How To Perform SSL Scan For IP Address Using Kali Linux

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.

You’re done.

Happy Hacking!
