Socat patch to add hash verification to openSSL connections
commit 49d13df85993eda521002b9c197d68914c0c86e6
Author: gdm85 <gdm85@users.noreply.github.com>
Date: Tue Nov 14 23:21:23 2017 +0100
[PATCH] Add support for openssl-verify-hash
A new option is added, openssl-verify-hash with alias verify-hash; this option
specifies a SHA256 hash in hexadecimal format that will be required to match
the X509 hash of the OpenSSL peer certificate.
Documentation is updated to mention MiTM for the pre-existing 'verify' option
and clarify the role of the new 'verify-hash' option for self-signed
certificates (not mentioned explicitly) and certificate pinning.
