zopyx.ssl-cert-check 0.4.4

A tool to check SSL certificate expiration dates.

zopyx.ssl-cert-check

A tool to check SSL certificate expiration dates.

Installation

You can install the package using pip or uv.

Using pip

pip install .

Using uv

uv pip install .

Usage

The tool checks SSL certificate expiration for a list of domains specified in a configuration file.

Using uvx

You can also run the tool directly using uvx:

uvx --from zopyx.ssl-cert-check ssl-cert-check

Default configuration

By default, it looks for a file named .ssl_domains in your home directory.

Create a file at ~/.ssl_domains with the following format (domain and port on each line):

example.com 443
another-domain.com 443

Then, run the following command:

check-ssl-domains

Custom configuration file

You can also provide a path to a different configuration file using the first argument:

check-ssl-domains /path/to/your/config_file

The format of the configuration file is the same as the default one.

Security Options

The tool includes several security-focused options:

# Allow connections to private IP addresses (use with caution)
check-ssl-domains --allow-private-ips

# Limit concurrent connections (default: 50)
check-ssl-domains --max-concurrent 20

# Set connection timeout (default: 5 seconds)
check-ssl-domains --timeout 10

Security Note: By default, the tool blocks connections to private IP addresses to prevent Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks. Only use --allow-private-ips if you need to check internal services and understand the security implications.

Example output

The tool will print a table with the host, port, days until expiration, and the status:

| Host               | Port | Expires In (Days) | Status      |
|--------------------|------|-------------------|-------------|
| example.com        | 443  | 30                | 30 days     |
| another-domain.com | 443  | 60                | 60 days     |
