overview
Tool to extract server certificates
history
crip is the command-line executable for Certificate Ripper, a small security utility for extracting server certificate chains and exporting them in formats useful to TLS and Java truststore workflows.
Certificate Ripper appeared as a Java/GraalVM-oriented CLI project in 2021. The official README positions it as a no-OpenSSL certificate extraction tool with native executables in releases and support for HTTPS, WebSocket, mail, FTP, and database TLS endpoints.
Official installation instructions cover GitHub releases, Homebrew, the maintainer's Homebrew tap, and Debian/Ubuntu packaging, with additional community packaging for AUR, Nix, Chocolatey, and Scoop. That makes crip notable less for ecosystem size than for broad binary packaging of a narrowly scoped certificate workflow.
Common usage is printing or exporting remote server certificates as human-readable output, PEM, DER, JKS, or PKCS12, including bulk extraction from multiple URLs and proxy-aware operation.
For package indexes, crip is a compact example of a JVM project distributed as native executables as well as a fat JAR, which reduces the usual Java runtime friction for a CLI security tool.

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
