<p>OpenSSL is a cryptography toolkit providing implementations of SSL/TLS protocols and various cryptographic algorithms. Essential for certificate management, encryption, and secure communications.</p>
<hr>
<h2>Hashes</h2>
<ul>
<li>openssl dgst -sha256 file.txt - Calculate SHA-256 hash</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl dgst -md5 file.txt - Calculate MD5 hash</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl dgst -sha512 file.txt - Calculate SHA-512 hash</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>echo -n "text" | openssl dgst -sha256 - Hash from stdin</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>Base64 Encoding</h2>
<ul>
<li>openssl base64 -in file.txt - Base64 encode</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl base64 -d -in encoded.txt - Base64 decode</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>echo "text" | openssl base64 - Encode from stdin</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>Certificate Management</h2>
<ul>
<li>openssl x509 -in cert.pem -text -noout - View certificate details</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl x509 -in cert.pem -dates -noout - Show validity dates</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl x509 -in cert.pem -fingerprint -noout - Show fingerprint</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl req -new -x509 -key key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 - Generate self-signed cert</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>Key Generation</h2>
<ul>
<li>openssl genrsa -out key.pem 2048 - Generate RSA private key (2048 bits)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl genrsa -out key.pem 4096 - Generate RSA private key (4096 bits)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl ecparam -genkey -name secp256r1 -out key.pem - Generate EC private key</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem - Extract public key</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>Encryption/Decryption</h2>
<ul>
<li>openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in file.txt -out file.enc - Encrypt file</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -in file.enc -out file.txt - Decrypt file</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl enc -aes-256-gcm -in file.txt -out file.enc - Encrypt with GCM</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>SSL/TLS Testing</h2>
<ul>
<li>openssl s_client -connect host:443 - Connect to SSL server</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl s_client -connect host:443 -showcerts - Show certificate chain</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>openssl s_client -connect host:443 -servername example.com - SNI support</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>Common Examples</h2>
<h3>Calculate Hash</h3>
<pre><code>openssl dgst -sha256 file.iso</code></pre>
<p>Calculate SHA-256 hash of file.</p>
<h3>View Certificate</h3>
<pre><code>openssl x509 -in cert.pem -text -noout</code></pre>
<p>Display certificate information.</p>
<h3>Generate Self-Signed Certificate</h3>
<pre><code>openssl req -new -x509 -key key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365</code></pre>
<p>Create self-signed certificate valid for 1 year.</p>
<h3>Encrypt File</h3>
<pre><code>openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in secret.txt -out secret.enc</code></pre>
<p>Encrypt file with AES-256-CBC.</p>
<h3>Test SSL Connection</h3>
<pre><code>openssl s_client -connect example.com:443</code></pre>
<p>Test SSL/TLS connection to server.</p>
<hr>
<h2>Tips</h2>
<ul>
<li>Use modern algorithms (AES-256-GCM, SHA-256, ECDSA)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Always use -salt for encryption (default in newer versions)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>RSA 2048-bit minimum, prefer 4096 for long-term keys</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>EC keys are smaller and faster than RSA</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Use s_client to debug SSL/TLS connections</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Check certificate expiration dates regularly</li>
</ul>
