How do we get the results in json format?

json.dumps(host._as_dict())

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. :)

._asdict()

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

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?

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)))

I really appreciate that you took the time to share this with the world... super useful !!! Thank you.

Thank you so much for being so helpful.

cert.has_expired() doesn't work for this version. Is there a workaround?
Error
'cryptography.hazmat.bindings._rust.x509.Certificat' object has no attribute 'has_expired'

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

and what is "this" version !?!

Is there a workaround?

install "another" version?!
