root@kali:~# testssl --help
"testssl [options] <URI>" or "testssl <options>"
"testssl <option>", where <option> is mostly standalone and one of:
--help what you're looking at
-b, --banner displays banner + version of testssl
-v, --version same as previous
-V, --local [pattern] pretty print all local ciphers (of openssl only). If search pattern supplied: it is an
an ignore case word pattern of cipher hexcode or any other string in its name, kx or bits
"testssl [options] <URI>", where <URI> is:
<URI> host|host:port|URL|URL:port port 443 is default, URL can only contain HTTPS as a protocol
and [options] is/are:
-t, --starttls <protocol> Does a run against a STARTTLS enabled service which is one of ftp, smtp, lmtp, pop3, imap,
xmpp, xmpp-server, telnet, ldap, nntp, sieve, postgres, mysql
--xmpphost <to_domain> For STARTTLS xmpp or xmpp-server checks it supplies the domainname (like SNI)
--mx <domain/host> Tests MX records from high to low priority (STARTTLS, port 25)
--file/-iL <fname> Mass testing option: Reads one testssl.sh command line per line from <fname>.
Can be combined with --serial or --parallel. Implicitly turns on "--warnings batch".
Text format 1: Comments via # allowed, EOF signals end of <fname>
Text format 2: nmap output in greppable format (-oG), 1 port per line allowed
--mode <serial|parallel> Mass testing to be done serial (default) or parallel (--parallel is shortcut for the latter)
--warnings <batch|off> "batch" doesn't continue when a testing error is encountered, off continues and skips warnings
--connect-timeout <seconds> useful to avoid hangers. Max <seconds> to wait for the TCP socket connect to return
--openssl-timeout <seconds> useful to avoid hangers. Max <seconds> to wait before openssl connect will be terminated
single check as <options> ("testssl URI" does everything except -E and -g):
-e, --each-cipher checks each local cipher remotely
-E, --cipher-per-proto checks those per protocol
-s, --std, --categories tests standard cipher categories by strength
-f, --fs, --forward-secrecy checks forward secrecy settings
-p, --protocols checks TLS/SSL protocols (including ALPN/HTTP2 and SPDY)
-g, --grease tests several server implementation bugs like GREASE and size limitations
-S, --server-defaults displays the server's default picks and certificate info
-P, --server-preference displays the server's picks: protocol+cipher
-x, --single-cipher <pattern> tests matched <pattern> of ciphers
(if <pattern> not a number: word match)
-c, --client-simulation test client simulations, see which client negotiates with cipher and protocol
-h, --header, --headers tests HSTS, HPKP, server/app banner, security headers, cookie, reverse proxy, IPv4 address
-U, --vulnerable tests all (of the following) vulnerabilities (if applicable)
-H, --heartbleed tests for Heartbleed vulnerability
-I, --ccs, --ccs-injection tests for CCS injection vulnerability
-T, --ticketbleed tests for Ticketbleed vulnerability in BigIP loadbalancers
--BB, --robot tests for Return of Bleichenbacher's Oracle Threat (ROBOT) vulnerability
--SI, --starttls-injection tests for STARTTLS injection issues
-R, --renegotiation tests for renegotiation vulnerabilities
-C, --compression, --crime tests for CRIME vulnerability (TLS compression issue)
-B, --breach tests for BREACH vulnerability (HTTP compression issue)
-O, --poodle tests for POODLE (SSL) vulnerability
-Z, --tls-fallback checks TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV mitigation
-W, --sweet32 tests 64 bit block ciphers (3DES, RC2 and IDEA): SWEET32 vulnerability
-A, --beast tests for BEAST vulnerability
-L, --lucky13 tests for LUCKY13
-WS, --winshock tests for winshock vulnerability
-F, --freak tests for FREAK vulnerability
-J, --logjam tests for LOGJAM vulnerability
-D, --drown tests for DROWN vulnerability
-4, --rc4, --appelbaum which RC4 ciphers are being offered?
tuning / connect options (most also can be preset via environment variables):
-9, --full includes tests for implementation bugs and cipher per protocol (could disappear)
--bugs enables the "-bugs" option of s_client, needed e.g. for some buggy F5s
--assume-http if protocol check fails it assumes HTTP protocol and enforces HTTP checks
--ssl-native use OpenSSL where sockets are normally used. Faster but inaccurate, avoid it if possible
--openssl <PATH> use this openssl binary (default: look in $PATH, $RUN_DIR of testssl)
--proxy <host:port|auto> (experimental) proxy connects via <host:port>, auto: values from $env ($http(s)_proxy)
-6 also use IPv6. Works only with supporting OpenSSL version and IPv6 connectivity
--ip <ip> a) tests the supplied <ip> v4 or v6 address instead of resolving host(s) in URI
b) "one" means: just test the first DNS returns (useful for multiple IPs)
c) "proxy" means: dns resolution via proxy. Needed when host has no DNS.
