Title       :   OpenSSL: Get all certificates from a website in plain text

This snippet shows you how to get all certificates of a website in plain text.
With a few OpenSSL commands one can get the website certificate plus
intermediate certificates, however, if you feed that output to OpenSSL it only
works on the first certificate. Using a bit of sed and bash magic we can feed
all certificates one by one to OpenSSL.

### Website certificate

You can request a website's certificate using `openssl s_client`. To view the
public key from google.com we can use the following command:



   openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 </dev/null


It will output a bunch of text, including the certificate, protocol and
connection information and a part of the chain. If we just want the certificate
we can use the following command:



   openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 2>&1 < /dev/null | sed -n '/-----BEGIN/,/-----END/p'


This will output only the public key.

### Plain text

If we feed that output into openssl again, we can output the certificate
information in plain text:



   openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 2>&1 < /dev/null | sed -n '/-----BEGIN/,/-----END/p' | openssl x509 -noout -text


This is all the information about a certificate:

### Multiple certificates

Using the `-showcerts` option of `s_client` we can show all certificates the
website sends, including the issuing and intermediate certificates:



   openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 -showcerts 2>&1 < /dev/null


If we want to receive those certificates without all the other output we can use
the same sed trick as before:



   openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 -showcerts 2>&1 < /dev/null | sed -n '/-----BEGIN/,/-----END/p'


However, if we feed that into openssl again to receive the plain text output we
only get output for the first certificate:


   openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 -showcerts 2>&1 < /dev/null | sed -n '/-----BEGIN/,/-----END/p' | openssl x509 -noout -text


According to the OpenSSL documentation the x509 option only supports one
certificate at a time. Using the following one liner we:

 * Set the Internal Field Separator to a colon `(:)`.
 * Get all the certificates for google.com in a variable named `certificates`.
 * We use a group of sed commands to first print the certificates, then we substitute the beginning of the `-----BEGIN` line with a colon `(:)` and then the original `----BEGIN` line resulting in `:-----BEGIN`.
 * We do a for loop on all certificates in the output, split by a colon `(:)`.
 * We feed those one by one to OpenSSL
 * We change the Internal Field Seperator back to what it was.

This is the command:

   OLDIFS=$IFS; IFS=':' certificates=$(openssl s_client -connect google.com:443
   -showcerts -tlsextdebug 2>&1 </dev/null | sed -n '/-----BEGIN/,/-----END/
   {/-----BEGIN/ s/^/:/; p}'); for certificate in ${certificates#:}; do echo
   $certificate | openssl x509 -noout -text; done; IFS=$OLDIFS

Do note that you need the GNU version of `sed`. The OS X or BSD version will not
work.

The output are all certificates in text format:

### Other certificate information

You can also retrieve for example the OCSP URL of all certificates:

   OLDIFS=$IFS; IFS=':' certificates=$(openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 -showcerts -tlsextdebug 2>&1 </dev/null | sed -n '/-----BEGIN/,/-----END/ {/-----BEGIN/ s/^/:/; p}'); for certificate in ${certificates#:}; do echo $certificate | openssl x509 -noout -ocsp_uri; done; IFS=$OLDIFS

Output:

   http://clients1.google.com/ocsp
   http://gtglobal-ocsp.geotrust.com

Serial Numbers:

   OLDIFS=$IFS; IFS=':' certificates=$(openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 -showcerts -tlsextdebug 2>&1 </dev/null | sed -n '/-----BEGIN/,/-----END/ {/-----BEGIN/ s/^/:/; p}'); for certificate in ${certificates#:}; do echo $certificate | openssl x509 -noout -serial; done; IFS=$OLDIFS

Output:


   serial=667966FCE2C7D02D
   serial=023A69
   serial=12BBE6

The subject in the certificates:

   OLDIFS=$IFS; IFS=':' certificates=$(openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 -showcerts -tlsextdebug 2>&1 </dev/null | sed -n '/-----BEGIN/,/-----END/ {/-----BEGIN/ s/^/:/; p}'); for certificate in ${certificates#:}; do echo $certificate | openssl x509 -noout -subject; done; IFS=$OLDIFS

Output:

   subject= /C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=*.google.com
   subject= /C=US/O=Google Inc/CN=Google Internet Authority G2
   subject= /C=US/O=GeoTrust Inc./CN=GeoTrust Global CA


All the fingerprints:


   OLDIFS=$IFS; IFS=':' certificates=$(openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 -showcerts -tlsextdebug 2>&1 </dev/null | sed -n '/-----BEGIN/,/-----END/ {/-----BEGIN/ s/^/:/; p}'); for certificate in ${certificates#:}; do echo $certificate | openssl x509 -noout -subject; echo $certificate | openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint; done; IFS=$OLDIFS


Output:


   subject= /C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=*.google.com
   SHA1 Fingerprint=99:00:2C:A4:91:BC:53:D7:53:75:B1:8B:F9:24:55:26:4B:69:A4:34

   SHA1 Fingerprint=D8:3C:1A:7F:4D:04:46:BB:20:81:B8:1A:16:70:F8:18:34:51:CA:24
