ($nextupd-time()).“ seconds\n”; } else { die
“certificate is not valid: $@”; } # But in array context it will return
detailed information about each given # OCSP_CERTID instead croaking on
errors: # if no @ids are given it will return information about all
single responses # in the OCSP_RESPONSE my @results =
Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_results($resp,@ids); for my $r (@results) {
print Dumper($r); # @results are in the same order as the @ids and
contain: # $r->[0] - OCSP_CERTID # $r->[1] - undef if no error
(certificate good) OR error message as string # $r->[2] - hash with
details: # thisUpdate - time_t of this single response # nextUpdate -
time_t when update is expected # statusType - integer: #
V_OCSP_CERTSTATUS_GOOD(0) # V_OCSP_CERTSTATUS_REVOKED(1) #
V_OCSP_CERTSTATUS_UNKNOWN(2) # revocationTime - time_t (only if revoked)
reason as string (only if revoked) }
To further speed up certificate revocation checking one can use a TLS extension to instruct the server to staple the OCSP response:
Net::SSLeay::set_tlsext_status_type($ssl, Net::SSLeay::TLSEXT_STATUSTYPE_ocsp()); # setup callback to verify OCSP response my $cert_valid = undef; Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb($context,sub { my ($ssl,$resp) = @_; if (!$resp) { # Lots of servers dont return an OCSP response. # In this case we must check the OCSP status outside the SSL # handshake. warn “server did not return stapled OCSP response\n”; return 1; } # verify status my $status = Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_status($resp); if ($status != Net::SSLeay::OCSP_RESPONSE_STATUS_SUCCESSFUL()) { warn “OCSP response failure: $status\n”; return 1; } # verify signature - we have no OCSP_REQUEST here to check nonce if (!eval { Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_verify($ssl,$resp) }) { warn “OCSP response verify failed\n”; return 1; } # check if the certificate is valid # we should check here against the peer_certificate my $cert = Net::SSLeay::get_peer_certificate(); my $certid = eval { Net::SSLeay::OCSP_cert2ids($ssl,$cert) } or do { warn “cannot get certid from cert: $@”; $cert_valid = -1; return 1; }; if ( $nextupd = eval { Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_results($resp,$certid) }) { warn “certificate not revoked\n”; $cert_valid = 1; } else { warn “certificate not valid: $@”; $cert_valid = 0; } }); # do SSL handshake here …. # check if certificate revocation was checked already if ( ! defined $cert_valid) {
} elsif ( ! $cert_valid ) { die “certificate not valid - closing SSL connection”; } elsif ( $cert_valid<0 ) { die “cannot verify certificate revocation - self-signed ?”; } else { # everything fine … }
Using Net::SSLeay in multi-threaded applications
IMPORTANT: versions 1.42 or earlier are not thread-safe!
Net::SSLeay module implements all necessary stuff to be ready for multi-threaded environment - it requires openssl-0.9.7 or newer. The implementation fully follows thread safety related requirements of openssl library(see http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/threads.html).
If you are about to use Net::SSLeay (or any other module based on Net::SSLeay) in multi-threaded perl application it is recommended to follow this best-practice:
Initialization
Load and initialize Net::SSLeay module in the main thread:
use threads; use Net::SSLeay; Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings(); Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms(); Net::SSLeay::randomize(); sub do_master_job { #… call whatever from Net::SSLeay } sub do_worker_job { #… call whatever from Net::SSLeay } #start threads my $master = threads->new(\&do_master_job, param1, param2); my @workers = threads->new(\&do_worker_job, arg1, arg2) for (1..10); #waiting for all threads to finish $_->join() for (threads->list);
NOTE: Openssl’s int SSL_library_init(void)
function (which is also
aliased as SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms
, OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms
and
add_ssl_algorithms
) is not re-entrant and multiple calls can cause a
crash in threaded application. Net::SSLeay implements flags preventing
repeated calls to this function, therefore even multiple initialization
via Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms() should work without
trouble.
Using callbacks
Do not use callbacks across threads (the module blocks cross-thread callback operations and throws a warning). Always do the callback setup, callback use and callback destruction within the same thread.
Using openssl elements
All openssl elements (X509, SSL_CTX, …) can be directly passed between threads.
use threads; use Net::SSLeay; Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings(); Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms(); Net::SSLeay::randomize(); sub do_job { my $context = shift; Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_default_passwd_cb($context, sub { “secret” }); #… } my $c = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new(); threads->create(\&do_job, $c);
Or:
use threads; use Net::SSLeay; my $context; #does not need to be shared Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings(); Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms(); Net::SSLeay::randomize(); sub do_job { Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_default_passwd_cb($context, sub { “secret” }); #… } $context = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new(); threads->create(\&do_job);
Using other perl modules based on Net::SSLeay
It should be fine to use any other module based on Net::SSLeay (like
IO::Socket::SSL) in multi-threaded applications. It is generally
recommended to do any global initialization of such a module in the main
thread before calling threads->new(..)
or threads->create(..)
but it
might differ module by module.
