Get SSL Labs Test Result PowerShell

Get SSL Labs Test Result PowerShell

Hello,

Today we’ll see how we can use PowerShell and the Web API of SSL Labs to analyze a site or several sites, and then retrieve the result in a nice formatted PowerShell object.

You can use the SSL Lab test from a any web browser at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html.

First, type the hostname of the website you want to test, then, click submit. A few tens of seconds later you should have the result. This is a great tool that will provide you a ton of information about your SSL configuration and security level of your website.

This website offers an API with a complete documentation:

I wrote a PowerShell function to use it with easy for website analysis, you can access it on GitHub, it may be more recent than the extract here:

function Get-SslLabsScore{
    [CmdletBinding()]
    Param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
            ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true,
            ValueFromPipeline = $true,
            Position = 0)]
        [String[]]$UrlList
    )

    Begin{
        [int]$i = 0
    }
    Process{
        Foreach ($Url in $UrlList)  {  
            try  { 
                $i++ 
                Write-Progress -Activity "Checking URI" -Status "$Url - $i/$(@($UrlList).count) $($i/$(@($UrlList).count)*100 -as [int])%" -PercentComplete ($i/$(@($UrlList).count)*100 -as [int])

Get SSL Labs Test Result PowerShell – Inside a script

You can also use it inside a small script that you can share with your CISO for an easy usage:

#region functions

    Param(
        [String]$InitialDirectory = $pwd,

#endregion

$InputFile = Show-FilePicker
$List = Get-Content -Path $InputFile

Get-SslLabsScore -UrlList $List | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Delimiter ';' SslLabsResult.csv
Invoke-Item .\SslLabsResult.csv

The script will ask you for a TXT (with a graphical popup) file with a site list to analyze, export the result to a CSV, and then open the CSV with the default program configured on your computer. This is very handy for a non PowerShell used.
