# ctfetch

Tools for working with Certificate Transparency log tiles.

## Install

```bash
go install ./cmd/ctfetch
```

## Usage

`ctfetch` operates in two modes depending on the arguments given.

### Leaf-index mode

Fetch a specific entry (or all entries in its tile) by leaf index:

```bash
ctfetch [flags] <log-url> <leaf-index> [+sct] [+issuer] [+ctlog]
```

**Examples:**

Dump a specific entry:
```bash
ctfetch https://halloumi2026h1.mon.ct.ipng.ch 629794635
```

Dump with SCTs, issuer chain, and CT log details:
```bash
ctfetch https://halloumi2026h1.mon.ct.ipng.ch 629794635 +sct +issuer +ctlog
```

### Tile-dump mode

Fetch all entries from a tile URL or a local file. Automatically detects data tiles (log entries) and hash tiles (Merkle tree hashes).

```bash
ctfetch [flags] <tile-url-or-file> [+sct] [+issuer] [+ctlog]
```

**Examples:**

Data tile from a URL:
```bash
ctfetch https://halloumi2026h1.mon.ct.ipng.ch/tile/data/x002/x460/135
```

Data tile with SCTs and CT log details:
```bash
ctfetch https://halloumi2026h1.mon.ct.ipng.ch/tile/data/x002/x460/135 +sct +ctlog
```

Hash tile from a URL:
```bash
ctfetch https://halloumi2026h1.mon.ct.ipng.ch/tile/0/x100/999
```

Data tile from a local file (with issuer resolution):
```bash
ctfetch --monitoring-url https://halloumi2026h1.mon.ct.ipng.ch tile.bin +issuer
```

## Output modifiers

| Modifier | Description |
|---|---|
| `+sct` | Parse and include embedded Signed Certificate Timestamps from final (non-precert) certificates |
| `+issuer` | Fetch and include issuer certificate details from the log's `/issuer/<fp>` endpoint |
| `+ctlog` | Look up each SCT's log ID in the CT log list and include operator/state details |

## Flags

| Flag | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `--logs-list-url` | `https://www.gstatic.com/ct/log_list/v3/all_logs_list.json` | URL of the CT log list JSON used for `+ctlog` lookups |
| `--monitoring-url` | _(none)_ | Log root URL for issuer lookups when input is a local file |

## Notes

- In tile-dump mode with a tile URL, `+issuer` automatically derives the log root by stripping the `/tile/...` path. With a local file, `--monitoring-url` must be provided.
- Partial tiles (`.p/N` suffix) are tried first; on 404 the full tile is fetched automatically.
- The CT log list and issuer certificates are cached in memory, so each unique resource is fetched only once per invocation.
