TLS Inspector vs SSL Detective Plus

Trust & Safety in the palm of your hand. • Input & Inspect. It's really that simple. Input a domain or IP address using the TLS Inspector app, or inspect any website from within your favourite browser using our Inspect Website extension. • No Nonsense Results. "At a glance" has never been easier. TLS Inspector will show you the entire issue chain for any website, and whether or not your device trusts that chain. • Dive Deep. Details for days. View important properties of any TLS certificate including fingerprints, dates, algorithms, and more. • Stay Safe Online. No training required. TLS Inspector makes it easy to detect and avoid man-in-the-middle attacks on unsafe networks by highlighting invalid and untrustworthy certificates. • Right Place, Right Time. Inspect nearly anything from anywhere. Easily access TLS Inspector from other apps, such as Safari, with the Show Certificates share sheet action. TLS Inspector is free & libre open source software (FLOSS) with source code available on GitHub. TLS Inspector is made entirely without the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Large Language Models (LLMs).

SSL Detective Plus is a great tool for investigating SSL/TLS certificates and certificate chains. SSL Detective loads and displays SSL certificates and verifies SSL certificate chains in a easy to browse format. The SSL certificate chains can also be e-mailed to use or review on other systems. SSL Detective Plus uses the standard iPhone and iPad protocols to download and evaluate certificates and certificate chains to easily probe and troubleshoot certificate issues and resolve them quickly. SSL Detective is the perfect tool for troubleshooting SSL or TLS issues when connecting an iPhone or iPad to a web server, VPN (Virtual Private Network) server, mail server, MDM (Mobile Device Management) server, or any SSL/TLS enabled server. When an iPhone or iPad has a certificate error, only a portion of the server certificate may be displayed and it usually does not show the entire certificate or the certificate chain. Some apps will fail silently due to SSL/TLS error, or may log data to the system log. SSL Detective fills in the missing piece by being able to view the full certificate and the certificate chain for troubleshooting when attempting to resolve any issues. SSL Detective can also email the entire certificate chain right from the App, making it easy to troubleshoot the certificates on other systems SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are used to encrypt network traffic and verify that data has not been modified during transit. In order to have a successful SSL/TLS connection without warnings or failures, the certificate on the server must be valid and trusted.
