How To Perform SSL Scan For IP Address Using Kali Linux
Nov 1, 2021
SSL Scan: It is a command-line tool that performs a wide variety of tests over the specified target and returns a comprehensive list of the protocols and ciphers accepted by an SSL/TLS server along with some other information useful in a security test.
How to Test:
- Open the Kali Linux OS.
- Open the Terminal Emulator.
- Use root control.
- Select the target.
- Give the command.
Example: “sslscan 0.0.0.0(Target IP Address)”.
- Click enter.
- Then the attacker will receive the response as shown in the screenshots below.
Note:
- You can use SSLScan’s color code to obtain a quick reference about the severity, in terms of security, of the displayed results.
- Red (allowing SSLv3 and using DES and RC4 ciphers) indicates an insecure configuration, while green or white is a recommended one.
