sslscan: Test a server on port 443.

sslscan

$ sslscan ${example-com}

try on your machine

The command sslscan ${example-com} is likely a shell command where ${example-com} is a placeholder for an actual domain name or IP address.

SSLScan is a command-line tool used to analyze and identify various SSL/TLS vulnerabilities in a server's SSL configuration. By executing the sslscan command followed by a domain name or IP address, the tool connects to the specified server and performs a series of SSL handshake tests to determine the supported SSL/TLS protocols, ciphers, SSL certificate details, and potential vulnerabilities.

For example, if you replace ${example-com} with example.com, the command sslscan example.com will attempt to scan the server configuration of example.com for SSL vulnerabilities. Based on the output, you can determine if the server is properly configured and identify any weak SSL/TLS protocols or susceptible ciphers that could be exploited by attackers.
