Single executable including both client and server. Written in Go (golang). Chisel is mainly useful for passing through firewalls, though it can also be used to provide a secure endpoint into your network. Chisel is very similar to [crowbar](https://github.com/q3k/crowbar) though achieves **much** higher [performance](#performance).\n\n![overview](https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1p53VWxzGNfy8rjr-mW8pvisJmhkoLl82vAgctO_6f1w/pub?w=960&h=720)\n\n### Features\n\n- Easy to use\n- [Performant](#performance)\\*\n- [Encrypted connections](#security) using the SSH protocol (via `crypto/ssh`)\n- [Authenticated connections](#authentication); authenticated client connections with a users config file, authenticated server connections with fingerprint matching.\n- Client auto-reconnects with [exponential backoff](https://github.com/jpillora/backoff)\n- Client can create multiple tunnel endpoints over one TCP connection\n- Client can optionally pass through HTTP CONNECT proxies\n- Server optionally doubles as a [reverse proxy](http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/httputil/#NewSingleHostReverseProxy)\n- Server optionally allows [SOCKS5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS) connections (See [guide below](#socks5-guide))\n\n### Install\n\n**Binaries**\n\n[![Releases](https://img.shields.io/github/release/jpillora/chisel.svg)](https://github.com/jpillora/chisel/releases) [![Releases](https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/jpillora/chisel/total.svg)](https://github.com/jpillora/chisel/releases)\n\nSee [the latest release](https://github.com/jpillora/chisel/releases/latest) or download and install it now with `curl https://i.jpillora.com/chisel! | bash`\n\n**Docker**\n\n[![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/jpillora/chisel.svg)](https://hub.docker.com/r/jpillora/chisel/) [![Image Size](https://images.microbadger.com/badges/image/jpillora/chisel.svg)](https://microbadger.com/images/jpillora/chisel)\n\n```sh\ndocker run --rm -it jpillora/chisel --help\n```\n\n**Source**\n\n```sh\n$ go get -v github.com/jpillora/chisel\n```\n\n### Demo\n\nA [demo app](https://chisel-demo.herokuapp.com) on Heroku is running this `chisel server`:\n\n```sh\n$ chisel server --port $PORT --proxy http://example.com\n# listens on $PORT, proxy web requests to 'http://example.com'\n```\n\nThis demo app is also running a [simple file server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/serve) on `:3000`, which is normally inaccessible due to Heroku's firewall. However, if we tunnel in with:\n\n```sh\n$ chisel client https://chisel-demo.herokuapp.com 3000\n# connects to 'https://chisel-demo.herokuapp.com',\n# tunnels your localhost:3000 to the server's localhost:3000\n```\n\nand then visit [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000/), we should see a directory listing of the demo app's root. Also, if we visit the [demo app](https://chisel-demo.herokuapp.com) in the browser we should hit the server's default proxy and see a copy of [example.com](http://example.com).\n\n### Usage\n\n```\n$ chisel --help\n\n Usage: chisel [command] [--help]\n\n Version: X.Y.Z\n\n Commands:\n server - runs chisel in server mode\n client - runs chisel in client mode\n\n Read more:\n https://github.com/jpillora/chisel\n```\n\n```\n$ chisel server --help\n\n Usage: chisel server [options]\n\n Options:\n\n --host, Defines the HTTP listening host – the network interface\n (defaults the environment variable HOST and falls back to 0.0.0.0).\n\n --port, -p, Defines the HTTP listening port (defaults to the environment\n variable PORT and fallsback to port 8080).