SSLeuth

By: mcortt
Instantly view any website's security status. SSLeuth provides a detailed, color-coded popup showing TLS connection details and the full certificate chain, helping you quickly identify connection warnings or issues. Works on Firefox for Android too!

Features & Capabilities

An open-source browser extension that provides a detailed, easy-to-read view of any website's TLS/SSL certificate and connection security.

Why SSLeuth?

Modern browsers, especially on mobile, often hide important security details. SSLeuth brings this crucial information back, allowing developers, security professionals, and curious users to see exactly how their connection is secured.

Features

  • At-a-Glance Security Status > A prominent, color-coded badge clearly labels the connection as SECURE (Green), WARNING (Yellow), or INSECURE (Red). It provides a simple, clear reason for any non-secure status.
  • Detailed Connection Analysis > Get a complete picture of the TLS connection with details that are normally hidden, including the HTTP protocol version, cipher suite, key exchange group, HSTS status, and more.
  • Full Certificate Chain Inspection > Dive deep into the certificate chain with a clean, collapsible interface. Each certificate's Subject, Issuer, Validity Period, and Fingerprints are parsed into an easy-to-read format.
  • Robust and Accurate > SSLeuth uses background listeners to capture security information directly from network requests and intelligently handles cached navigations (like using the back/forward buttons) to prevent showing stale data.

Is SSLeuth Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

SSLeuth requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
