testssl: Only check available protocols.
$ testssl --protocols ${example-com}
try on your machine
The command testssl --protocols ${example-com}
is used to analyze the supported SSL/TLS protocols for a specified domain (in this case, ${example-com}
).
Here's a breakdown of each component:
testssl
: This is the executable or command used to run the testssl script or program.--protocols
: This flag indicates that the user wants to test and display the supported SSL/TLS protocols for the specified domain.${example-com}
: This is a placeholder domain name. It is assumed that you would replace${example-com}
with the actual domain you want to analyze.
When you execute this command, the testssl
program will connect to the specified domain and retrieve information about the protocols it supports, such as SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2, TLSv1.3, etc. The program will then display this information on your console or command line output.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