\n\n --key, An optional string to seed the generation of a ECDSA public\n and private key pair. All commications will be secured using this\n key pair. Share the subsequent fingerprint with clients to enable detection\n of man-in-the-middle attacks (defaults to the CHISEL_KEY environment\n variable, otherwise a new key is generate each run).\n\n --authfile, An optional path to a users.json file. This file should\n be an object with users defined like:\n {\n \"\": [\"\",\"\"]\n }\n when connects, their will be verified and then\n each of the remote addresses will be compared against the list\n of address regular expressions for a match. Addresses will\n always come in the form \":\".\n\n --auth, An optional string representing a single user with full\n access, in the form of . This is equivalent to creating an\n authfile with {\"\": [\"\"]}.\n\n --proxy, Specifies another HTTP server to proxy requests to when\n chisel receives a normal HTTP request. Useful for hiding chisel in\n plain sight.\n\n --socks5, Allows client to access the internal SOCKS5 proxy. See\n chisel client --help for more information.\n\n --pid Generate pid file in current directory\n\n -v, Enable verbose logging\n\n --help, This help text\n\n Version:\n X.Y.Z\n\n Read more:\n https://github.com/jpillora/chisel\n```\n\n```\n$ chisel client --help\n\n Usage: chisel client [options] [remote] [remote] ...\n\n is the URL to the chisel server.\n\n s are remote connections tunnelled through the server, each of\n which come in the form:\n\n :::\n\n ■ local-host defaults to 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces).\n ■ local-port defaults to remote-port.\n ■ remote-port is required*.\n ■ remote-host defaults to 0.0.0.0 (server localhost).\n\n example remotes\n\n 3000\n example.com:3000\n 3000:google.com:80\n 192.168.0.5:3000:google.com:80\n socks\n 5000:socks\n\n *When the chisel server has --socks5 enabled, remotes can\n specify \"socks\" in place of remote-host and remote-port.\n The default local host and port for a \"socks\" remote is\n 127.0.0.1:1080. Connections to this remote will terminate\n at the server's internal SOCKS5 proxy.\n\n Options:\n\n --fingerprint, A *strongly recommended* fingerprint string\n to perform host-key validation against the server's public key.\n You may provide just a prefix of the key or the entire string.\n Fingerprint mismatches will close the connection.\n\n --auth, An optional username and password (client authentication)\n in the form: \":\". These credentials are compared to\n the credentials inside the server's --authfile. defaults to the\n AUTH environment variable.\n\n --keepalive, An optional keepalive interval. Since the underlying\n transport is HTTP, in many instances we'll be traversing through\n proxies, often these proxies will close idle connections. You must\n specify a time with a unit, for example '30s' or '2m'. Defaults\n to '0s' (disabled).\n\n --proxy, An optional HTTP CONNECT proxy which will be used reach\n the chisel server. Authentication can be specified inside the URL.\n For example, http://admin:password@my-server.com:8081\n\n --max-retry-count, Maximum number of times to retry before exiting.\n Defaults to unlimited.\n\n --max-retry-interval, Maximum wait time before retrying after a\n disconnection. Defaults to 5 minutes.\n\n --pid Generate pid file in current directory\n\n -v, Enable verbose logging\n\n --help, This help text\n\n Version:\n X.Y.Z\n\n Read more:\n https://github.com/jpillora/chisel\n```\n\n### Security\n\nEncryption is always enabled. When you start up a chisel server, it will generate an in-memory ECDSA public/private key pair. The public key fingerprint will be displayed as the server starts. Instead of generating a random key, the server may optionally specify a key seed, using the `--key` option, which will be used to seed the key generation. When clients connect, they will also display the server's public key fingerprint. The client can force a particular fingerprint using the `--fingerprint` option. See the `--help` above for more information.