To be safe you can load and init Net::SSLeay explicitly in the main thread:
use Net::SSLeay; use Other::SSLeay::Based::Module; Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings(); Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms(); Net::SSLeay::randomize();
Or even safer:
use Net::SSLeay; use Other::SSLeay::Based::Module; BEGIN { Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings(); Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms(); Net::SSLeay::randomize(); }
Combining Net::SSLeay with other modules linked with openssl
BEWARE: This might be a big trouble! This is not guaranteed be thread-safe!
There are many other (XS) modules linked directly to openssl library (like Crypt::SSLeay).
As it is expected that also another module will call
SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms
at some point we have again a trouble with
multiple openssl initialization by Net::SSLeay and another module.
As you can expect Net::SSLeay is not able to avoid multiple initialization of openssl library called by another module, thus you have to handle this on your own (in some cases it might not be possible at all to avoid this).
Threading with get_https and friends
The convenience functions get_https, post_https etc all initialize the SSL library by calling Net::SSLeay::initialize which does the conventional library initialization:
Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings(); Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms(); Net::SSLeay::randomize();
Net::SSLeay::initialize initializes the SSL library at most once. You can override the Net::SSLeay::initialize function if you desire some other type of initialization behaviour by get_https and friends. You can call Net::SSLeay::initialize from your own code if you desire this conventional library initialization.
Convenience routines
To be used with Low level API
Net::SSLeay::randomize($rn_seed_file,$additional_seed); Net::SSLeay::set_cert_and_key($ctx, $cert_path, $key_path); $cert = Net::SSLeay::dump_peer_certificate($ssl); Net::SSLeay::ssl_write_all($ssl, $message) or die “ssl write failure”; $got = Net::SSLeay::ssl_read_all($ssl) or die “ssl read failure”; $got = Net::SSLeay::ssl_read_CRLF($ssl [, $max_length]); $got = Net::SSLeay::ssl_read_until($ssl [, $delimit [, $max_length]]); Net::SSLeay::ssl_write_CRLF($ssl, $message);
- randomize seeds the openssl PRNG with
/dev/urandom
(see the top ofSSLeay.pm
for how to change or configure this) and optionally with user provided data. It is very important to properly seed your random numbers, so do not forget to call this. The high level API functions automatically callrandomize()
so it is not needed with them. See also caveats. - set_cert_and_key takes two file names as arguments and sets the certificate and private key to those. This can be used to set either server certificates or client certificates.
- dump_peer_certificate allows you to get a plaintext description of the certificate the peer (usually the server) presented to us.
- ssl_read_all see ssl_write_all (below)
- ssl_write_all
ssl_read_all()
andssl_write_all()
provide true blocking semantics for these operations (see limitation, below, for explanation). These are much preferred to the low level API equivalents (which implement BSD blocking semantics). The message argument tossl_write_all()
can be a reference. This is helpful to avoid unnecessary copying when writing something big, e.g: $data = A x 1000000000; Net::SSLeay::ssl_write_all($ssl, \$data) or die “ssl write failed”; - ssl_read_CRLF uses
ssl_read_all()
to read in a line terminated with a carriage return followed by a linefeed (CRLF). The CRLF is included in the returned scalar. - ssl_read_until uses
ssl_read_all()
to read from the SSL input stream until it encounters a programmer specified delimiter. If the delimiter is undefined,$/
is used. If$/
is undefined,\n
is used. One can optionally set a maximum length of bytes to read from the SSL input stream. - ssl_write_CRLF writes
$message
and appends CRLF to the SSL output stream.
Initialization
In order to use the low level API you should start your programs with the following incantation:
use Net::SSLeay qw(die_now die_if_ssl_error); Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings(); Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms(); # Important! Net::SSLeay::ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(); # If you want built-in engines Net::SSLeay::ENGINE_register_all_complete(); # If you want built-in engines Net::SSLeay::randomize();
Error handling functions
I can not emphasize the need to check for error enough. Use these functions even in the most simple programs, they will reduce debugging time greatly. Do not ask questions on the mailing list without having first sprinkled these in your code.
- die_now
- die_if_ssl_error
die_now()
anddie_if_ssl_error()
are used to conveniently print the SSLeay error stack when something goes wrong: Net::SSLeay::connect(\(ssl) or die_now("Failed SSL connect (\)!)“); Net::SSLeay::write(\(ssl, "foo") or die_if_ssl_error("SSL write (\)!)”); - print_errs You can also use
Net::SSLeay::print_errs()
to dump the error stack without exiting the program. As can be seen, your code becomes much more readable if you import the error reporting functions into your main name space.
Sockets
Perl uses file handles for all I/O. While SSLeay has a quite flexible
BIO mechanism and perl has an evolved PerlIO mechanism, this module
still sticks to using file descriptors. Thus to attach SSLeay to a
socket you should use fileno()
to extract the underlying file
descriptor:
Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, fileno(S)); # Must use fileno
You should also set $|
to 1 to eliminate STDIO buffering so you do not
get confused if you use perl I/O functions to manipulate your socket
handle.
If you need to select(2)
on the socket, go right ahead, but be warned
that OpenSSL does some internal buffering so SSL_read does not always
return data even if the socket selected for reading (just keep on
selecting and trying to read). Net::SSLeay
is no different from the C
language OpenSSL in this respect.
