Appendix: Scan Commands

Every type of TLS check that SSLyze can run against a server (supported cipher suites, session renegotiation, etc.) is represented by a ScanCommand, which, when run against a server, will return a specific result.

This page lists all the ScanCommand and their corresponding results available in the current release of SSLyze.

For an example on how to run a scan via the Python API, see Running a Scan in Python.

The following scan commands are available in the current version of SSLyze:

The next sections describe the result class that corresponds to each scan command.
