Title: Alternatives to stunnel
Post by: T_Bone on November 08, 2010, 03:28:37 PM

Hi Guys

I currently use stunnel to connect to https sites to perform tasks such as banner grabbing when the site is https only, are there any other alternatives you would recommend?

Netcat / nc / ncat?

I'm being serious, I don't use it much so I don't know. But it's an idea.

Try http://www.obdev.at/products/ssl-proxy/index.html

Netcat can't negotiate SSL, at least not the version I have installed.

openssl?

openssl s_client -connect <site>:443
HEAD / HTTP/1.0

But looks like ncat can. I'll have to play with this more when I get home

I know netcat doesnt connect to SSL other than if you are running stunnel you can tunnel netcat through the connection but didnt know ncat did.. cool :)
