This works great at a basic level, I'm new with python, I struggled a bit figuring out where to run PIP from to get pyopenssl and the other dependencies installed to run it , but it was easy if when you install python, you get pip installed from the beginning , obviously you set the path variable, then you just use pip from the windows CMD and it works. I would like this code to have a separate alerts field in the output for certs expiring in 60 days I would also like to figure out getting email built into it.

How do we get the results in json format?

json.dumps(host._as_dict())

Thanks - but this is what I get

Code:
host = get_certificate('google.co.nz', 443)
print(host)
json.dumps(host._as_dict())

Error:
HostInfo(cert=<Certificate(subject=<Name(C=US,ST=California,L=Mountain View,O=Google LLC,CN=*.google.co.nz)>, ...)>, hostname='google.co.nz', peername=('142.250.66.195', 443))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\ssl-check.py", line 110, in
print_basic_info(hostinfo)
File ".\ssl-check.py", line 91, in print_basic_info
json.dumps(host._as_dict())
AttributeError: 'HostInfo' object has no attribute '_as_dict'

I am able to build the json manually but am thinking of a cooler option. :)

I'm running into a suspected firewall issue when I attempt to access few hosts, and the script is failing and erroring out with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/adm/checkcerts.py", line 53, in get_certificate
    sock.connect((hostname, port))
TimeoutError: [Errno 110] Connection timed out

For the specific hosts in my issue, I intend to address the issue with my networking team, but does anyone have a good suggestion for handling that error in the script?

Insanely dope script. namedtuple just blew my mind.
Any idea on how to verify the chain?

I am having problems with the verify_cert option is this working correctly and is there a way to check a self signed certificate?

How to add the output of the organization that issued the certificate to the script. For example
(O) Let's Encrypt

suharevA commented Dec 4, 2021

Everything. Figured it out
names_o = cert.issuer.get_attributes_for_oid(NameOID.ORGANIZATION_NAME)

when I get a list of sites and one of them does not have a TLS certificate configured, it generates an error:
sock.connect((hostname, port))
BlockingIOError: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable

Would it be possible to convert the cert to a byte string or an instance of asn1crypto.x509.Certificate please?

@dimazarno

Hi, the script is useful, but it's possible put these values: ('damjan.softver.org.mk', 443), ('expired.badssl.com', 443), ('wrong.host.badssl.com', 443), ('ca.ocsr.nl', 443), ('faß.de', 443), ('самодеј.мкд', 443), inside a text file? I mean exist an elegant way to read lines of file into list?

you can change HOSTS into this:

HOSTS = []

for line in hosts_file:
host, port = line.strip().split(':')
HOSTS.append((host, int(port)))

cert.has_expired() doesn't work for this version. Is there a workaround?
Error

cert.has_expired() doesn't work for this version.

and what is "this" version !?!

Is there a workaround?

install "another" version?!
