About:
Ssllabs-scan is a command-line interface (CLI) utility that interacts with the SSL Labs API to perform deep analysis of SSL/TLS configurations on web servers. It provides detailed reports on certificate validity, protocol support, and cipher strength, helping administrators identify vulnerabilities and compliance issues.
Key Features:
  • Automated SSL/TLS server testing via CLI
  • Parses and displays detailed grading (A-F)
  • Checks for specific vulnerabilities (e.g., Heartbleed, POODLE)
  • Supports JSON output for easy integration into scripts
Use Cases:
  • Auditing production web servers for security compliance
  • Automating security checks in CI/CD pipelines
  • Generating reports for penetration testing engagements
Alternatives:
  • testssl.sh – testssl.sh runs locally without API dependencies, whereas ssllabs-scan relies on the external Qualys API.
  • openssl – OpenSSL is a general-purpose toolkit, while ssllabs-scan provides a specific, graded assessment of SSL configuration.
