Actions

A WorkflowTrace as implemented in TLS-Attacker consists of multiple Actions. The following Actions are currently implemented in TLS-Attacker:

• SendAction
• ReceiveAction
• GenericReceiveAction
• RenegotiationAction
• ResetConnectionAction
• WaitingAction
• ChangeCipherSuiteAction
• ChangeClientRandomAction
• ChangeCompressionAction
• ChangeMasterSecretAction
• ChangePreMasterSecretAction
• ChangeProtocolVersionAction
• ChangeServerRandomAction
• DeactivateEncryptionAction

The Actions are described in more Detail below. Note: You can also define your own Actions and use them with TLS-Attacker ##SendAction The SendAction is one of the basic TLS-Attacker Actions. If it is executed it sends a List of predefined Messages/Records.

<SendAction>
    <messages>
        <ClientHello/>
    </messages>
    <records>
        <Record/>
    </records>
</SendAction>

With messages you can specify a list of Messages you want to send, and with records you can defined the records in which these messages should be send. By default, TLS-Attacker will add Records to your WorkflowTrace as needed and create them with the correct sizes. With the default Settings TLS-Attacker will add additional records as needed to your WorkflowTrace and ignore Records it did not need to send the defined Messages. You can edit this behavior in the Config.
