A little brain issue prevented me from remembering how to connect to a HTTPS service on the command line. NetCat doesnt seems to work, it just hangs.
Fortunately after wasting sometime i recalled how to do it in not one but 2 ways:
Option 1 : ncat (part of the nmap tool kit)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | root@bt:~# ncat --ssl www.phillips321.co.uk 443 OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1 Host:www.phillips321.co.uk HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:24:24 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.21 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.21 OpenSSL/1.0.0d PHP/5.3.6 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.6 Vary: Accept-Encoding,Cookie Cache-Control: max-age=3, must-revalidate WP-Super-Cache: Served supercache file from PHP Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 |
Option 2 : openssl (part of the openssl tools)
1 | openssl s_client -connect www.phillips321.co.uk:443 |
Be warned though, using the openssl was will echo out all the certificate details….
