# OpenSSL Cheatsheet ## Read X.509 Certificate A certificate can be read via ```sh openssl x509 -in $CERT -text ``` ## Generate CSR A Certificate Signing Request needs a private alongside the request for a cert. This is done in the following way ```sh openssl req -new -nodes -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout $PRIVATE_KEY -out $CERT_CSR ``` ## Create an X.509 Certificate Create a X.509 certificate via ```sh openssl x509 -newkey -nodes rsa:4096 -keyout $PRIVATE_KEY -out $CERT -sha256 -days 365 openssl req -new -x509 -keyout cert.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes ``` ## Extract Keys from PFX Cert Key and cert form PFX ```sh openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -nocerts -out key.pem -nodes openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -out cert.pem -clcerts -nokeys ``` ## Extract & Repack PFX Cert Extract & Repack with another password, e.g. from `mimikatz` to `cqure` ```sh openssl pkcs12 -in *.pfx -out temp.pem -nodes openssl pkcs12 -export -out *.pfx -in temp.pem ``` ## RSA ### Read Parameters of a RSA Key Show parameters of the private key ```sh openssl rsa -in $PRIVATE_KEY -text -noout ``` ### Create RSA Key Generate an OpenSSL RSA key via ```sh openssl genrsa -out $PRIVATE_KEY 4096 ``` Generate an OpenSSl RSA public key from a private key ```sh openssl rsa -in $PRIVATE_KEY -pubout -out public-key.pem ``` ### Encrypt RSA Encrypt RSA current and deprecated ```sh openssl pkeyutl -encrypt -in $CLEAR_TEXT -out $CLEAR_TEXT -pubin -inkey $PUBLIC_KEY openssl rsautl -encrypt -in $CLEAR_TEXT -out $ENCRYPTED -pubin -inkey $PUBLIC_KEY ``` ### Decrypt RSA Decrypt a RSA cipher with the private key ```sh openssl pkeyutl -decrypt -in $CIPHER -out $PLAIN_TEXT -inkey $PRIVATE_KEY ``` Deprecated version of RSA decryption is the following ```sh openssl rsautl -decrypt -in $CIPHER -out $PLAIN_TEXT -inkey $PRIVATE_KEY ``` ## Diffie-Hellman ### Read Parameters of a DH Keys Output of a DH key is done the following way ```sh openssl dhparam -in $PRIVATE_KEY -text -noout ``` ### Create DH Key A Diffie-Hellman key can be created via ```sh openssl dhparam -out $PRIVATE_KEY 4096 ``` ## AES ### Encrypt AES Encrypt AES ```sh openssl aes-256-cbc -e -in $PLAIN_TEXT -out $CIPHER ``` ### Decrypt AES Decrypt AES ```sh openssl aes-256-cbc -d -in $CIPHER -out $PLAIN_TEXT ``` ## PBKDF2 ### Encrypt PBKDF2 Encrypt file via PBKDF2 with 128000 iterations ```sh openssl aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -iter 128000 -e -in $PLAIN_TEXT -out $CIPHER ``` ### Decrypt PBKDF2 Decrypt file via PBKDF2 with an iteration of 128000 ```sh openssl aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -iter 128000 -d -in $CIPHER -out $PLAIN_TEXT ``` ## ECPoint (EC) * RFC5480 ### Read PEM Public Key ```sh openssl ec -pubin -in publickey.pem -noout -text ```
