go-check-certs

This is a simple utility written in Go to check SSL certificates for a list of hosts. Each certificate in the host's certificate chain is checked for the following:

• Expiration date. By default, you will be warned if a certificate will expire within 30 days. This can be adjusted with -years=X, -months=X, and/or -days=X.
• Signature algorithm. Some algorithms have already been sunset, others are in the process of being sunset. This can be spammy, so you can disable the check with -check-sig-alg=false.

Usage looks something like:

-check-certs -hosts="./path/to/file/with/hosts"

The hosts file is simply a single hostname:port per line. Empty lines or lines that start with # are ignored.

Self-signed certificates

go-check-certs is able to validate signature algorithms and expiration dates for self-signed certificates.

Prefix insecure host urls that cannot be verfied against the root CA with “i “.

tps://self-signed.example.com

go-check-certs will skip verifying self-signed.example.com's cert, but will perform the same signing algorithm and expiration checks on all certs in the bundle. Please be warned that this approach is vulnerable to mitm attacks, as the cert is not verfied against the root CA.

Current limitations:

• A certificate must be valid for it to be checked.