Callbacks
You can establish a per-context verify callback function something like this:
sub verify { my ($ok, $x509_store_ctx) = @_; print “Verifying certificate…\n”; … return $ok; }
It is used like this:
Net::SSLeay::set_verify ($ssl, Net::SSLeay::VERIFY_PEER, \&verify);
Per-context callbacks for decrypting private keys are implemented.
Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_default_passwd_cb($ctx, sub { “top-secret” }); Net::SSLeay::CTX_use_PrivateKey_file($ctx, “key.pem”, Net::SSLeay::FILETYPE_PEM) or die “Error reading private key”; Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_default_passwd_cb($ctx, undef);
If Hello Extensions are supported by your OpenSSL, a session secret callback can be set up to be called when a session secret is set by openssl.
Establish it like this: Net::SSLeay::set_session_secret_cb($ssl,
\&session_secret_cb, $somedata
);
It will be called like this:
sub session_secret_cb { my ($secret, \@cipherlist, \$preferredcipher, $somedata) = @_; }
No other callbacks are implemented. You do not need to use any callback for simple (i.e. normal) cases where the SSLeay built-in verify mechanism satisfies your needs.
It is required to reset these callbacks to undef immediately after use to prevent memory leaks, thread safety problems and crashes on exit that can occur if different threads set different callbacks.
If you want to use callback stuff, see examples/callback.pl! It’s the only one I am able to make work reliably.
Low level API
In addition to the high level functions outlined above, this module contains straight-forward access to CRYPTO and SSL parts of OpenSSL C API.
See the *.h
headers from OpenSSL C distribution for a list of low
level SSLeay functions to call (check SSLeay.xs to see if some function
has been implemented). The module strips the initial "SSL_"
off of the
SSLeay names. Generally you should use Net::SSLeay::
in its place.
Note that some functions are prefixed with "P_"
- these are very close
to the original API however contain some kind of a wrapper making its
interface more perl friendly.
For example:
In C:
#include <ssl.h> err = SSL_set_verify (ssl, SSL_VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE, &your_call_back_here);
In Perl:
use Net::SSLeay; $err = Net::SSLeay::set_verify ($ssl, Net::SSLeay::VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE, \&your_call_back_here);
If the function does not start with SSL_
you should use the full
function name, e.g.:
$err = Net::SSLeay::ERR_get_error;
The following new functions behave in perlish way:
$got = Net::SSLeay::read($ssl); # Performs SSL_read, but returns $got # resized according to data received. # Returns undef on failure. Net::SSLeay::write($ssl, $foo) || die; # Performs SSL_write, but automatically # figures out the size of $foo

return value The callback function will be called like:
getkey($data,[$key_name]) -> ($key,$current_key_name) #
$data
is the data passed to set_session_secret_cb #$key_name
is the name of the key OpenSSL has extracted from the session ticket #$key
is the requested key for ticket encryption + HMAC #$current_key_name
is the name for the currently valid key OpenSSL will call the function without a key name if it generates a new ticket. It then needs the callback to return the encryption+HMAC key and an identifier (key name) for this key. When OpenSSL gets a session ticket from the client it extracts the key name and calls the callback with this name as argument. It then expects the callback to return the encryption+HMAC key matching the requested key name and and also the key name which should be used at the moment. If the requested key name and the returned key name differ it means that this session ticket was created with an expired key and need to be renewed. In this case OpenSSL will call the callback again with no key name to create a new session ticket based on the old one. The key must be at least 32 byte of random data which can be created with RAND_bytes. Internally the first 16 byte are used as key in AES-128 encryption while the next 16 byte are used for the SHA-256 HMAC. The key name are binary data and must be exactly 16 byte long. Example: Net::SSLeay::RAND_bytes(my $oldkey,32); Net::SSLeay::RAND_bytes(my $newkey,32); my $oldkey_name = pack(“a16”,oldsecret); my $newkey_name = pack(“a16”,newsecret); my @keys = ( [ $newkey_name, $newkey ], # current active key [ $oldkey_name, $oldkey ], # already expired ); Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_getkey_cb($server2->_ctx, sub { my ($mykeys,$name) = @_; # return (current_key, current_key_name) if no name given return ($mykeys->[0][1],$mykeys->[0][0]) if ! $name; # return (matching_key, current_key_name) if we find a key matching # the given name for(my $i = 0; $i<@$mykeys; $i++) { next if $name ne $mykeys->[$i][0]; return ($mykeys->[$i][1],$mykeys->[0][0]); } # no matching key found return; },\@keys); This function is based on the OpenSSL function SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_cb but provides a simpler to use interface.