\n\n### Authentication\n\nUsing the `--authfile` option, the server may optionally provide a `user.json` configuration file to create a list of accepted users. The client then authenticates using the `--auth` option. See [users.json](example/users.json) for an example authentication configuration file. See the `--help` above for more information.\n\nInternally, this is done using the _Password_ authentication method provided by SSH. Learn more about `crypto/ssh` here http://blog.gopheracademy.com/go-and-ssh/.\n\n### SOCKS5 Guide\n\n1. Start your chisel server\n\n```sh\ndocker run \\\n --name chisel -p 9312:9312 \\\n -d --restart always \\\n jpillora/chisel server -p 9312 --socks5 --key supersecret\n```\n\n2. Connect your chisel client (using server's fingerprint)\n\n```sh\nchisel client --fingerprint ab:12:34 server-address:9312 socks\n```\n\n3. Point your SOCKS5 clients (e.g. OS/Browser) to:\n\n```\nlocalhost:1080\n```\n\n4. Now you have an encrypted, authenticated SOCKS5 connection over HTTP\n\n### Performance\n\nWith [crowbar](https://github.com/q3k/crowbar), a connection is tunnelled by repeatedly querying the server with updates. This results in a large amount of HTTP and TCP connection overhead. Chisel overcomes this using WebSockets combined with [crypto/ssh](https://golang.org/x/crypto/ssh) to create hundreds of logical connections, resulting in **one** TCP connection per client.\n\nIn this simple benchmark, we have:\n\n```\n\t\t\t\t\t(direct)\n .--------------->----------------.\n / chisel chisel \\\nrequest--->client:2001--->server:2002---->fileserver:3000\n \\ /\n '--> crowbar:4001--->crowbar:4002'\n client server\n```\n\nNote, we're using an in-memory \"file\" server on localhost for these tests\n\n_direct_\n\n```\n:3000 => 1 bytes in 1.291417ms\n:3000 => 10 bytes in 713.525µs\n:3000 => 100 bytes in 562.48µs\n:3000 => 1000 bytes in 595.445µs\n:3000 => 10000 bytes in 1.053298ms\n:3000 => 100000 bytes in 741.351µs\n:3000 => 1000000 bytes in 1.367143ms\n:3000 => 10000000 bytes in 8.601549ms\n:3000 => 100000000 bytes in 76.3939ms\n```\n\n`chisel`\n\n```\n:2001 => 1 bytes in 1.351976ms\n:2001 => 10 bytes in 1.106086ms\n:2001 => 100 bytes in 1.005729ms\n:2001 => 1000 bytes in 1.254396ms\n:2001 => 10000 bytes in 1.139777ms\n:2001 => 100000 bytes in 2.35437ms\n:2001 => 1000000 bytes in 11.502673ms\n:2001 => 10000000 bytes in 123.130246ms\n:2001 => 100000000 bytes in 966.48636ms\n```\n\n~100MB in **~1 second**\n\n`crowbar`\n\n```\n:4001 => 1 bytes in 3.335797ms\n:4001 => 10 bytes in 1.453007ms\n:4001 => 100 bytes in 1.811727ms\n:4001 => 1000 bytes in 1.621525ms\n:4001 => 10000 bytes in 5.20729ms\n:4001 => 100000 bytes in 38.461926ms\n:4001 => 1000000 bytes in 358.784864ms\n:4001 => 10000000 bytes in 3.603206487s\n:4001 => 100000000 bytes in 36.332395213s\n```\n\n~100MB in **36 seconds**\n\nSee more [test/](test/)\n\n### Known Issues\n\n- WebSockets support is required\n _ IaaS providers all will support WebSockets\n _ Unless an unsupporting HTTP proxy has been forced in front of you, in which case I'd argue that you've been downgraded to PaaS.\n _ PaaS providers vary in their support for WebSockets\n _ Heroku has full support\n _ Openshift has full support though connections are only accepted on ports 8443 and 8080\n _ Google App Engine has **no** support (Track this on [their repo](https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2535))\n\n### Contributing\n\n- http://golang.org/doc/code.html\n- http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html\n- `github.com/jpillora/chisel/share` contains the shared package\n- `github.com/jpillora/chisel/server` contains the server package\n- `github.com/jpillora/chisel/client` contains the client package\n\n### Changelog\n\n- `1.0.0` -
