Quick Start

The quick start guide is showing you how to use TLS-Anvil to test a TLS server or client. This is basically a two step process. First TLS-Anvil is executed to perform the tests against the OpenSSL example server and client. TLS-Anvil as well as the OpenSSL server/client will run inside a Docker container. The TLS server/client images are provided by the TLS-Docker-Library project which we released alongside TLS-Anvil.

The second step is to analyze the results. Those are going to be imported into a web application that visualizes the results for each test case. The application is also able to inspect every connection between TLS-Anvil and the tested target at TCP message level.

Requirements​

  • Docker
  • Python (for using TLS-Docker-Library)

GitHub Repos​

  • TLS-Anvil (Testsuite)
  • TLS-Docker-Library (optional, for test server and clients)
  • Anvil-Web (optional, for a graphical user interface)