### client side use Net::SSLeay; use IO::Socket::INET; Net::SSLeay::initialize(); my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>encrypted.google.com:443) or die; my $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_tlsv1_new() or die; Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL); Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_next_proto_select_cb($ctx, [http1.1,spdy/2]); my $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx) or die; Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, fileno($sock)) or die; Net::SSLeay::connect($ssl); warn “client:negotiated=”,Net::SSLeay::P_next_proto_negotiated($ssl), “\n”; warn “client:last_status=”, Net::SSLeay::P_next_proto_last_status($ssl), “\n”; ### server side use Net::SSLeay; use IO::Socket::INET; Net::SSLeay::initialize(); my $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_tlsv1_new() or die; Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL); Net::SSLeay::set_cert_and_key($ctx, “cert.pem”, “key.pem”); Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_next_protos_advertised_cb($ctx, [spdy/2,http1.1]); my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalAddr=>localhost, LocalPort=>5443, Proto=>tcp, Listen=>20) or die; while (1) { my $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx); warn(“server:waiting for incoming connection…\n”); my $fd = $sock->accept(); Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, $fd->fileno); Net::SSLeay::accept($ssl); warn “server:negotiated=”,Net::SSLeay::P_next_proto_negotiated($ssl),“\n”; my $got = Net::SSLeay::read($ssl); Net::SSLeay::ssl_write_all($ssl, “length=”.length($got)); Net::SSLeay::free($ssl); $fd->close(); } # check with: openssl s_client -connect localhost:5443 -nextprotoneg http/1.1,spdy/2
Please note that the selection (negotiation) is performed by client side, the server side simply advertise the list of supported protocols.
Advanced approach allows you to implement your own negotiation algorithm.

Low level API: ALPN (application layer protocol negotiation) related functions
Application protocol can be negotiated via two different mechanisms employing two different TLS extensions: NPN (obsolete) and ALPN (recommended).
The API is rather similar, with slight differences reflecting protocol specifics. In particular, with ALPN the protocol negotiation takes place on server, while with NPN the client implements the protocol negotiation logic.
With ALPN, the most basic implementation looks like this:
### client side use Net::SSLeay; use IO::Socket::INET; Net::SSLeay::initialize(); my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>encrypted.google.com:443) or die; my $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_tlsv1_new() or die; Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL); Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_alpn_protos($ctx, [http/1.1, http/2.0, spdy/3]); my $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx) or die; Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, fileno($sock)) or die; Net::SSLeay::connect($ssl); warn “client:selected=”,Net::SSLeay::P_alpn_selected($ssl), “\n”; ### server side use Net::SSLeay; use IO::Socket::INET; Net::SSLeay::initialize(); my $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_tlsv1_new() or die; Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL); Net::SSLeay::set_cert_and_key($ctx, “cert.pem”, “key.pem”); Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_alpn_select_cb($ctx, [http/1.1, http/2.0, spdy/3]); my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalAddr=>localhost, LocalPort=>5443, Proto=>tcp, Listen=>20) or die; while (1) { my $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx); warn(“server:waiting for incoming connection…\n”); my $fd = $sock->accept(); Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, $fd->fileno); Net::SSLeay::accept($ssl); warn “server:selected=”,Net::SSLeay::P_alpn_selected($ssl),“\n”; my $got = Net::SSLeay::read($ssl); Net::SSLeay::ssl_write_all($ssl, “length=”.length($got)); Net::SSLeay::free($ssl); $fd->close(); } # check with: openssl s_client -connect localhost:5443 -alpn spdy/3,http/1.1

Detection of ALPN support (works even in older Net::SSLeay versions):
use Net::SSLeay; if (exists &Net::SSLeay::P_alpn_selected) { # do ALPN stuff }
- CTX_set_alpn_select_cb COMPATIBILITY: not available in Net-SSLeay-1.55 and before; requires at least openssl-1.0.2 NOTE: You need CTX_set_alpn_select_cb on server side of TLS connection. Simple usage - in this case a common negotiation algorithm (as implemented by openssl’s function SSL_select_next_proto) is used. $rv = Net::SSleay::CTX_set_alpn_select_cb($ctx, $arrayref); # $ctx - value corresponding to openssls SSL_CTX structure # $arrayref - list of accepted protocols - e.g. [http/2.0, http/1.1, spdy/3] # # returns: 0 on success, 1 on failure Advanced usage (you probably do not need this): $rv = Net::SSleay::CTX_set_alpn_select_cb($ctx, $perl_callback_function, $callback_data); # $ctx - value corresponding to openssls SSL_CTX structure # $perl_callback_function - reference to perl function # $callback_data - [optional] data to passed to callback function when invoked # # returns: 0 on success, 1 on failure # where callback function looks like sub alpn_select_cb_invoke { my ($ssl, $arrayref_proto_list_advertised_by_client, $callback_data) = @_; # … if ($negotiated) { return http/2.0; } else { return undef; } } To undefine/clear this callback use: Net::SSleay::CTX_set_alpn_select_cb($ctx, undef);
- set_alpn_protos COMPATIBILITY: not available in Net-SSLeay-1.55 and before; requires at least openssl-1.0.2 NOTE: You need set_alpn_protos on client side of TLS connection. This adds list of supported application layer protocols to ClientHello message sent by a client. It advertises the enumeration of supported protocols: Net::SSLeay::set_alpn_protos($ssl, [http/1.1, http/2.0, spdy/3]); # returns 0 on success
- CTX_set_alpn_protos COMPATIBILITY: not available in Net-SSLeay-1.55 and before; requires at least openssl-1.0.2 NOTE: You need CTX_set_alpn_protos on client side of TLS connection. This adds list of supported application layer protocols to ClientHello message sent by a client. It advertises the enumeration of supported protocols: Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_alpn_protos($ctx, [http/1.1, http/2.0, spdy/3]);
- P_alpn_selected COMPATIBILITY: not available in Net-SSLeay-1.55 and
before; requires at least openssl-1.0.2 Returns the name of negotiated
protocol for given TLS connection
$ssl
. $rv = Net::SSLeay::P_alpn_selected($ssl) # $ssl - value corresponding to openssls SSL structure # # returns: (string) negotiated protocol name (or undef if no negotiation was done or failed with fatal error)
Low level API: DANE Support
OpenSSL version 1.0.2 adds preliminary support RFC6698 Domain Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) Transport Layer Association within OpenSSL
- SSL_get_tlsa_record_byname COMPATIBILITY: DELETED from net-ssleay,
since it is not supported by OpenSSL In order to facilitate DANE there
is additional interface, SSL_get_tlsa_record_byname, accepting
hostname, port and socket type that returns packed TLSA record. In
order to make it even easier there is additional SSL_ctrl function
that calls SSL_get_tlsa_record_byname for you. Latter is recommended
for programmers that wish to maintain broader binary compatibility,
e.g. make application work with both 1.0.2 and prior version (in which
case call to SSL_ctrl with new code returning error would have to be
ignored when running with prior version).
