At HEXSSL, we are introducing a new dedicated section — SSL Tools — designed to help customers and system administrators quickly and accurately manage processes related to SSL/TLS certificates.
We have just released the first two professional tools:
- 🔹 CSR Generator (Certificate Signing Request)
- 🔹 CSR Checker (CSR Verifier)
This is just the beginning of a comprehensive toolkit that will be gradually expanded over the coming weeks — including SSL Checker, SSL Expiry Monitor, SSL Decoder, and OCSP/CRL Validator.
🧩 1. CSR Generator – fast and secure CSR creation
The new HEXSSL CSR Generator is a fully automated tool that enables the creation of Certificate Signing Requests (CSR) without the need to use a server console.
It was designed for administrators, developers, and hosting companies who need a reliable and quick way to generate a valid CSR file with a private key.
🔍 Features:
- Generate CSR for single and multi-level domains (e.g.,
example.com,www.example.com,mail.example.com) - Full support for SAN (Subject Alternative Names) fields
- Option to choose RSA key length (2048 / 4096 bit) or ECDSA (P-256 / P-384)
- Automatic validation of CN, O, OU, L, ST, and C fields
- Private key encryption using OpenSSL algorithms
- Automatic ZIP file generation containing both CSR and private key
- Compatibility with major CAs: DigiCert, Sectigo, Certum, GoGetSSL, Thawte, GeoTrust, RapidSSL, and others
⚙️ Advantages:
- No SSH or control panel access required
- Instant CSR generation in the browser — no login needed
- Fully compliant with the latest CA/B Forum requirements
- Modern, intuitive interface matching the HEXSSL style
🔍 2. CSR Checker – instant CSR analysis
The second tool released is the CSR Checker, which allows you to verify the content of any CSR file in just a few seconds before submitting it to a Certificate Authority.
🧠 Tool functions:
- Automatic reading and decoding of CSR content
- Display of all key details: CN (Common Name), SAN, O, OU, L, ST, C, Email, signature algorithm, and key length
- Detection of syntax errors and invalid fields
- Support for PEM / Base64 encoded files
- Validation of compatibility with DV / OV / EV certificate requirements
✅ Use cases:
- Verify CSR before submission to a CA (eliminates common issuance errors)
- Check organizational data accuracy (for OV/EV certificates)
- Confirm key length and algorithm type
- Analyze CSRs generated on external systems (e.g., IIS, cPanel, Plesk)
🔒 Security and privacy
All HEXSSL tools are developed in accordance with the highest security standards.
No data entered into the forms (CSR, keys, organization details) is transmitted or stored on HEXSSL servers — all operations are performed locally in the user’s browser or via secure HTTPS connection. This ensures full control over cryptographic keys, and the entire process of generating and verifying CSR files strictly follows the security by design principle.
🚀 What’s next?
In the coming weeks, the SSL Tools section will be expanded with additional functionalities, including:
- 🔸 SSL Checker – complete certificate and chain validation
- 🔸 SSL Expiry Monitor – automatic SSL expiration tracking with email notifications
- 🔸 SSL Decoder – decode PEM/DER certificates
- 🔸 OCSP/CRL Validator – check certificate revocation status in real time
The goal of HEXSSL is to create the most comprehensive SSL toolset in Poland and Central Europe, fully online and free for all users.
