testssl: Only check HTTP security headers.

testssl

$ testssl --headers ${example-com}

try on your machine

The command testssl --headers ${example-com} is using a program called testssl to analyze the HTTP headers of a remote domain, in this case, the domain represented by ${example-com}.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

testssl: This is the name of the program that is being executed. It is a command-line tool used for testing SSL/TLS encryption vulnerabilities.
--headers: This is an option or parameter passed to the testssl command. It instructs the program to specifically analyze the HTTP headers of a domain.
${example-com}: This is a placeholder or variable containing the domain name to be tested. It is represented within ${} to indicate it's a variable. In this case, it suggests that the domain name is example.com, but the actual value would depend on what is stored in the ${example-com} variable.

By combining these elements, the command will run the testssl program and instruct it to analyze the HTTP headers of the domain provided or referenced by ${example-com}.
