how to quickly identify weak ssl ciphers and protocols on your domain with a simple api

#api #webdev #devtools #opensource

the problem

keeping ssl/tls configurations secure is often overlooked until something breaks or gets exploited. manually checking each server can be time-consuming and prone to missing vulnerabilities.

the solution

use the ssl-cipher-suite-analyzer api to automatically analyze your domain's ssl/tls setup. it scans and reports weak cipher suites, outdated protocols like tls 1.0/1.1, and compares against known vulnerabilities.


curl -s https://ssl-cipher-suite-analyzer.apimesh.xyz/check?domain=example.com

// sample output
{
  "domain": "example.com",
  "weak_protocols": ["tls1.0", "tls1.1"],
  "weak_ciphers": ["RC4-SHA", "DES-CBC3-SHA"],
  "recommended_action": "disable outdated protocols and weak cipher suites"
}

how it works

the api aggregates data from public ssl/tls scans, cross-references known vulnerabilities, and provides a clear report. it analyzes your domain’s ssl handshake configurations to identify insecure cipher suites and outdated protocols.
