Overview
uTLS is a fork of Go's crypto/tls library that gives low-level access to the TLS ClientHello. The handshake itself is still done by crypto/tls, and uTLS only changes the ClientHello and exposes its details. Go's default ClientHello has a distinctive fingerprint, so tools can be easily recognised and blocked. With uTLS a program can imitate other clients, which is mainly used for anti-censorship. It requires Go 1.21 or newer.
Key features
- Read and write access to all bits of the ClientHello
- Fingerprint resistance, including randomized fingerprints
- Read access to ClientHandshakeState such as ServerHello
- Support for fake session tickets
