SSL Complete Guide 2021: HTTP to HTTPS - Exploring TLS Certificates Via Shell

The video tutorial guides viewers through examining SSL certificates on a server. It covers accessing the server via SSH, exploring certificate contents, and analyzing TLS settings using online tools. The tutorial also checks for vulnerabilities and explains the importance of certificate chains, including intermediate certificates, in web security.

What is the first step in examining the certificate files on the server?

• Change directory to the certificate location

• Open the certificate in a text editor

• Download the certificate to a local machine

• Email the certificate to yourself

Which command is used to connect to the server using SSH?

• ftp root@

• scp root@

• telnet root@

• ssh root@

What tool is used to analyze the certificate online?

• Certificate Manager

• Certificate Viewer

• Certificate Editor

• Certificate Decoder

What is the overall rating of the certificate and TLS settings?

• A

• B

• C

• D

Which TLS version is enabled according to the analysis?

• TLS 1.2

• TLS 1.5

• TLS 1.3

• TLS 1.4

What hashing algorithm is used in the encryption protocol?

• SHA-256

• MD5

• AES

• SHA

What is the purpose of the full chain file?

• To backup the certificate

• To send the entire certificate chain to web browsers

• To store the private key securely

• To encrypt the certificate

Why is it important to send the entire certificate chain to web browsers?

• To reduce the size of the certificate

• To ensure the browser can verify the entire chain

• To increase the speed of the connection

• To encrypt the data being sent

What is the validity period of the intermediate certificate?

• One year

• Five years

• Ten years

• Three months

What is the role of the private key file?

• To backup the certificate

• To store the certificate chain

• To authenticate the server

• To encrypt the certificate
