NAME

heartbleeder - Test servers for OpenSSL CVE-2014-0160, aka Heartbleed

SYNOPSIS

heartbleeder [options] host[:443]

DESCRIPTION

heartbleeder is a tool that tests remotely (over a network) if a system is compromised by an insecure OpenSSL service, in accordance with CVE-2014-0160, aka Heartbleed.

More about Heartbleed Bug can be viewed at http://heartbleed.com.

OPTIONS

-hostfile=""

Path to a newline separated file with hosts or IPs.

-listen="localhost:5000"

Address to serve HTTP dashboard from.

-pg=false

Check PostgreSQL TLS. This option is incompatible with -hostfile.

-refresh=10m0s

Seconds to wait before rechecking secure hosts.

-retry=10s

Seconds to wait before retesting a host after an unfavorable response.

-timeout=5s

Timeout after sending heartbeat.

-workers=40

Number of workers to scan hosts with, only used with hostfile flag.

NOTES

Multiple hosts may be monitored by setting '-hostfile' flag to a file with newline separated addresses. A web dashboard will be available at 'http://localhost:5000' by default.

Postgres uses OpenSSL in a slightly different way. To test whether a Postgres server is vulnerable, run the following (defaults to port 5432). Example:

$ heartbleeder -pg example.com.br

WARNING

No guarantees are made about the accuracy of results, and you should verify them independently by checking your OpenSSL build.
