BlogPurpose of the SSL Certficate Scanner Tool
Use this tool to scan a range or list of servers and retrieve the SSL Certificates and connection levels (SSLv2, SSLv3, TLS1, TLS1.1, TLS1.2 etc) supported by the servers. SSLv2 and SSLv3 may not be available for testing due to operating system limitations. Note: we can test TLS 1.3 connections if you run this software from Windows 11. Prior versions of Windows do not support TLS1.3 in SCHANNEL..About the SSL Certificate Scanner Tool
The SSL Certificate Scanner Tool is used to quickly retrieve and check expiration dates and other parameters of SSL Certificates from a set of secure web servers. It also checks the web server itself to see if weak SSLv2/SSLv3 (if your OS allows this) connections are accepted. The tool is launched from within NetScanTools Pro and runs separately. It accepts a list of secure website hostnames or IPv4 addresses. Does not yet support TLS1.3.
