Intro
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)
Status
Here in the master branch you find the stable version 2.8rc3 of the software, it superseds 2.6. Version 2.8 is currently being finalized . 2.9dev is the new developement branch For the a more thorough description of the command line options please see testssl.sh or https://github.com/drwetter/testssl.sh/wiki/Usage-Documentation.
Compatibility
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.
Features in 2.8 stable
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 now on servers requiring a x509 certificate for authentication
- extensive CN <--> hostname check
- SSL Session ID check
- Avahi/mDNS based name resolution
- HTTP2/ALPN protocol check
- Logging to a file / dir
- Logging to (flat) JSON + CSV
- HPKP checks now also for Root, intermediate SPKIs
- Check for multiple server certificates
- Browser cipher simulation: what client will connect with which cipher + protocol
- GOST cipher+certificate improvements
- 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 SSLv2 + TLS socket interface
- seperate check for curves
- OpenSSL 1.1.0 compliant
- check for DROWN
- Whole number of bugs squashed
