API Reference

Fingerprinter Classes

All fingerprinters inherit from BaseFingerprinter and share a common interface.

Common Methods

Method Returns Description
process_packet(packet) str or None Process a scapy packet. Returns fingerprint string if one is generated.
get_fingerprints() list[dict] Returns all collected fingerprints as {"fingerprint": str, ...} dicts.
reset() None Clears all collected fingerprints and internal state.

JA4Fingerprinter

TLS Client Hello fingerprinting.

from ja4plus import JA4Fingerprinter

fp = JA4Fingerprinter()
result = fp.process_packet(packet)        # Returns JA4 string or None
raw = fp.get_raw_fingerprint(packet)      # Returns unhashed fingerprint

JA4SFingerprinter

TLS Server Hello fingerprinting.

from ja4plus import JA4SFingerprinter

fp = JA4SFingerprinter()
result = fp.process_packet(packet)

JA4HFingerprinter

HTTP request fingerprinting.

from ja4plus import JA4HFingerprinter

fp = JA4HFingerprinter()
result = fp.process_packet(packet)

JA4TFingerprinter

TCP client fingerprinting from SYN packets.

from ja4plus import JA4TFingerprinter

fp = JA4TFingerprinter()
result = fp.process_packet(packet)

JA4TSFingerprinter

TCP server fingerprinting from SYN-ACK packets.

from ja4plus import JA4TSFingerprinter

fp = JA4TSFingerprinter()
result = fp.process_packet(packet)

JA4LFingerprinter

Network latency estimation from TCP handshake timing.

from ja4plus import JA4LFingerprinter

fp = JA4LFingerprinter()
result = fp.process_packet(packet)

JA4XFingerprinter

X.509 certificate structure fingerprinting.

from ja4plus import JA4XFingerprinter

fp = JA4XFingerprinter()
result = fp.fingerprint_certificate(der_bytes)  # From DER-encoded cert
result = fp.process_packet(packet)               # From TLS packet
details = fp.get_cert_details(x509_cert)         # Extract OID details

JA4SSHFingerprinter

SSH session classification.

from ja4plus import JA4SSHFingerprinter

fp = JA4SSHFingerprinter(packet_count=200)
result = fp.process_packet(packet)
info = fp.interpret_fingerprint(result)          # Session type analysis
hassh = fp.get_hassh_fingerprints()              # HASSH fingerprints
lookup = fp.lookup_hassh(hassh_value)            # Known HASSH lookup

Convenience Functions

One-shot fingerprinting without maintaining state:

from ja4plus import (
    generate_ja4,
    generate_ja4s,
    generate_ja4h,
    generate_ja4t,
    generate_ja4ts,
    generate_ja4l,
    generate_ja4x,
    generate_ja4ssh,
)

# Each takes a scapy packet and returns a fingerprint string or None
result = generate_ja4(packet)
Function Input Description
generate_ja4(packet) scapy packet JA4 TLS client fingerprint
generate_ja4s(packet) scapy packet JA4S TLS server fingerprint
generate_ja4h(packet) scapy packet JA4H HTTP fingerprint
generate_ja4t(packet) scapy packet JA4T TCP client fingerprint
generate_ja4ts(packet) scapy packet JA4TS TCP server fingerprint
generate_ja4l(packet) scapy packet JA4L latency fingerprint
generate_ja4x(cert_info) dict JA4X certificate fingerprint (takes cert_info dict)
generate_ja4ssh(packet) scapy packet JA4SSH session fingerprint

Utility Modules

CLI Module

ja4plus.cli

Command-line interface for JA4+ fingerprinting. Installed as the ja4plus command.

ja4plus analyze <pcap_file>   # Fingerprint a PCAP file
ja4plus live <interface>      # Live capture (requires root)
ja4plus cert <cert_file>      # Fingerprint an X.509 certificate
Option Description
--format table|json|csv Output format (default: table)
--types ja4,ja4s,... Filter to specific fingerprint types
--lookup Identify fingerprints using bundled ja4db database
--version Print version

Lookup Module

ja4plus.ja4db

Fingerprint identification using FoxIO's ja4plus-mapping.csv database.

from ja4plus.ja4db import JA4DBClient, lookup

# Module-level convenience function
result = lookup("t13d1516h2_8daaf6152771_02713d6af862")
# {"application": "Chromium Browser", "type": "ja4", "notes": ""}

# Or use the client for caching across multiple lookups
client = JA4DBClient()
result = client.lookup(fingerprint_string)
Class/Function Description
