Security workflow

Security checks lab

Move from command to interpretation in one pass: run, paste output, and capture findings locally.

All examples are safe-by-default, with mutating paths explicitly marked.

Safety framework

Command risk profile

Risk band: Low Medium High

Required permissions: Read-only-first defaults; approved access for active checks

Risky command warning: Nmap/TLS probing can affect upstream rate limits

Rollout caveat: Test in staging; only escalate with rollback plan

Scope

Read-only-first Difficulty: Intermediate

  1. Validate TLS trust chain, protocol, and expiry windows.
  2. Validate security headers and response posture.
  3. Confirm recovery and rollback behavior after hardening changes.

Command cards

Core commands

Read-only Low risk

TLS inspection

openssl s_client -connect app.example.com:443 -servername app.example.com -showcerts -verify_return_error

Use with host value only. Replace host values with your endpoint.

Inspect in TLS lab

Read-only Low risk

Header capture

curl -sI https://app.example.com | sed -n '1,80p'

Pipe output into analyzer and verify security header presence.

Validate headers

Read-only Medium risk

Transport validation

nmap -p443 --script ssl-enum-ciphers app.example.com

Run from staging ranges; avoid sensitive production endpoints.
