NAME

       sslscan - Fast SSL/TLS scanner

SYNOPSIS

       sslscan [options] [host:port | host]

DESCRIPTION

       sslscan queries SSL/TLS services (such as HTTPS) and reports the protocol versions, cipher
       suites, key exchanges, signature algorithms, and certificates in use.  This helps the user
       understand which parameters are weak from a security standpoint.

       Terminal output is thus colour-coded as follows:

       Red Background  NULL cipher (no encryption)
       Red              Broken  cipher  (<=  40  bit), broken protocol (SSLv2 or SSLv3) or broken
       certificate signing algorithm (MD5)
       Yellow          Weak cipher (<= 56 bit or  RC4)  or  weak  certificate  signing  algorithm
       (SHA-1)
       Purple          Anonymous cipher (ADH or AECDH)

       sslscan  can  also  output  results  into  an  XML  file  for easy consumption by external
       programs.

OPTIONS

       --help
              Show summary of options

       --targets=<file>
              A file containing a list of hosts to check. Hosts can be supplied with ports  (i.e.
              host:port). One target per line

       --sni-name=<name>
              Use a different hostname for SNI

       --ipv4, -4
              Force  IPv4  DNS  resolution.   Default is to try IPv4, and if that fails then fall
              back to IPv6.

       --ipv6, -6
              Force IPv6 DNS resolution.  Default is to try IPv4, and if  that  fails  then  fall
              back to IPv6.

       --show-certificate
              Display certificate information.

       --no-check-certificate
              Don't flag certificates signed with weak algorithms (MD5 and SHA-1) or short (<2048
              bit) RSA keys

       --show-client-cas
              Show a list of CAs that the server allows for client authentication. Will be  blank
              for IIS/Schannel servers.

       --show-ciphers
              Show a complete list of ciphers supported by sslscan

       --show-cipher-ids
              Print the hexadecimal cipher IDs

       --show-times
              Show  the  time  taken  for each handshake in milliseconds. Note that only a single
              request is made with each cipher, and that the  size  of  the  ClientHello  is  not
              constant,  so  this  should  not  be  used  for  proper benchmarking or performance
              testing.

              You might want to also use --no-cipher-details to make the output a bit clearer.

       --ssl2
              Only check if SSLv2 is enabled

       --ssl3
              Only check if SSLv3 is enabled

              Only check TLS 1.0 ciphers

       --tls11
              Only check TLS 1.1 ciphers

              Only check TLS ciphers (versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3)

       --ocsp
              Display OCSP status

       --pk=<file>
              A file  containing  the  private  key  or  a  PKCS#12  file  containing  a  private
              key/certificate pair (as produced by MSIE and Netscape)

       --pkpass=<password>
              The password for the private key or PKCS#12 file