Net::SSLeay::get_tlsa_record_byname($name,
$port
,$type
);
Low level API: Other functions
- COMP_add_compression_method Adds the compression method cm with the identifier id to the list of available compression methods. This list is globally maintained for all SSL operations within this application. It cannot be set for specific SSL_CTX or SSL objects. my $rv = Net::SSLeay::COMP_add_compression_method($id, $cm); # $id - (integer) compression method id # 0 to 63: methods defined by the IETF # 64 to 192: external party methods assigned by IANA # 193 to 255: reserved for private use # # $cm - value corresponding to openssls COMP_METHOD structure # # returns: 0 on success, 1 on failure (check the error queue to find out the reason) Check openssl doc http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_COMP_add_compression_method.html
- DH_free Frees the DH structure and its components. The values are erased before the memory is returned to the system. Net::SSLeay::DH_free($dh); # $dh - value corresponding to openssls DH structure # # returns: no return value Check openssl doc http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/DH_new.html
- FIPS_mode_set Enable or disable FIPS mode in a FIPS capable OpenSSL. Net::SSLeay:: FIPS_mode_set($enable); # $enable - (integer) 1 to enable, 0 to disable
Low level API: EC related functions
- CTX_set_tmp_ecdh TBA
- EC_KEY_free TBA
- EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name TBA
- EC_KEY_generate_key Generates a EC key and returns it in a newly allocated EC_KEY structure. The EC key then can be used to create a PKEY which can be used in calls like X509_set_pubkey. my $key = Net::SSLeay::EVP_PKEY_new(); my $ec = Net::SSLeay::EC_KEY_generate_key($curve); Net::SSLeay::EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY($key,$ec); # $curve - curve name like secp521r1 or the matching Id (integer) of the curve # # returns: value corresponding to openssls EC_KEY structure (0 on failure) This function has no equivalent in OpenSSL but combines multiple OpenSSL functions for an easier interface.
- CTX_set_ecdh_auto, set_ecdh_auto These functions enable or disable the automatic curve selection on the server side by calling SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto or SSL_set_ecdh_auto respectively. If enabled the highest preference curve is automatically used for ECDH temporary keys used during key exchange. This function is no longer available for OpenSSL 1.1.0 or higher. Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_ecdh_auto($ctx,1); Net::SSLeay::set_ecdh_auto($ssl,1);
- CTX_set1_curves_list, set1_curves_list These functions set the supported curves (in order of preference) by calling SSL_CTX_set1_curves_list or SSL_set1_curves_list respectively. For a TLS client these curves are offered to the server in the supported curves extension while on the server side these are used to determine the shared curve. These functions are only available since OpenSSL 1.1.0. Net::SSLeay::CTX_set1_curves_list($ctx,“P-521:P-384:P-256”); Net::SSLeay::set1_curves_list($ssl,“P-521:P-384:P-256”);
- CTX_set1_groups_list, set1_groups_list These functions set the supported groups (in order of preference) by calling SSL_CTX_set1_groups_list or SSL_set1_groups_list respectively. This is practically the same as CTX_set1_curves_list and set1_curves_list except that all DH groups can be given as supported by TLS 1.3. These functions are only available since OpenSSL 1.1.1. Net::SSLeay::CTX_set1_groups_list($ctx,“P-521:P-384:P-256”); Net::SSLeay::set1_groups_list($ssl,“P-521:P-384:P-256”);
Constants
There are many openssl constants available in Net::SSLeay. You can use them like this:
use Net::SSLeay; print &Net::SSLeay::NID_commonName; #or print Net::SSLeay::NID_commonName();
Or you can import them and use:
use Net::SSLeay qw/NID_commonName/; print &NID_commonName; #or print NID_commonName(); #or print NID_commonName;
The constants names are derived from openssl constants, however
constants starting with SSL_
prefix have name with SSL_
part
stripped - e.g. openssl’s constant SSL_OP_ALL
is available as
Net::SSleay::OP_ALL

EXAMPLES
One very good example to look at is the implementation of sslcat()
in
the SSLeay.pm
file.
