Fast and powerful SSL/TLS server scanning library for Python 2.7 and 3.3+.
SSLyze is a Python library and a CLI tool that can analyze the SSL configuration of a server by connecting to it. It is designed to be fast and comprehensive, and should help organizations and testers identify mis-configurations affecting their SSL/TLS servers.
Key features include:
- Python API, in order to run scans and process the results directly from Python.
- Scans are automatically dispatched among multiple processes, making them very fast.
- Performance testing: session resumption and TLS tickets support.
- Security testing: weak cipher suites, insecure renegotiation, CRIME, Heartbleed and more.
- Server certificate validation and revocation checking through OCSP stapling.
- Support for StartTLS handshakes on SMTP, XMPP, LDAP, POP, IMAP, RDP, PostGres and FTP.
- Support for client certificates when scanning servers that perform mutual authentication.
- Scan results can be written to an XML or JSON file for further processing.
- And much more!
SSLyze can be installed directly via pip:
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install sslyze
sslyze --regular www.yahoo.com:443 www.google.com "[2607:f8b0:400a:807::2004]:443"
It is also easy to directly clone the repository and the fetch the requirements:
git clone https://github.com/nabla-c0d3/sslyze.git
cd sslyze
pip install -r requirements.txt --target ./lib
python -m sslyze --regular www.yahoo.com:443 www.google.com "[2607:f8b0:400a:807::2004]:443"
On Linux, the python-dev package needs to be installed first so that the nassl C extension can be compiled:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
SSLyze has been tested on the following platforms: Windows 7 (32 and 64 bits), Debian 7 (32 and 64 bits), macOS Sierra
SSLyze can be used as a Python module in order to run scans and process the results directly in Python. Full documentation is available here.
A simple example follows:
# Setup the server to scan and ensure it is online/reachable
hostname = u'smtp.gmail.com'
try:
server_info = ServerConnectivityInfo(hostname=hostname, port=587,
tls_wrapped_protocol=TlsWrappedProtocolEnum.STARTTLS_SMTP)
server_info.test_connectivity_to_server()
except ServerConnectivityError as e:
# Could not establish an SSL connection to the server
raise RuntimeError(u'Error when connecting to {}: {}'.format(hostname, e.error_msg))
# Run one scan command synchronously to list the server's TLS 1.0 cipher suites
print(u'\nRunning one scan command synchronously...')
synchronous_scanner = SynchronousScanner()
command = Tlsv10ScanCommand()
scan_result = synchronous_scanner.run_scan_command(server_info, command)
for cipher in scan_result.accepted_cipher_list:
print(u' {}'.format(cipher.name))More advanced examples (such as running scan commands concurrently) are available in the api_sample.py file and in the SSLyze documentation.
A pre-compiled Windows executable is available in the Releases tab. The package can also be generated by running the following command:
python.exe setup_py2exe.py py2exe
SSLyze is all Python code but it uses an OpenSSL wrapper written in C called nassl, which was specifically developed for allowing SSLyze to access the low-level OpenSSL APIs needed to perform deep SSL testing.
