GetAltName it’s a little script that can extract Subject Alt Names for SSL Certificates directly from HTTPS web sites which can provide you with DNS names or virtual servers.
It’s useful in a discovery phase of a pen-testing assessment, this tool can provide you with more information about your target and scope.
This code is in alpha stage and has been rewritten from Ruby to Python, it doesn’t do as much as it should. lots of things and features are missing, but it delivers, treat it as a quick-dirty-code. More features incoming, also you’re welcome to contribute if you want.
You can read more about how this tool works from my post in getroot.info (in Spanish).
