Description

This module is a useful administrative scanner that allows you to cover a subnet to check whether or not server http certificates are expired. Using this scanner, you can uncover issuer of certificate, issue and expiry date.

Verification Steps

  1. Do: use auxiliary/scanner/http/cert

  2. Do: set RHOSTS [IP]

  3. Do: set THREADS [number of threads]

  4. Do: run

Scenarios

msf > use auxiliary/scanner/http/cert
msf auxiliary(cert) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.0/24
RHOSTS => 192.168.1.0/24
msf auxiliary(cert) > set THREADS 254
THREADS => 254
msf auxiliary(cert) > run
