Intro

Build Status Gitter

testssl.sh is a free command line tool which checks a server's service on any port for the support of TLS/SSL ciphers, protocols as well as some cryptographic flaws.

Key features

  • Clear output: you can tell easily whether anything is good or bad
  • Ease of installation: It works for Linux, Darwin, FreeBSD, NetBSD and MSYS2/Cygwin out of the box: no need to install or configure something, no gems, CPAN, pip or the like.
  • Flexibility: You can test any SSL/TLS enabled and STARTTLS service, not only webservers at port 443
  • Toolbox: Several command line options help you to run YOUR test and configure YOUR output
  • Reliability: features are tested thoroughly
  • Verbosity: If a particular check cannot be performed because of a missing capability on your client side, you'll get a warning
  • Privacy: It's only you who sees the result, not a third party
  • Freedom: It's 100% open source. You can look at the code, see what's going on and you can change it.
  • Heck, even the development is open (github)

General

Here in the master branch you find the development version of the software -- with new features and maybe some bugs. For the stable version and a more thorough description of the command line options please see testssl.sh.

testssl.sh is working on every Linux/BSD distribution out of the box with some limitations of disabled features from the openssl client -- some workarounds are done with bash-socket-based checks. It also works on other unixoid system out of the box, supposed they have /bin/bash and standard tools like sed and awk installed. MacOS X and Windows (using MSYS2 or cygwin) work too. OpenSSL version >= 1 is a must. OpenSSL version >= 1.0.2 is needed for better LOGJAM checks and to display bit strengths for key exchanges.

Current Development

Planned features in the release 2.7dev/2.8 are:

Done so far:

  • Trust chain check against certificate stores from Apple (OS), Linux (OS), Microsoft (OS), Mozilla (Firefox Browser), works for openssl >=1.0.1
  • IPv6 (status: 80% working, details see drwetter#11
  • works on servers requiring a x509 certificate for authentication
  • SSL Session ID check
  • Avahi/mDNS based name resolution
  • HTTP2/ALPN protocol check
  • Logging to a file / dir
  • Logging to JSON + CSV
  • Check for multiple server certificates
  • Browser cipher simulation
  • Assistance for color-blind users
  • Even more compatibility improvements for FreeBSD, NetBSD, Gentoo, RH-ish, F5 and Cisco systems
  • Considerable speed improvements for each cipher runs (-e/-E)
  • More robust socket interface
  • OpenSSL 1.1.0 compliant
  • Whole number of bugs squashed
