TLS-Scanner : The TLS-Scanner Module from TLS-Attacker

TLS-Scanner is a tool created by the Chair for Network and Data Security from the Ruhr-University Bochum to assist pentesters and security researchers in the evaluation of TLS Server configurations.

Note: It is a research tool intended for TLS developers, pentesters, administrators and researchers. There is no GUI. It is in the first version and may contain some bugs.

Compiling TLS-Scanner

In order to compile and use it, you need to have Java and Maven installed, as well as TLS-Attacker in Version 2.6

Alternatively, if you are in hurry, you can skip the tests by using:

$ mvn clean package -DskipTests=true

If you want to use it as a library you need to install it with the following command:

$ mvn clean install

For hints on installing the required libraries checkout the corresponding GitHub repositories.

Note: In order to run this tool you need TLS-Attacker version 2.6
