It's a simple script running in Python that collects SSL/TLS information and then returns the group of information in JSON. It can also connect through your specified SOCKS server.
One of the good things about this script is that it will fully analyze the SSL certificate for security issues and include the report in the output, CSV, HTML, or JSON file.
You can simply go to https://ssl-checker.io or use the following curl command:
curl https://ssl-checker.io/api/v1/check/example.com
pip install -r requirements.txt
./ssl_checker.py -h
usage: ssl_checker.py (-H [HOSTS [HOSTS ...]] | -f HOST_FILE) [-s HOST:PORT]
[-c FILENAME.CSV] [-j] [-S] [-x] [-J] [-a] [-v] [-h]
Collects useful information about the given host's SSL certificates.
optional arguments:
-H [HOSTS [HOSTS ...]], --host [HOSTS [HOSTS ...]]
Hosts as input separated by space
-f HOST_FILE, --host-file HOST_FILE
Hosts as input from a file
-s HOST:PORT, --socks HOST:PORT
Enable SOCKS proxy for connection
-c FILENAME.CSV, --csv FILENAME.CSV
Enable CSV file export
-j, --json Enable JSON in the output
-S, --summary Enable summary output only
-x, --html Enable HTML file export
-J, --json-save Enable JSON export individually per host
-a, --analyze Enable SSL security analysis on the host
-v, --verbose Enable verbose to see what is going on
-h, --help Show this help message and exit
The port is optional here. The script will use 443 if not specified.
-f, --host-file File containing hostnames for input
-H, --host Enter the hosts separated by space
-s, --socks Enable connection through the SOCKS server
-c, --csv Enable CSV file export by specifying filename.csv after this argument
-j, --json Use this if you want only to have the result in JSON
-S, --summary This argument will show a quick summary of the output
-x, --html Enable HTML file export
-J, --json-save Use this if you want to save as JSON file per host
-a, --analyze This argument will include security analysis on the certificate. Takes more time. No result means failure to analyze.
-v, --verbose Shows more output. Good for troubleshooting.
-h, --help Shows the help and exit

NOTE: Keep in mind that if the certificate has less than 15 days of validity, the script will consider it as a warning in the summary.
No problem. Pass -s/--socks argument to the script with HOST:PORT format to connect through the SOCKS proxy.

Sometimes you need to run the script and get a quick summary of the hosts. You will get a quick overview of the result by passing -S/--summary.

By passing -a/--analyze to the script, it will scan the certificate for security issues and vulnerabilities. It will also mark a grade for the certificate. This will take more time to finish.

Example only with the -j/--json argument which shows the JSON only. Perfect for piping to another tool.
narbeh@narbeh-xps:~/ssl-checker$ ./ssl_checker.py -j -H narbeh.org:443

CSV export is also easy. After running the script with -c/--csv argument and specifying filename.csv after it, you'll have something like this:
narbeh@narbeh-xps:~/ssl-checker$ cat domain.csv
narbeh.org
issued_to,narbeh.org
valid_till,2018-07-20
valid_from,2018-04-21
issuer_ou,None
cert_ver,2
cert_alg,sha256WithRSAEncryption
cert_exp,False
issuer_c,US
issuer_cn,Let's Encrypt Authority X3
issuer_o,Let's Encrypt
validity_days,90
cert_sn,338163108483756707389368573553026254634358
Finally, if you want to export JSON's output per host in a separate file, use -J/--json-save. This will export JSON's output per host.
Import the ssl_checker.py into your Python script and use it as a module.
from ssl_checker import SSLChecker
SSLChecker = SSLChecker()
args = {
'hosts': ['google.com', 'cisco.com']
}
SSLChecker.show_result(SSLChecker.get_args(json_args=args))
$ docker run -it --rm narbehaj/ssl-checker -H twitter.com
If you want to run this script via docker, create your image and run it once:
$ docker build -t ssl-checker .
$ docker run -it --rm ssl-checker -H twitter.com