-n, --nodns <min|none> if "none": do not try any DNS lookups, "min" queries A, AAAA and MX records
--sneaky leave less traces in target logs: user agent, referer
--user-agent <user agent> set a custom user agent instead of the standard user agent
--ids-friendly skips a few vulnerability checks which may cause IDSs to block the scanning IP
--phone-out allow to contact external servers for CRL download and querying OCSP responder
--add-ca <CA files|CA dir> path to <CAdir> with *.pem or a comma separated list of CA files to include in trust check
--mtls <CLIENT CERT file> path to <CLIENT CERT> file in PEM format containing unencrypted certificate key (beta)
--basicauth <user:pass> provide HTTP basic auth information
--reqheader <header> add custom http request headers
output options (can also be preset via environment variables):
--quiet don't output the banner. By doing this you acknowledge usage terms normally appearing in the banner
--wide wide output for tests like RC4, BEAST. FS also with hexcode, kx, strength, RFC name
--show-each for wide outputs: display all ciphers tested -- not only succeeded ones
--mapping <openssl| openssl: use the OpenSSL cipher suite name as the primary name cipher suite name form (default)
iana|rfc -> use the IANA/(RFC) cipher suite name as the primary name cipher suite name form
no-openssl| -> don't display the OpenSSL cipher suite name, display IANA/(RFC) names only
no-iana|no-rfc> -> don't display the IANA/(RFC) cipher suite name, display OpenSSL names only
--color <0|1|2|3> 0: no escape or other codes, 1: b/w escape codes, 2: color (default), 3: extra color (color all ciphers)
--colorblind swap green and blue in the output
--debug <0-6> 1: screen output normal but keeps debug output in /tmp/. 2-6: see "grep -A 5 '^DEBUG=' testssl.sh"
--disable-rating Explicitly disables the rating output
file output options (can also be preset via environment variables)
--log, --logging logs stdout to '${NODE}-p${port}${YYYYMMDD-HHMM}.log' in current working directory (cwd)
--logfile|-oL <logfile> logs stdout to 'dir/${NODE}-p${port}${YYYYMMDD-HHMM}.log'. If 'logfile' is a dir or to a specified 'logfile'
--json additional output of findings to flat JSON file '${NODE}-p${port}${YYYYMMDD-HHMM}.json' in cwd
--jsonfile|-oj <jsonfile> additional output to the specified flat JSON file or directory, similar to --logfile
--json-pretty additional JSON structured output of findings to a file '${NODE}-p${port}${YYYYMMDD-HHMM}.json' in cwd
--jsonfile-pretty|-oJ <jsonfile> additional JSON structured output to the specified file or directory, similar to --logfile
--csv additional output of findings to CSV file '${NODE}-p${port}${YYYYMMDD-HHMM}.csv' in cwd or directory
--csvfile|-oC <csvfile> additional output as CSV to the specified file or directory, similar to --logfile
--html additional output as HTML to file '${NODE}-p${port}${YYYYMMDD-HHMM}.html'
--htmlfile|-oH <htmlfile> additional output as HTML to the specified file or directory, similar to --logfile
--out(f,F)ile|-oa/-oA <fname> log to a LOG,JSON,CSV,HTML file (see nmap). -oA/-oa: pretty/flat JSON.
"auto" uses '${NODE}-p${port}${YYYYMMDD-HHMM}'. If fname is a dir uses 'dir/${NODE}-p${port}${YYYYMMDD-HHMM}'
--hints additional hints to findings
--severity <severity> severities with lower level will be filtered for CSV+JSON, possible values <LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH|CRITICAL>
--append if (non-empty) <logfile>, <csvfile>, <jsonfile> or <htmlfile> exists, append to file. Omits any header
--overwrite if <logfile>, <csvfile>, <jsonfile> or <htmlfile> exists it overwrites it without any warning
--outprefix <fname_prefix> before '${NODE}.' above prepend <fname_prefix>
Options requiring a value can also be called with '=' e.g. testssl.sh -t=smtp --wide --openssl=/usr/bin/openssl <URI>.
<URI> always needs to be the last parameter.
