SSL Guardian will detect weak SSL certificates in real time

Heise did not only release a webtool that will check for weak SSL certificates (see Debian openssl issue), they also released Heise SSL Guardian that will work realtime on your PC and warn you if a vulnerable SSL key was detected. Caveat is that it won't work for Firefox or Opera. Firefox users can have a look at the SSL Blacklist extension.

Supported platforms

Operating systems: Windows 2000, XP, Vista.

All Windows applications that use Windows CryptoAPI will be protected by SSL Guardian. This includes Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, as well as Windows Mail. However, SSL Guardian does not protect Firefox and Opera as these use their own crypto libraries and not CryptoAPI. In order to protect Firefox, the Firefox SSL Blacklist extension is needed, as this has a similar function. (Source: Heise.co.uk)