The following is a simple SSLeay client (with too little error checking :-(
#!/usr/bin/perl use Socket; use Net::SSLeay qw(die_now die_if_ssl_error) ; Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings(); Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms(); Net::SSLeay::randomize(); ($dest_serv, $port, $msg) = @ARGV; # Read command line $port = getservbyname ($port, tcp) unless $port =~ ^\d+$; $dest_ip = gethostbyname ($dest_serv); $dest_serv_params = sockaddr_in($port, $dest_ip); socket (S, &AF_INET, &SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die “socket: $!”; connect (S, $dest_serv_params) or die “connect: $!”; select (S); $| = 1; select (STDOUT); # Eliminate STDIO buffering # The network connection is now open, lets fire up SSL $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new() or die_now(“Failed to create SSL_CTX $!”); Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL) or die_if_ssl_error(“ssl ctx set options”); $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx) or die_now(“Failed to create SSL $!”); Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, fileno(S)); # Must use fileno $res = Net::SSLeay::connect($ssl) and die_if_ssl_error(“ssl connect”); print “Cipher `” . Net::SSLeay::get_cipher($ssl) . “\n”; # Exchange data $res = Net::SSLeay::write($ssl, $msg); # Perl knows how long $msg is die_if_ssl_error(“ssl write”); CORE::shutdown S, 1; # Half close –> No more output, sends EOF to server $got = Net::SSLeay::read($ssl); # Perl returns undef on failure die_if_ssl_error(“ssl read”); print $got; Net::SSLeay::free ($ssl); # Tear down connection Net::SSLeay::CTX_free ($ctx); close S;
The following is a simple SSLeay echo server (non forking):
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use Socket; use Net::SSLeay qw(die_now die_if_ssl_error); Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings(); Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms(); Net::SSLeay::randomize(); $our_ip = “\0\0\0\0”; # Bind to all interfaces $port = 1235; $sockaddr_template = S n a4 x8; $our_serv_params = pack ($sockaddr_template, &AF_INET, $port, $our_ip); socket (S, &AF_INET, &SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die “socket: $!”; bind (S, $our_serv_params) or die “bind: $!”; listen (S, 5) or die “listen: $!”; $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new () or die_now(“CTX_new ($ctx): $!”); Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL) or die_if_ssl_error(“ssl ctx set options”); # Following will ask password unless private key is not encrypted Net::SSLeay::CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_file ($ctx, plain-rsa.pem, &Net::SSLeay::FILETYPE_PEM); die_if_ssl_error(“private key”); Net::SSLeay::CTX_use_certificate_file ($ctx, plain-cert.pem, &Net::SSLeay::FILETYPE_PEM); die_if_ssl_error(“certificate”); while (1) { print “Accepting connections…\n”; ($addr = accept (NS, S)) or die “accept: $!”; select (NS); $| = 1; select (STDOUT); # Piping hot! ($af,$client_port,$client_ip) = unpack($sockaddr_template,$addr); @inetaddr = unpack(C4,$client_ip); print “$af connection from ” . join (., @inetaddr) . “:$client_port\n”; # We now have a network connection, lets fire up SSLeay… $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx) or die_now(“SSL_new ($ssl): $!”); Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, fileno(NS)); $err = Net::SSLeay::accept($ssl) and die_if_ssl_error(ssl accept); print “Cipher `” . Net::SSLeay::get_cipher($ssl) . “\n”; # Connected. Exchange some data. $got = Net::SSLeay::read($ssl); # Returns undef on fail die_if_ssl_error(“ssl read”); print “Got `$got (” . length ($got) . “ chars)\n”; Net::SSLeay::write ($ssl, uc ($got)) or die “write: $!”; die_if_ssl_error(“ssl write”); Net::SSLeay::free ($ssl); # Tear down connection close NS; }
Yet another echo server. This one runs from /etc/inetd.conf
so it
avoids all the socket code overhead. Only caveat is opening an rsa key
file - it had better be without any encryption or else it will not know
where to ask for the password. Note how STDIN
and STDOUT
are wired
to SSL.
#!/usr/bin/perl # /etc/inetd.conf # ssltst stream tcp nowait root /path/to/server.pl server.pl # /etc/services # ssltst 1234/tcp use Net::SSLeay qw(die_now die_if_ssl_error); Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings(); Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms(); Net::SSLeay::randomize(); chdir /key/dir or die “chdir: $!”; $| = 1; # Piping hot! open LOG, “>>/dev/console” or die “Cant open log file $!”; select LOG; print “server.pl started\n”; $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new() or die_now “CTX_new (\(ctx) (\)!)”; $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx) or die_now “new (\(ssl) (\)!)”; Net::SSLeay::set_options($ssl, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL) and die_if_ssl_error(“ssl set options”); # We get already open network connection from inetd, now we just # need to attach SSLeay to STDIN and STDOUT Net::SSLeay::set_rfd($ssl, fileno(STDIN)); Net::SSLeay::set_wfd($ssl, fileno(STDOUT)); Net::SSLeay::use_RSAPrivateKey_file ($ssl, plain-rsa.pem, Net::SSLeay::FILETYPE_PEM); die_if_ssl_error(“private key”); Net::SSLeay::use_certificate_file ($ssl, plain-cert.pem, Net::SSLeay::FILETYPE_PEM); die_if_ssl_error(“certificate”); Net::SSLeay::accept($ssl) and die_if_ssl_err(“ssl accept: $!”); print “Cipher `” .

