Is anyone aware of an alternative to crt.sh ? I really like the website, and it's simple visualization. No bloat around it, just the pure purpose of providing insights from CT logs.

However, the website quite often returns server errors, and others. More often than it did in the past, a few years ago. My hope is, to find a similarly informative tool that is however a bit more reliable.

I dislike it if I have to put down a note to re-check a domain's certificate history and to remember just because the service was down by the time I was interested in the information.

Just learned that Certificate Transparency logs are a thing... I hate it. One day, and a private subdomain is crawled by AI scrapers. These bas***ds...

At least some of them are being trapped by iocaine

AI Infrastructure Exposes Widespread Security Gaps

A staggering 2 million hosts and 1 million exposed services were uncovered through a simple scan of certificate transparency logs, revealing alarming security gaps in AI infrastructure. The findings painted a concerning picture: most AI projects lack even basic authentication, leaving them vulnerable to…

Google Chrome plots a quantum-safe future for HTTPS

Today I published an update on the #Canonical supported #upki project, which brings browser-grade Public Key Infrastructure to Linux through the efficient #CRLite data format, with the core revocation engine now functional and available to test!

Beyond current progress, this post explores broader integration, performance, and future capabilities like Certificate Transparency enforcement and Merkle Tree.

This is all part of the effort to increase the resilience of #Ubuntu machines by default, but I hope it has a wider benefit on the Linux ecosystem going forward!

It seems that OpenAI is scraping [certificate transparency] logs

Eric Brandes dropped Part 2 of our CT logs series. The performance gap is staggering.

Tiled logs: 100M+ records/day
RFC 6962: Low millions (with throttling)

Google throttles hard. Cloudflare's Nimbus is decent. Let's Encrypt's tiled logs absolutely fly.

Post includes working Golang code for both log types. Real implementations, not theory.

Certificate Transparency logs hold billions of certificates but searching them is brutal. crt.sh is slow, truncates results, and crashes constantly.

We built a better CT search tool at CertKit (free to use). Part 1 of my series explains why CT exists (DigiNotar hack), how it works, and the insane scale (96M certs/week).
