[Linux] How to get the serial of a TLS / SSL certificate from a domain name in 2019 – EASY!

Linux:

Example given: get the serial number on the TLS certificate google.com uses you can use this command:

echo -n | openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 2>&1 | openssl x509 -noout -serial

If your webserver is providing the TLS certificate on a different port just change port 443 to your HTTPS port.

Using example.com with port 1443 (it’ll fail since example.com doesn’t listen on port 1443)

echo -n | openssl s_client -connect example.com:1443 2>&1 | openssl x509 -noout -serial
