ASN.1-Attacker

ASN.1-Attacker is an open-source framework for generating arbitrary ASN.1 structures. The tool also provides mechanisms to define modifications of original ASN.1 values. Resulting binary ASN.1 structures can then be used for further processing in other tools.

The tool is not intended to be used directly, but by other software projects as a library.

Installation

In order to compile and use ASN.1-Attacker, you need to have Java and Maven installed. On Ubuntu you can install Maven by running:

$ sudo apt-get install maven

ASN.1-Attacker currently needs Java JDK 21 to run. If you have the correct Java version you can install ASN.1-Attacker as follows.

$ git clone https://github.com/tls-attacker/ASN.1-Attacker.git
$ cd ASN.1-Tool
$ mvn clean install

If you want to use this project as a dependency, you do not have to compile it yourself and can include it in your pom .xml as follows.