There are also a number of example/test programs in the examples directory:
sslecho.pl - A simple server, not unlike the one above minicli.pl - Implements a client using low level SSLeay routines sslcat.pl - Demonstrates using high level sslcat utility function get_page.pl - Is a utility for getting html pages from secure servers callback.pl - Demonstrates certificate verification and callback usage stdio_bulk.pl - Does SSL over Unix pipes ssl-inetd-serv.pl - SSL server that can be invoked from inetd.conf httpd-proxy-snif.pl - Utility that allows you to see how a browser sends https request to given server and what reply it gets back (very educative :-) makecert.pl - Creates a self signed cert (does not use this module)
INSTALLATION
See README and README.* in the distribution directory for installation guidance on a variety of platforms.
LIMITATIONS
Net::SSLeay::read()
uses an internal buffer of 32KB, thus no single
read will return more. In practice one read returns much less, usually
as much as fits in one network packet. To work around this, you should
use a loop like this:
$reply = ; while ($got = Net::SSLeay::read($ssl)) { last if print_errs(SSL_read); $reply .= $got; }
Although there is no built-in limit in Net::SSLeay::write()
, the
network packet size limitation applies here as well, thus use:
$written = 0; while ($written < length($message)) { $written += Net::SSLeay::write($ssl, substr($message, $written)); last if print_errs(SSL_write); }
Or alternatively you can just use the following convenience functions:
Net::SSLeay::ssl_write_all($ssl, $message) or die “ssl write failure”; $got = Net::SSLeay::ssl_read_all($ssl) or die “ssl read failure”;
KNOWN BUGS AND CAVEATS
An OpenSSL bug CVE-2015-0290 OpenSSL Multiblock Corrupted Pointer Issue can cause POST requests of over 90kB to fail or crash. This bug is reported to be fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2a.
Autoloader emits a
Argument “xxx” isnt numeric in entersub at blib/lib/Net/SSLeay.pm
warning if die_if_ssl_error is made autoloadable. If you figure out why, drop me a line.
Callback set using SSL_set_verify()
does not appear to work. This may
well be an openssl problem (e.g. see ssl/ssl_lib.c
line 1029). Try
using SSL_CTX_set_verify()
instead and do not be surprised if even
this stops working in future versions.
Callback and certificate verification stuff is generally too little tested.
Random numbers are not initialized randomly enough, especially if you do
not have /dev/random
and/or /dev/urandom
(such as in Solaris
platforms - but it’s been suggested that cryptorand daemon from the
SUNski package solves this). In this case you should investigate third
party software that can emulate these devices, e.g. by way of a named
pipe to some program.
Another gotcha with random number initialization is randomness
depletion. This phenomenon, which has been extensively discussed in
OpenSSL, Apache-SSL, and Apache-mod_ssl forums, can cause your script to
block if you use /dev/random
or to operate insecurely if you use
/dev/urandom
. What happens is that when too much randomness is drawn
from the operating system’s randomness pool then randomness can
temporarily be unavailable. /dev/random
solves this problem by waiting
until enough randomness can be gathered - and this can take a long time
since blocking reduces activity in the machine and less activity
provides less random events: a vicious circle. /dev/urandom
solves
this dilemma more pragmatically by simply returning predictable random
numbers. Some= /dev/urandom= emulation software however actually seems
to implement /dev/random
semantics. Caveat emptor.
I’ve been pointed to two such daemons by Mik Firestone <mik@@speed.stdio._com> who has used them on Solaris 8:
- Entropy Gathering Daemon (EGD) at http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/
- Pseudo-random number generating daemon (PRNGD) at http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html
If you are using the low level API functions to communicate with other SSL implementations, you would do well to call
Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL) or die_if_ssl_error(“ssl ctx set options”);
to cope with some well know bugs in some other SSL implementations. The high level API functions always set all known compatibility options.
Sometimes sslcat()
(and the high level HTTPS functions that build on
it) is too fast in signaling the EOF to legacy HTTPS servers. This
causes the server to return empty page. To work around this problem you
can set the global variable
$Net::SSLeay::slowly = 1; # Add sleep so broken servers can keep up
HTTP/1.1 is not supported. Specifically this module does not know to issue or serve multiple http requests per connection. This is a serious shortcoming, but using the SSL session cache on your server helps to alleviate the CPU load somewhat.
As of version 1.09 many newer OpenSSL auxiliary functions were added
(from REM_AUTOMATICALLY_GENERATED_1_09
onwards in SSLeay.xs
).
Unfortunately I have not had any opportunity to test these. Some of them
are trivial enough that I believe they just work, but others have rather
complex interfaces with function pointers and all. In these cases you
should proceed wit great caution.
