The use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, and its newer iteration, Transport Layer Security (TLS), has been on the rise with the ever-increasing need for privacy online. Modern cybercampaigns frequently focus on attacking users through the most common web protocols and applications.

The scope of this methodology includes:

• Verification of SSL/TLS capability
• SSL/TLS performance
