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 thetestssl
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 isexample.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}
.
