certificate-ripper

The tool provides a command‑line interface for retrieving the TLS/SSL certificates presented by a server. It connects to a given URL, supports protocols such as HTTPS, WSS, FTPS, SMTPS, IMAPS and can operate behind a proxy. The extracted certificate data can be displayed in PEM format, saved into a PKCS#12 truststore, or output in bulk for multiple hosts with a single command.

It is intended for developers and system administrators who need to inspect or collect server certificates for tasks like trust‑store maintenance, validation, or auditing. The utility runs on any operating system and offers native executables that do not require a Java runtime, while also supporting installation through package managers such as Homebrew, apt, Chocolatey, and others.

Distinctive aspects include the ability to extract all certificate sub‑fields, support for a range of secure protocols, and optional bulk processing. The project is packaged as a stable, open‑source CLI with continuous integration status badges and code‑quality metrics displayed in its repository.
