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](https://testssl.sh/ "Go to the site with the stable version and more documentation").

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. testssl.sh is working on every Linux/BSD distribution out of the box with
