Description
Cert Spotter is a Certificate Transparency log monitor from SSLMate that alerts you when an SSL/TLS certificate is issued for one of your domains. Cert Spotter is easier to use than other open source CT monitors, since it does not require a database. It's also more robust, since it uses a special certificate parser that ensures it won't miss certificates.
You can use Cert Spotter to detect:
- Certificates issued to attackers who have compromised your DNS and are redirecting your visitors to their malicious site.
- Certificates issued to attackers who have taken over an abandoned sub-domain in order to serve malware under your name.
- Certificates issued to attackers who have compromised a certificate authority and want to impersonate your site.
- Certificates issued in violation of your corporate policy or outside of your centralized certificate procurement process.
N.B. Cert Spotter fetches the entire set of CT logs, using a large amount of bandwidth while doing so, possibly for a week or more.
