OWASP DeepViolet TLS/SSL Scanner Code Project
DeepViolet is a TLS/SSL scanning API written in Java. To keep DeepViolet easy to use, identify bugs, reference implementations have been developed that consume the API. If you want to see what DeepViolet can do, use it from the command line in your scripts or use the graphical tool from the comfort of your desktop. Both tools can be used to scan HTTPS web servers to check server certificate trust chains, revocation status, check certificates for pending expiration, weak signing algorithms and much more.

How is DeepViolet Helpful?
Already great tools exist today for TLS/SSL scanning like, Qualys Labs, Mozilla Observatory, OpenSSL. Why do I care about DeepViolet? A valid question and one I asked myself. Originally, DeepViolet was written as an educational tool. A tool to learn TLS/SSL protocols and some of the issues around recent attack trends better. The goal was not to develop a TLS/SSL scanner and compete with existing powerful tools. However, it turns out there are few choices for easy to use open source Java TLS/SSL scanning APIs. What better way to learn TLS/SSL and provide other scanning projects with a Java friendly API scanning solution - the DeepViolet project was born.

=FAQs= Following are various frequently asked questions.

How can I participate in your project?
All you have to do is make the Project Leader's aware of your available time to contribute to the project. It is also important to let the Leader's know how you would like to contribute and pitch in to help the project meet it's goals and milestones. There are many different ways you can contribute to an OWASP Project, but communication with the leads is key.

If I am not a programmer can I participate in your project?
Yes, you can certainly participate in the project if you are not a programmer or technical. The project needs different skills and expertise and different times during its development. Currently, we are looking for researchers, writers, graphic designers, and a project administrator.

None yet. Fame, fortune, and security glory is within your grasp.

= Road Map and Getting Involved =

Roadmap
This project is operational and includes a number of powerful features. The roadmap is managed via the projects GitHub site, DeepViolet Roadmap. Project roadmap is tracked as GitHub project issues and labeled accordingly. For example, at the time of this writing an issue has been created for Beta5 which is labeled, Beta5 Proposed Features/Roadmap.

Getting Involved
You do not have to be a security expert or a programmer to contribute. Some of the ways you can help are as follows:

Coding
We could implement some of the later items on the roadmap sooner if someone wanted to help out with unit or automated regression tests

Localization
Are you fluent in another language? Can you help translate the text strings in the Code Project Template into that language?

Testing
Do you have a flair for finding bugs in software? We want to product a high quality product, so any help with Quality Assurance would be greatly appreciated. Let us know if you can offer your help.

Build Management
Are you a GitHub ninja? Into build management, setting up GitHub badges, Travis CI, etc. Let us know if you can offer your help.

Feedback
We are open to any thoughts you have to improve DeepViolet. When you propose your idea be sure to include how you can help. Ideas are great but execution is king. Please send your comments or ideas to the project leader(s) or post it as a project issue.
