SSLScan Tutorial: A Guide to Testing SSL/TLS Security

SSLScan is a lightweight, command-line security tool used to assess the SSL/TLS configuration of remote servers. Security researchers, penetration testers, and system administrators rely on it to quickly identify weak encryption, deprecated protocols, and misconfigured certificates that could leave a server vulnerable to attacks. How SSLScan Works

Instead of passively listening to traffic, SSLScan actively probes a target server. It acts as a client and uses a brute-force method to initiate multiple connections, systematically testing every possible combination of SSL/TLS versions and cipher suites to see what the server accepts.
