Alexandre Dulaunoy's repository imported the original tarball and distribution patch set in 2015, then began tagged 1.x releases in 2019. Modern ssldump retains the classic packet-analysis role of identifying SSLv3/TLS traffic and printing decoded records, while adding JSON output, JA3 support, IPv6, FAN/1 passive fingerprints, and maintained build/test infrastructure. ### Adoption history The README lists availability in Alpine Linux, Arch/AUR, EPEL/Fedora-family packages, Debian, Fedora, Kali, Ubuntu, and Homebrew-oriented macOS build instructions. The supplied package metadata also records Homebrew, Debian, dnf, MacPorts, Nix, Ubuntu, and zypper packaging, reflecting ssldump's status as a packaged security-analysis utility rather than only a source checkout. ### How it is used Typical usage captures live or saved traffic and asks ssldump to decode TLS handshakes or emit JSON for downstream tools such as `jq`. With suitable keying material, it can also decrypt application data, while recent JSON modes expose passive fingerprints for analysis pipelines. ### Why package nerds care ssldump is significant to package maintainers because it is legacy security tooling kept alive through distribution patches, OpenSSL compatibility work, and feature additions needed by packet-analysis users. Its history illustrates how package ecosystems preserve useful C utilities long after the original upstream becomes inactive. ### Timeline - 2015: Current repository imported ssldump 0.9b3 and distribution patches. - 2019: v1.0 tagged after accumulated fixes and TLS/cipher-suite updates. - 2021: v1.3 and v1.4 series included JSON output work and IPv6 support. - 2022: v1.5 documentation covered JA3 use cases. - 2024: v1.9 released with current README identifying it as the maintained de facto patch-gathering repository. ### Related projects - The README connects ssldump to Passive SSL work, the D4 Project, JA3 fingerprinting, FAN/1 passive fingerprints, and sslsplit-inspired pcap writing. ### Sources - Git history from https://github.com/adulau/ssldump -
