+## Intro
+
+testssl.sh is a free Unix 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.
+It\'s designed to provide clear output for a "is this good or bad" decision.
+
+It is working on every Linux distribution which has OpenSSL, /bin/bash and
+standard tools like GNU sed and awk installed.
