`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.
* Machine readable output.
* No installation needed: Linux, OSX/Darwin, FreeBSD, NetBSD, MSYS2/Cygwin,
  WSL work out of the box. Only OpenBSD needs bash. No need to install
  or to configure something.  No gems, CPAN, pip or the like.
* A Dockerfile is provided, there's also an offical container @ dockerhub.
* Flexibility: You can test any SSL/TLS enabled and STARTTLS service, not
  only web servers at port 443.
* Toolbox: Several command line options help you to run *your* test and
  configure *your* output.
* Reliability: features are tested thoroughly.
* 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.
* The development is open (github) and participation is welcome.

### License

This software is free. You can use it under the terms of GPLv2, see LICENSE.
In addition starting from version 3.0rc1 if you're offering a scanner based on testssl.sh
as a public and / or paid service in the internet you need to mention to your audience that you're using
this program and where to get this program from.

### Compatibility

testssl.sh is working on every Linux/BSD distribution out of the box. Latest by 2.9dev
most of the limitations of disabled features from the openssl client are gone
due to bash-socket-based checks. As a result you can also use e.g. LibreSSL or OpenSSL
1.1.1 . testssl.sh also works on other unixoid system out of the box, supposed they have
`/bin/bash` >= version 3.2 and standard tools like sed and awk installed. An implicit
(silent) check for binaries is done when you start testssl.sh . System V needs probably
to have GNU grep installed. MacOS X and Windows (using MSYS2, Cygwin or WSL) work too.

* [https://testssl.sh/](https://testssl.sh/) will help to get you started.
* Will Hunt provides a longer, good [description](https://www.4armed.com/blog/doing-your-own-ssl-tls-testing/) for the version 2.8, including useful background info.
