CertGraph

A tool to crawl the graph of certificate Alternate Names

CertGraph crawls SSL certificates creating a directed graph where each domain is a node and the certificate alternative names for that domain's certificate are the edges to other domain nodes. New domains are printed as they are found. In Detailed mode upon completion the Graph's adjacency list is printed.

Crawling defaults to collecting certificate by connecting over TCP, however there are multiple drivers that can search Certificate Transparency logs.

This tool was designed to be used for host name enumeration via SSL certificates, but it can also show you a "chain" of trust between domains and the certificates that re-used between them.

     verbose logging
  -version
     print version and exit

Drivers

CertGraph has multiple options for querying SSL certificates. The driver is responsible for retrieving the certificates for a given domain. Currently there are the following drivers:

• http this is the default driver which works by connecting to the hosts over HTTPS and retrieving the certificates from the SSL connection

• smtp like the http driver, but connects over port 25 and issues the starttls command to retrieve the certificates from the SSL connection

• censys this driver searches Certificate Transparency logs via censys.io. No packets are sent to any of the domains when using this driver. Requires Censys API keys

• crtsh this driver searches Certificate Transparency logs via crt.sh. No packets are sent to any of the domains when using this driver

Example

$ ./certgraph -details eff.org
eff.org 0       Good    42E3E4605D8BB4608EB64936E2176A98B97EBF2E0F8F93A64A6640713C7D4325

The above output represents the adjacency list for the graph for the root domain eff.org. The adjacency list is in the form: Node Depth Status Cert-Fingerprint

Releases

Pre-compiled releases will occasionally be uploaded to the releases github page. https://github.com/lanrat/certgraph/releases

Linux Distributions

• BlackArch
• Kali Linux

Compiling

To compile certgraph you must have a working go 1.16 or newer compiler on your system. To compile for the running system compilation is as easy as running make

certgraph$ make
go build -o certgraph certgraph.go

Alternatively you can use go get to install with this one-liner:

go install github.com/lanrat/certgraph@latest

Web UI

A web UI is provided in the docs folder and is accessible at the github pages url https://lanrat.github.io/certgraph/, or can be run from the embedded web server by calling certgraph --serve 127.0.0.1:8080.

The web UI takes the output provided with the -json flag. The JSON graph can be sent to the web interface as an uploaded file, remote URL, or as the query string using the data variable.

Example 1: eff.org

Example 2: google.com

Example 3: whitehouse.gov

BygoneSSL detection

Self Detection

CertGraph can be used to detect BygoneSSL DoS with the following options. CT-DRIVER can be any Certificate Transparency capable driver. Provide all known input domains you own. If any domains you do not own are printed, then you are vulnerable.

certgraph -depth 1 -driver CT-DRIVER -ct-subdomains -cdn -apex [DOMAIN]...

Bug Bounty

If you want to find a vulnerable site that has a bug bounty, certgraph can be used with the following options and any driver. But you will have better luck with a non Certificate Transparency driver to ensure that the certificates in question are actually in use

certgraph -cdn -dns -apex [DOMAIN]...

And domains that print * Missing DNS for have vulnerable certificates that should be rotated.