This module defaults to using OpenSSL automatic protocol negotiation code for automatically detecting the version of the SSL/TLS protocol that the other end talks. With most web servers this works just fine, but once in a while I get complaints from people that the module does not work with some web servers. Usually this can be solved by explicitly setting the protocol version, e.g.
$Net::SSLeay::ssl_version = 2; # Insist on SSLv2 $Net::SSLeay::ssl_version = 3; # Insist on SSLv3 $Net::SSLeay::ssl_version = 10; # Insist on TLSv1 $Net::SSLeay::ssl_version = 11; # Insist on TLSv1.1 $Net::SSLeay::ssl_version = 12; # Insist on TLSv1.2 $Net::SSLeay::ssl_version = 13; # Insist on TLSv1.3
Although the autonegotiation is nice to have, the SSL standards do not formally specify any such mechanism. Most of the world has accepted the SSLeay/OpenSSL way of doing it as the de facto standard. But for the few that think differently, you have to explicitly speak the correct version. This is not really a bug, but rather a deficiency in the standards. If a site refuses to respond or sends back some nonsensical error codes (at the SSL handshake level), try this option before mailing me.
On some systems, OpenSSL may be compiled without support for SSLv2. If this is the case, Net::SSLeay will warn if ssl_version has been set to 2.
The high level API returns the certificate of the peer, thus allowing one to check what certificate was supplied. However, you will only be able to check the certificate after the fact, i.e. you already sent your form data by the time you find out that you did not trust them, oops.
So, while being able to know the certificate after the fact is surely
useful, the security minded would still choose to do the connection and
certificate verification first and only then exchange data with the
site. Currently none of the high level API functions do this, thus you
would have to program it using the low level API. A good place to start
is to see how the Net::SSLeay::http_cat()
function is implemented.
The high level API functions use a global file handle SSLCAT_S
internally. This really should not be a problem because there is no way
to interleave the high level API functions, unless you use threads (but
threads are not very well supported in perl anyway). However, you may
run into problems if you call undocumented internal functions in an
interleaved fashion. The best solution is to require Net::SSLeay in one
thread after all the threads have been created.
DIAGNOSTICS
- Random number generator not seeded!!!
- (W) This warning indicates
that
randomize()
was not able to read/dev/random
or/dev/urandom
, possibly because your system does not have them or they are differently named. You can still use SSL, but the encryption will not be as strong. - (no term)
- open_tcp_connection: destination host not found:`server’ (port 123)
($!) :: Name lookup for host named
server
failed. - open_tcp_connection: failed `server’, 123 ($!)
- The name was resolved, but establishing the TCP connection failed.
- (no term)
- msg 123: 1 - error:140770F8:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown proto :: SSLeay error string. The first number (123) is the PID, the second number (1) indicates the position of the error message in SSLeay error stack. You often see a pile of these messages as errors cascade.
- msg 123: 1 - error:02001002::lib (2) :func (1) :reason (2)
- The same as above, but you didn’t call load_error_strings() so SSLeay couldn’t verbosely explain the error. You can still find out what it means with this command: /usr/local/ssl/bin/ssleay errstr 02001002
- Password is being asked for private key
- This is normal behaviour if
your private key is encrypted. Either you have to supply the password
or you have to use an unencrypted private key. Scan OpenSSL.org for
the FAQ that explains how to do this (or just study
examples/makecert.pl which is used during
make test
to do just that).
SECURITY
You can mitigate some of the security vulnerabilities that might be present in your SSL/TLS application:
BEAST Attack
http://blogs.cisco.com/security/beat-the-beast-with-tls/ https://community.qualys.com/blogs/securitylabs/2011/10/17/mitigating-the-beast-attack-on-tls http://blog.zoller.lu/2011/09/beast-summary-tls-cbc-countermeasures.html
The BEAST attack relies on a weakness in the way CBC mode is used in SSL/TLS. In OpenSSL versions 0.9.6d and later, the protocol-level mitigation is enabled by default, thus making it not vulnerable to the BEAST attack.
Solutions:
- Compile with OpenSSL versions 0.9.6d or later, which enables SSL_OP_ALL by default
- Ensure SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS is not enabled (its not enabled by default)
- Don’t support SSLv2, SSLv3
- Actively control the ciphers your server supports with set_cipher_list:
Net::SSLeay::set_cipher_list($ssl, ’RC4-SHA:HIGH:!ADH’);
Session Resumption
http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_options.html
The SSL Labs vulnerability test on your SSL server might report in red:
Session resumption No (IDs assigned but not accepted)
This report is not really bug or a vulnerability, since the server will not accept session resumption requests. However, you can prevent this noise in the report by disabling the session cache altogether: Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_session_cache_mode($ssl_ctx, Net::SSLeay::SESS_CACHE_OFF()); Use 0 if you don’t have SESS_CACHE_OFF constant.
Secure Renegotiation and DoS Attack
This is not a security flaw, it is more of a DoS vulnerability.
Solutions:
- Do not support SSLv2
- Do not set the SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION option
- Compile with OpenSSL 0.9.8m or later
